Shen Congwen and Wang Yuewen are popular writers from Xiangxi Hunan , and Biancheng and Manshui are their famous works which are set in their hometown . These two novels partly represent the achievement of local novels of modern Chinese literature and Chinese contemporary literature . Biancheng and Manshui both are named after the places , poetic language is adopted , and both show the local conditions and customs by describing the life of small people . For the style of writing , Wang inherits the"paradise" patterns of Shen , revealing the processing of paradise , paradise-losing and rebuilding paradise . And the narrative strategy of these two novels are similar in some ways , such as poetic pursuing , humanity describing and the rebuilding of national features . But Wang is different in some aspects from Shen , such as the standing point , the viewpoint , and the emotional attitude of the writer . Considering the characteristics of these two works , we can understand better the relation and development of local novels of modern Chinese literature and Chinese contemporary literature from writing theme to writing style by comparing these two pieces of work .
