On the Change and Significance of the Concept of Nature in Chen Yan's Novels
In terms of literary geography,the worlds opened up in Chen Yan's novels can be discussed in the broader context of the Qinling Narrative.However,as the"Qinling"has deep geographical,cultural,and spiritual connotations,the center of significance is not the same in different works.In"Tales of the Western Capital",Luo Tianfu's family lives in Tayun Mountain,which is far away from the city,has beau-tiful scenery,and holds important spiritual connotations,while it is a place that the protagonist can look at from far away,it is difficult for them to live in it.The countryside of Zhen'an,as narrated in"Zhuang Tai",has the same significance for Han Mei.The dichotomy between urban and rural areas is quite distinct."Zhu Jue"has a broader vision,from Ningzhou to Qin Province,not only expanding the geographical space,but also enriching the significance of the Qinling Mountains as the character's spiritual reference,as well as giving it more cultural spiritual connotations.As for the new work"The Starry Sky and Half a Tree",the new possibilities opened up by the interaction between"human resources"and"nature"have already bro-ken the stereotypes of urban-rural binary structure thinking,and contain the important contents of the prac-tice of rural socialism in the new era.The change in Chen Yan's concept of nature from"inside the world"to"inside the nature"is an important symbol of the extremely complex issues of the times and reality,which can be far from being summarized by the adjustment of literary concepts.
