The complex presentation of multi-textual collage form and meaning:on the vanguard nature and significance of historical narrative in Folk Ballads
Folk Ballads adopts a pioneering form of multi-textual collage characterized by a mosaic-like artistic structure,a varied and intricate narrative style,and diverse intertextuality.It takes on a complex ideological significance by weaving together traditional and modern,revolutionary and enlightening,and the sentiments of literati and the spirit of intellectuals,which reflects a pursuit of deterministic values and meanings.It is a result of the combined influence of the society,literary trends and the author's creative pursuit,revealing the growing trend in contemporary avant-garde novel creation.It also unveils new tendencies in the development of avant-garde historical narrative in the early 21st century,namely,exploring the connection between history,reality and the self through the integration of fragmented and varied parts into a whole in order to achieve a reconstruction of deterministic values and meanings of literature and the world.
