Literary interpretation of historical and meditation narrative

——Essment Lu Xiaotian's little novel creation

□ Liu Haitao

Little novel writer Lu Xiaotian concentrated in six small novels including "Wu Zetian's Game" and "The Secret Past of Wanmu Cottage", and concentrated the artistic exploration of innovative experimental properties of the three types of novels. The real novel reflects the reform of the reform life represents; first, the historical novels of major events and characters represented by "Life and Death"; there is also a category of Zen Si Xiaosi with the theme of "attracting people". novel. His award -winning work "A Fish Thorn" was selected into the textbooks of large and middle schools. I have already discussed in other special review articles. Here I focus on his historical novels and Zen Si novels.

1. The kernel and interpretation of the story of the historical novel

The innovation exploration of Lu Xiaotian's historical novels has touched a hardcore issue of this type of novel creation -how does the historical authenticity and artistic appeal of historical novels realized and how to unify the artistic appeal? After reading a batch of works of Lu Xiaotian, he felt that he had made an excellent answer. His historical novels have a hard and solid story core. Unlike the core of the reality novels: the truth of the major historical events and the fate of important historical figures are the main content of the story. It is true, in line with the records of historical classics, and can be recognized by the academic community. When Lu Xiaotian refined the core of the historical story as the core plot of the novel, and evolved into a historical novel with a unique narrative method unique to the novel, this evolution was completely fictional of the literary unique literature of the small novel. The core of historical stories is real, and the plot of historical stories is imagined and fictional. We can consolidate this impression in the analysis and evaluation of the following works.

"Wu Zetian's Game" describes Wu Zetian's virtual as the first person, describing how "I" defeated the series of political opponents and achieved the emperor's dominance in the power dispute of the court. The content of the core of this story is Wu Zetian's real political destiny. The event involved was the replacement of the highest power of the Tang Dynasty in 1400. The final ending of people and things was real, and it could stand the history of the historian community. How does this core involving many historical real events in the art form of small novels show literary narrative? The writer used Wu Zetian's "playing game" personalized character language, and stunned Wu Zetian's four major historical events before the power of power: she used the "game" of her 1 -year -old daughter with a sulk, marrying the queen, Xiao Shufei ; She played the "game" to split the mutiny alliance of King Luo Bin and Li Jingye; she "game" like a "game" in the winter of all flowers to go to the banquet to enjoy the flowers, and the flowers cultivated by the fancy craftsmen have become her consolidation of power to consolidate power. Political props; she "played" the eldest Sun Wuji and Yang Zhirou, forcing them to "return to the old hometown" ... 4 historical events were evolved into the narrative details of historical novels through art imagination and fiction, and used the "game". The keywords are connected in series, which properly represents a way of writing Lu Xiaotian's historical novels: the core of the historical story is true, and it can stand the authenticity of the fate and historical events that can stand the historical circles. In the fission and derivation of the kernel of this story, a major historical event that revolves around the kernel is transformed into the narrative details of historical novels. This is the basic idea of ​​Lu Xiaotian's historical novel. This is also an important means to realize the readability, artistry, and the charm of the work.

"Life and Death" has shaped a younger generation of famous star Huo Qubing, who has heard the younger generation of the Huns of the Huns. But the general did not appear from beginning to end in this historical novel. The writer used the side writing method to shape the characters. What shows this side writing method is to start fiction from the real story kernel, and uses a typical small novel "Folding+Slimming" model to structural plot. The story is to start with the middle of the war: the traitor, Wei Zhong, who was sick, ran to the Hungarian Marshal Hu Hanwu Yang's account. At this time, Hu Han Wuyang was drinking boring in his account. Fate: He brought 200,000 soldiers with a night attack of only 80,000 soldiers. As a result, Huo Qubing caused him to damage 10,000 people. At this moment, the information passed by Wei Zhong was: Huo Qubing died of illness. Attacking the Han Ying, but at this moment, Huo went to the disease and suddenly killed it, which caused Hu Hanwu Yang to damage more than 8,000 people; Hu Han Wuyang chopped Wei Zhong and heard that the Han army had withdrawn it. The soldiers were 5,000; the details of the climax were broken: Huo Qubing's disease was indeed the night of the night of the snow. Before he died, he arranged a strategy of withdrawal of the withdrawal and let a vice general who looked like him pretended to him. Hu Han Wuyang was amazed: I did not have his opponent with a dead person. Huo Qubing was really a little general. The narrative vision of this historical novel comes from Hu Han Wuyang: After the "folding plot" explains the first confrontation of 200,000 pairs of 80,000; then the development details (1) are the second confrontation of 8,000 soldiers; The third confrontation of 5,000 soldiers; the climax details were "jumping plots": Huo Qubing's illness really died of illness; after the truth of the story was decrypted, Hu Han Wuyang lamented that he could not fight with a dead person. Huo Qubing did not appear in this work, because it was written on the side, the character image left a greater room for imagination for readers. The plot structure designed by the writer is a novel-style "folding+jump". The historical story of a linear narrative "1-2-3-4-5" is transformed into "3-1-4-5-2" Famous novel plot. From this point of view, the core of real historical stories (Huo Qubing was a young star who was anti -Hungary in the Han Dynasty). After imagination and fiction, it was artificially transformed into a typical small novel plot. The perspective to write the disease on the side, and its imagination of fictional creative space has greatly expanded. Therefore, the history of this small novel is true, and the historical figures of small novels are written on the side, and the plot model of the novel is typical. "Novel -style", this is the basic form of Lu Xiaotian's historical novel and successful writing. Second, the structural model and creative method of historical novels

