Politicization of Literature and Symbolic Construction:The Yellow River Writing in Modern Poetry
The writing of the Yellow River in modern poetry presents new phenomena,new concepts,and new spirits that are differ-ent from ancient writing.From the perspective of aesthetic orientation,sweeping away the delicate state of the previous dynas-ty,it reveals a majestic aesthetic interest and showcases the creative consciousness of a generation of scholars who are self-dominated.Faced with the frequent disasters of the Yellow River in modern times and the weakening of the Qing Dynasty's river governance system,cultural elites have revealed practical problems,explored governance strategies,integrated political feelings and change concepts into the writing of the Yellow River,and demonstrated the creative spirit of literary politicization.Based on the historical background of the spread of Western influences to the East and the survival of the nation,they used the Yellow River to write their ambition to save the country,patriotic enthusiasm,and Chinese confidence,promoting the con-struction of the Yellow River as a cultural symbol,and demonstrating the spiritual value of the Yellow River civilization.The modern Yellow River poetry has effectively expanded the subject matter content of literature,reflecting the political interven-tion and cultural construction of the Yellow River writing in the context of modern times,and expressing the ideological guid-ance,spiritual orientation,and aesthetic choices of Chinese intellectuals in the modern context.
