The Fission and Thinking of Rural China——Based on the Writing of Local-color China in The Shaanxi Opera
With its detailed and extensive rural vision,and the traditional art of Qinqiang Opera in North-west China as the clue,Jia Pingwa's The Shaanxi Opera reveals the impact of market economy and modern civili-zation on contemporary Chinese rural areas.Everything traditional is undergoing fission.Behind this series of changes is worth pondering:how will China's rural areas develop in the transition period?Will they decline from now on,or will they be reborn after experiencing the phoenix nirvana?Through the reflection of the reality of Chinese rural society in The Shaanxi Opera,the change of the turn of the century is deeply analyzed from four aspects:traditional ethics,rural culture,farmers'relationship with land,and farmers'structure.The change of the countryside is examined from the perspective of literature,reflecting the reality of contemporary social devel-opment,and arousing people's thinking about social change.