The typical form of historical novels embodied such as "Reconstruction Story+Fictional Plot details" has been fully confirmed in "Xue Qiongfu Zheng". This work wrote a elopement of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. Lu Xiaotian explained at the end of the work the source of this historical novel story: "The first volume of" Shi Guang Ji "" Li Qing Collection "records: Xue Qiong, Benliang's daughter, selected into the palace, and the first one for the teaching workshop. In the zither, Xuanzong Tianbao thirteen years off the Changan east gate of Changan, which is suitable for Cui Huaibao to see. Xunyue eloped. In the incident, Xingyu said, forgive his sin, and he was specially given Huai Bao's wife. "This paragraph is about character love." The simple record of fate can be regarded as a core of the story, which can be used to expand literary narratives with short and medium and short stories, but when we use the style and form of historical novels to express it, what kind of style it will have What about form?

The story starts directly from the palace maid Xue Qiong and Jingnan Siji Cui Huaibao on the road of elopement. This elopement scene has the affectionate conversation, action, and a brief description of the cold spring night. The next thing is that the cause of the legendary story must be "folded" in. This retrospective is folded into 5 development details: folding (1) was Xue Qiong who followed the master of Miao Yan at Yunzhen Temple in Huzhou at the age of 10; folded (2) It was Xue Qiong Ruquan's zheng sound moved to Huzhou City's flowers and thieves Wang Jinfa to "wash your hands"; folding (3) is Xue Qiong's "Sword and Xiao Xing" that let the knight Miao Miao Zhengfeng "turn back to the shore"; 4 ) It was a 15 -year -old Xue Qiong's "Heroes" moved Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. She was called into the Tangshen Palace of Datang to become the "first zheng player in the teaching workshop"; folding (5) is the loneliness in the deep palace Xue Qiong met Cui Huaibao when playing "Eight Sound Ganzhou", and the two thoughts of hobing. As soon as the five retrospective development details were over, the elopement scene was continued to connect the story at the beginning of the story. Original details: Xue Qiong asked Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuluan to play a "Yan Tufei" before his sentence. The concubine moved to Xuanzong Kai En, so Xuanzong was amnesty to give them a loving couple. Looking back on the whole article, a few summary of the summary of the figures of the character and the fate of the characters do contain the huge historical capacity and the space for the fate of the characters, but Lu Xiaotian chose the style of the historical story to derive the core of this historical story. He imagined and fictional plot materials are Xue Qiong's five times in his life, playing specific guzheng tracks such as "Lao Yanfei" and "Heroes". Details of small novels that are closely linked to fate.

When Lu Xiaotian combined these five fictional small novel details, he adopted the "Folding+Slimming" structural model unique to the novel. The vertex of the fate of the character. The story tells from the middle that this is commonly used by small novels to seize readers' eyeballs and reading attention in the shortest time; and according to historical core facts, imagination and fictional personality and fate related to the character of character and destiny The details of the novel, use a "oblique development" plot chain to use the novels of these fictional plot materials, and use the unique structure of novels to combine the fictional small novel materials according to the conceptual map of the work story plot. This creative process once again proves that the style and creative method of Lu Xiaotian's historical novels are: discovering and refining the true story core in historical materials, using the idea of ​​historical novels to transform fictional historical events into the detail chain of small novels into the details of the novels of the novels. The group, through the unique structural model of small novels, structured the details of the small novels of the novels according to the literary and creative structure of the idea. This is the narrative method and structural form of Lu Xiaotian's historical novels. Lu Xiaotian once rationally expressed his historical novels he understood: "Opening Chinese literary history, literature and history, novels, novels, and history are constantly linked. In the masterpieces of" Zuo Zhuan "and" Historical Records ", you can see Some interesting fragments similar to novels are because the authors of these historical books are often virtual or drawn on some vivid historical scenes. Therefore, it is generally called "historical poetry". " Hou Wenxin Publishing House).

