The"spirit"of sound——Exploring the"awakening function"of sound in Chi Zijian's novels
Throughout her forty years long novel creation,Chi Zijian has consistently employed sound as a narrative element,from Fairy Tales of Arctic Village to The Wheel of Crushing Armor Bones.Chi Zijian captures various sounds of nature and the human world with delicate brushstrokes,outlining the face of nature,folk culture and history.This not only helps to construct a poetic atmosphere,imagery,and the-matic meaning in the novel,but also encompasses the author's unique sensory structure towards the out-side world.Voice carries the memories of individuals,families and nations,reaching deep into the hearts of readers and resonating with them.
