The Classical Paths of Folk Ethics Writing in Local Narration——Based on the Comparison between Red Sorghum Family and Border Town
Different local narrative approaches reflect the unique and different folk narrative ethics in Mo Yan and Shen Congwen's novels.Mo Yan's admiration for the folk roots of survival ethics is always based on reality criticism.In Red Sorghum Family,the past in the sense of time constitutes the spiritual source of a new ethical order.On the premise of suppressing the tragic factors in reality,Shen Congwen's imagination of hu-man feelings and love in Border Town vaguely reveals a kind of intellectual compassion in the recognition of the eternal beauty of the past.However,the ethical situation created by the"past"in Border Town potentially leads readers to the void of ethical judgment.At the level of folk ethics writing in Chinese literature in the 20th century,the two approaches are representative and far-reaching.