This judgment most clearly proves the basic creative method of historical novels from the theoretical theory. "Historical Books Poetry Heart" is launched, which is your historical event and historical figures that must have a "historical" real character; "Poetry Heart" is a specific method of "fiction or substitution" with fictional methods of literature. Scenes, fictional historical events and characters related to characters, imagine the plot chain and details of the novel. This is the basic concept and method of Lu Xiaotian's historical novels.

Third, the text creativity and character image of Zen Si Novels

There is also his Zen Si novel with Lu Xiaotian's historical novels. In addition to the text form of the text, it still has the stylistic advantages of small novels, and the literary creativity of Zen Si novel is the main perspective of the creation of small novels such as Lu Xiaotian.

Lu Xiaotian studied Buddhist culture with his own unique perception. He believes that "the essence of all Buddhism is summarized by the psychology of" being kind (treating people, animals, and nature). "(Quoted from the reporter of the reporter 12 in December 2019" Foshan Literature and Art ". He asked in more than a hundred Zen Si novels such as" Shuangfeng Temple Legend "and" Blessings to Send ". Efforts to express the good qualities of the fun, benevolence, willingness, willingness, filial piety, tolerance, compassion, etc. to the Buddhist in the world. The motivation, this is: praise the truth, goodness and beauty, calling for the love and tolerance of the world. This kind of Zen novel creativity can not only promote people to wake up, but also purify people's hearts. What are the more than 100 Zen novels of Lu Xiaotian? Innovative exploration is worthy of affirmation and summary?

"Blessings that can't be given out" uses a classic little novel -style "reversing slope" story plot implicitly revealing a basic Zen that must be good with others. Master Xifu of Laifu Temple sent disciples to send Xiangfu to the people, and Xu Shui came to the richest man's home in Fengcheng. Fu; Xu Shui went to the poorest villagers in the north of the city, Xilian's house. Xilian was in trouble because of her husband's violence. Master Xifu ordered Xu Shui to send it for the second time, and Xu Shui came to the country again. He Youguo gave him three or two silver; he came to Xilian's house for the second time and sent him He Youguo to send him at will. Three or two silver gave Xilian, who was in despair in life; after the Xilian family passed the difficulties, the Xiangfu sent the virtual water to He Youguo to thank him for his grace. When he came to the villagers who watched the drama in Heyou, he saw that the reputation of He Guoshan walked down in Fengcheng. At this moment, He Youguo donated hundreds of silver to Laifu Temple on the one hand, and on the other hand, he continued to help Xilian's family out of trouble. In summary of the running trajectory of this story plot, you can see such a small novel plot model: after the reversal plot of one righteousness and one, there are three consecutive inclined plots to promote the promotion of "goodwill" on earth and continuously do continuously Three oblique enlargement, so that the literary and creativity that changes music to change interpersonal relationships and promotes people and promotes people to do good deeds in this complete little novel mode. This is that the theme of Zen Si does not need to be directly broken in the work, but implies literary creativity through the "reversing oblique" plot model unique to small novels.

In "The Reincarnation of Life and Death of Deer", the writer tells the tragedy of huntering and drinking his blood through the perspective of a young deer. When he was on his head, the young deer blocked Qian Wan's arrows of the enemy. Qian Wan has since regarded deer as a deer. Buy back release. The ending of the story reflects the idea of ​​Lu Xiaotian's concept of Zen Si Novels. His theme of his Zen Si chooses a positive component of life and refined the fascinating intentions. The blessing of going out is to be kind to others; and like "The Reincarnation of Life and Death of Deer", it is kind to animals; and like "Dragon Gai Temple's Fine Flying Club", treating it well The precious old tea old tree is treating nature well. This prominent connotation of "attracting goodness" in the teachings of Buddhism is the most positive significance in the literary and creativity of Lu Xiaotian's Zen novel. Lu Xiaotian's literary creativity in the batch of novels reflects positive energy relies on the wonderful novel stories and lively novel characters.

