New rural narrative:A national fable returning to the noumenon of life—A comprehensive discussion on Luo Weizhang's"Trilogy of the Earthly World"
Since the new age,traditional rural concepts have faced changes and rebirth,and Luo Weizhang's creation reflects the changing atmosphere of the times and integrates individual psychoanalysis and metaphysical philosophical thinking into the replication of mountain village memories,hence providing a typical example of new rural narrative.The"Trilogy of the Earthly World"composed of The History of Sound,The History of Silence,and The History of Secrets,focuses on the experience of new rural areas in the new age,introducing elements of ultra local culture and avant-garde expression,surpassing the Enlightenment model of binary opposition of"local literature",and breaking the label of"grassroots literature"in the past.On the one hand,the writer focuses on the daily life experiences in rural areas,connecting individual experiences,ethnic traditions,and human collective experiences through the fictional connection of"plant characteristics",expanding from realistic village narratives to ethnic fable style writing.On the other hand,in rural writing,the writer adheres to the theory of emotions and scenery which is blended with the pantheism that all things have spirits,adheres to the concept of equality of life,and constructs a narrative system with a rich sense of life.As a result,he has opened up a new spiritual path between rural imagination and ethnic fables.
