The Artistic Representation of Vanished Beauty——A Comparative Narrative Study of Bai Xianyong's Fictional Works
The comparative narrative in Bai Xianyong's fiction is a crucial aspect of his narrative structure.It can be categorized into two types based on complexity:(1)Singular comparative narrative,which contrasts two in-dividuals at different life stages or perspectives of protagonists;(2)Systematic comparative narrative,which con-trasts characters across different stages of the novel or from various social strata,constructing a complex and com-prehensive narrative system.The comparative narration in Bai Xianyong's works exemplifies the application of tradi-tional Chinese dualistic aesthetic concepts in modern fictional narratives and serves as an effective strategy for ex-pressing themes of historical changes and the capriciousness of fate in his novels.