There is an exciting story of the heart -stringing master of Buddhism and the wisdom of the secular businessman in "Fire Burning Changping Temple". Open the reader's mind window through a "jump+full -point" determination. Fengcheng's Shangba Shang Wan Zhen wanted to force Changping Temple to move into the mountains and free up the land for him to make a downtown shop; Master Changyuan ignited the temple and wake up the people's resistance and resistance to Shang Wanzhen with the sacrifice of the Buddhist house. Essence At the end of the work, by describing Master Changyuan's kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, he repented before the truth of the two fires "jumped" and finally opened the suspense. This is a typical structural model that best reflects the style charm of small novels. Relying on a good little novel story, the positive creativity of Lu Xiaotian Zen Si Novels is easy to understand and accept for readers.

In addition to good stories, Lu Xiaotian's Zen Si novels show a positive and positive Zen creativity by shaping a batch of lively and upright "Buddhist masters". There is a master of virtue in "Invincible in the World". When facing the plaque of the "Invincible World" of Kangxi's handwriting, he was abnormal and unexpectedly gave out the plaque. The big knife door and the Golden Bamboo Gang fell into a river to fight for the plaque. Finally, the plaque was sent back to the Master of Chongwu Temple. The real heritage of the story is the shaping of characters "from abnormal to normal" by Master Deyuan.

The image of a masters shaped in "The Legend of Shuangfeng Temple" can be said to be the essence and typical of the teachings of Buddhism. Aesthetic cases. The plot model of the combination of the material in the work is still a "oblique rising reversal" unique to small novels. In a 500 -year -old Two -Peng Temple, the host Laughing Master Lei could not stick to the temple rules of "only two people". The rich Hai Wanfu came up with a huge sum of money to go to Shuangfeng Temple to take a practice, and was rejected by Master Laughing; the middle -aged man who had missed Caiba came to Shuangfeng Temple and wanted to "enter the empty door" to avoid chase and laugh. After the master accepted him, he told his disciples to be a monk for the rest of the mountain. The third time Zhang Tufu who sold meat on the street also killed the Han Tufu who had lost his mouth. This time, Master Xiaozi went down the mountain to be a monk, so that the entire temple guarded the "two -person pattern" temple rules; the end of the climax was reversed. Hai Wanfu was deeply touched by this. He invited the Master Laughing and reconstructed the Shuangfeng Temple. Master Xiaoyi finally broke the unique and abnormal manner of Master Xiaoyi with the unique abnormality of the "temple rules" with the "Master of the Faith, and the Guardians". This character's image highly summarizes the basic characteristics of Buddhist image, and this literary creativity profoundly shows the basic connotation of Zen narrative. The reason why Buddhism has more believers in Chinese land is because he pays attention to life, adheres to the precepts, so that ordinary people can understand, can do it, and keep it, so the precepts of positive value in the entire Buddhist science can be spread.

The most valuable part of Lu Xiaotian, the most valuable part of Zen Si novels, is to use the wonderful little novel story form and the vivid and vivid image of Buddhist masters to make the connotation of the positive value of "good" in the teachings of Buddhism. Specific figures to show and interpret. The characters of Zen novels such as Master Laughing Master, Master Deyuan, Master Changyuan, etc. have become the specific incarnation of the teachings of Buddhism. Truely created a Buddhist window that cares about life, reviews the world, and teaches people to be good, and establishes a Buddhist image of a novel that can be learned and studied.

Fourth, the narrative method and determination technique of the novel of the novel of Zen Si

Lu Xiaotian's novels have formed their creative personality and artistic characteristics in good stories, good characters, and good ideas. There are two points worthy of our attention and summary in terms of story narrative skills:

