Between"Fengtu"and"Heart":On the Narration Structure of Earthly Trilogy Luo Weizhang
The combined publication of Earthly Trilogy means that the relationship between the"three histories"is further integrated,and in addition to the meaning of"spiritual history",it also reveals the meaning of spatial dimension.It is not only beautiful in content,but also refreshed in structure.Drawing on the relevant insights of Japan scholar Watsuji Tetsuro's terrology in space theory,this paper anchors the two dimensions of"Terroir"and"Heart"as the different conno-tations that Luo Weizhang gives to the theme of"earthly",the former being the historical space of"earthly",and the latter the social existence of"earthly".The two dimensions under the"Earth"shape the flesh and blood of the"three histories"with philosophical themes,and the relationship between them is tied to the soul of the"three histories".This"theme-juxta-position"spatial narrative shows the structural aesthetics of Earth Trilogy.
