The life time reflected in White Deer Plain spans more than half a century from the end of Qing Dynasty to the beginning of liberation, and it also involves a longer period after liberation.
My general feeling is that this novel is permeated with China's traditional culture, such as the dominant Confucianism, the metaphysics of life and the mysterious power, the karma of the characters' fate and so on.
Of course, this is also a realistic novel, which profoundly and truly reflects the historical changes of that era and society.
In his works, the writer narrated the remote legend about the white deer.
Legends are beautiful, charming and somewhat mysterious, even reflecting the writer's personality ideal, which runs through the works.
White deer is a symbol of all kinds of beautiful things, and as a specific geographical existence, White Deer Plain has its high shore near the water, and its upper part is flat and winding, gradually rising to the foot of the southern mountain. This geographical existence is much longer than the legend of White Deer and the name of White Deer Plain.
But the legend of White Deer is a kind of culture, so the name of White Deer in ancient times has obvious regional cultural nature.
Of course, as a carrier or symbol of regional culture, White Deer contains not only the image of White Deer, but more importantly, the traditions, customs, psychology, way of life and way of thinking formed by people born and raised in Sri Lanka in all their activities.
Bai Jiaxuan, Mr. Zhu, a wise man, Lu Sanhe, a long-term laborer, Heiwa, a bandit, Mr. Leng, a doctor, and even Tian Xiaoe, who is strong and bad karma, can all make in-depth analysis from the perspective of regional culture.
among these figures, Mr. Zhu seems to be the most easily explained from the perspective of regional culture.
First, he has the identity of a literate person, is the spiritual mentor of Bai Jiaxuan and Heiwa, and plays a real godfather role in people's minds; Second, the writer clearly put forward his academic accomplishment and knowledge background as a descendant of Guan Xue.
when analyzing the typical significance and cultural value of this character, Wang Zhongsheng not only made necessary comments on his general situation as a rural intellectual who changed from the last days of the feudal era to the semi-feudal era, but also made a few remarks on the academic background of Old Master Q, who is half a wise man and half a saint.
Bailuyuan is located in the abdomen of the hometown of Zhou and Qin Dynasties. This area is the main birthplace and cradle of China's brilliant agricultural civilization, and it is also the center of this civilization in its heyday.
This area is located in the northern part of China, with deep water and thick soil, and a continental climate. The rainfall is not abundant, and the production conditions are relatively difficult. Therefore, since ancient times, the folk customs have been honest and honest, which is also very obvious in literature. Just compare Qin Feng and Qi Feng in the Book of Songs with The Songs of the South, and it will be quite clear.
It is precisely because of this down-to-earth cultural tradition that it has a long history.
Bailu Village, located on the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi, China, is a ceremonial village with a long history and is known as benevolence and righteousness.
Two families, Bai and Lu, have lived and multiplied here for generations. With the changes of the times, the two families and all kinds of people around them have been entangled in endless intrigue and struggle for wealth, power, profit and desire for food and clothing, honor, glory and feng shui.
With delicate and deep brushstrokes, the author depicts the tragicomedy of the fate of a group of different typical protagonists, vividly, vividly and thickly reflecting a corner of the tragic secret history of the nation.
This is a magnificent epic of the 5-year changes in the Weihe Plain, a colorful and shocking long scroll of China countryside.
The protagonist has six marriages and six funerals, and the mysterious overture indicates ominous.
Two generations of descendants of a family fought for the rule of Bailuyuan from generation to generation, and staged thrilling dramas. Clever geomantic omen, evil honey trap, dutiful son as a bandit, pro-Weng killing his daughter-in-law, brothers frying each other, lovers turning against each other ... Great Revolution, Japanese invasion, three-year civil war, white deer plain having sex, changing the flag, family feud and national hatred, intertwined, and grievances are constantly reported from generation to generation ... The ancient land shivers in the throes of new life
White Deer Plain. Like Lu Zhaopeng's family, the daughter-in-law of Lu Zhaopeng died so pitifully and horribly. Like Lu Zilin's death in the end, it was so timid that everything seemed to be a causal fate.
I have read novels recently, so to speak, I have been deeply touched by reading White Deer Plain, and I have learned a lot from it. The topic of death in the novel is only one of the most important aspects that I feel deeply!