From historical novels to Zen Si novels, Lu Xiaotian's first -person story describes the "I" among the people. It is not all in real life. There are quite a lot of specific "things" in the world. The storyteller in "The Reincarnation of a Deer" is the "Little Deer"; the storyteller in the story of the "Red Rabbit Horse Running Three Kingdoms" is the "horse"; The mouth of a small bass tells the life and death of the fish with people; the storyteller in the story of the "Blue Tower Woman Wang Cuidao's Return Soul Soul" is the backbone sword that can protect Huang Cuidao; "Death" uses a horse's tone to tell the story ... Use a life -free item as a storytelling person, and there will be many innovations in the perspective of narrative perspectives that surpass people. Lu Xiaotian said in the creative talk of "The Secret Past of Wanmu Caotang": "The protagonist of all works of this book is not a traditional sense, but a scene and something, a knife, a sword, a house, a seat, a seat The temple and a tree are the protagonists in the novel. I call this novel "a new perspective of view of the view of the view of the view of the view". It can bring useful thinking and inspiration to today's people. Power of power is unlimited, and the sword is still easy to count. In the historical sky, everyone is a passerby. From a historical perspective, through the view of the scene, we are viewed by the scene, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we are viewed. It will live a better way to find a better way to survive. "Lu Xiaotian's narrative perspective shifted from the" he "of the third person to the first -person" thing ". The programming narrative, he boldly creatively handed the narrative perspective to the objective existence, in fact, it also shows that he observes and experiences real life and everything, his vision has been greatly expanded, and his soul has been fully free. At this time The experience and expression of life have reached an innovative step and peak. The text he created by the zen novels is full of a huge creative space, and the art world expressed in Zen novels is harmonious. Lu Xiaotian's narrative method of Zen Si novel has an obvious characteristic: its end of its chapter often allows the protagonist of the work to tell the golden sentence of the Zen and the creativity of the work. In "Thirteen Hands of Plum Blossoms", Zen Master Meilong defeated General Long Yilong and Four Tigers: "The world is big, the people's hearts are big. The world is the strongest, and the kindness is strong." This golden sentence broke the Buddhist Buddhism of this work "to treat others with goodness", and also sublimated the martial arts realm of Master Meilong. In "A Life and Death Reincarnation", Master Duyuan finally watched the deer after being released, "Six -degree reincarnation, all beings are equal. People are like deer, deer like people." It also expresses the basic doctrine of pursuing truth, kindness, beauty in Buddhism. The master of the Yuande in "Invincible in the World" faced the fame on the rivers and lakes, and finally said: "Let go of hatred and turn the enemy into friends. The real invincibility is that there is no enemy in your heart." Such a golden sentence is the most concise. Correte, and the "tolerance" pursued by Buddhism most, it is clear and thorough. Master Yuande also used his own image and his stories to make the most vivid footnote of the Zen of Buddhism. Through the character's golden -style language, to break the literary creativity of this work, summarize and promote some of the Buddhist knowledge of Buddhism with positive value. The creative laws and methods of small novels provide a vivid successful case.

Fifth, the shape and innovation of the type of character and style

The overall creation of Lu Xiaotian's historical novels and the overall creation of Zen Si novels can obtain such a macro impression: Lu Xiaotian's creation of these two types of styles has his own sober and systematic sense of style and creative concept. He is good at using the unique ideas and storytelling methods of small novels, shaping a group of lively historical figures, adopting a refined little novel plot model, and vividly telling wonderful historical and meditating little novel stories; in characters, In the process of plotting the literary and exquisiteness of the circumstances, the literary and creativity of the mainstream values ​​of socialism in the image of historical figures and Buddhist figures is pursuing the image of historical figures and Buddhist characters.

A suggestion to Lu Xiaotian's little novel creation: The small sayings of historical figures and masters of Buddhism can have more consciousness of pursuit. Heroes in Chinese history like Huo Qubing; the front and typical typical Buddhist world like Master Deyuan; animal images such as "deer" and "fish" can transmit the truth of life ... can be used by the concept of "group" to use the concept of "group" to use the concept of "group" to use the concept of "group" to use the concept of "group" to use Create them and gather them. Almost all of them have distinctive personality and creative foundation that implies the meaning of the times. They should not be a lonely person and some people. They are the "series image" brought by a "group". Essence Therefore, I hope that Lu Xiaotian's macro planning and deep learning, use the typical "group" and series images of small novel characters to support their style and physical concepts and pursuit of consciousness. Gradually, the type of small novels that are gradually growing and growing. A small novel writer's innovative literary contribution is that he has created a type of style of a novel through a series of characters and wonderful stories. This requires Lu Xiaotian's resilience persistence and in -depth innovation, and Lu Xiaotian constantly summarizes his creative experience. With the large number of collections of vivid historical figures and Buddhist characters, he clearly shows the specific types of historical novels and Zen novels. Existence and aesthetic charm, this is a sustainable and severe test for Lu Xiaotian's physical strength and reading and writing ability. Originally contained in "Foshan Literature", No. 9, 2022
