Jia Pingwa's"biography of Qinling"and Chinese narrative—Centering on Lao Sheng,Shan Ben,and Qinling Chronicles
From Lao Sheng in 2014 to Shan Ben in 2018 and then to Qinling Chronicles in 2022,Jia Pingwa's works increasingly exhibit the characteristics of"biography of the Qinling".From the aspects of geography,products,customs,and characters,Jia Pingwa successfully constructed a new literary region centering around the Qinling Mountains,shaping the Qinling Chronicles.Apart from the two"literary hometowns"of"Shangzhou"and"Xijing City",Jia Pingwa successfully created a new literary region centering around the Qinling Mountains.The three works reflect Jia Pingwa's reference and innovation in the form and content of Chinese classical culture.By writing about local literature and history,writers have achieved the miniaturization of novels and used it to reflect on the entire history of China,but there are also omissions in the writing process.In the process of writing local chronicles,Jia Pingwa formed an invisible mapping relationship of"local-state"through multiple constructions of"geography","history",and"literature".The author uses"the Qinling Mountains"as a metaphor for China,and through the innovative writing of the Qinling Mountains,they have completed the new era of telling Chinese stories.
