& lt& lt Bailuyuan >> Abstract

"White Deer Plain" takes Bai Jiaxuan as the narrative core, and the two white deer families organize the plot with contradictions and entanglements. It reflects the patriarchal clan system and Confucian ethics represented by Bai Jiaxuan, and tells the story between the Baijia and Lujia families in Bailuyuan village with the change of the times and the persistence and decline in political movements as narrative clues.

The root-seeking theme of the extended material "White Deer Plain" is mainly the root-seeking of spirit and soul. It wrote the essence of Confucian culture with the spiritual pursuit of "truth", and publicized the profound value of China culture and expressed its concept of "seeking roots" through the description of characters in the text. The author's root-seeking thinking does not stop at the root of culture with the pursuit of moral personality as the core, but further reveals the tragedy of human existence displayed by traditional culture.

Under the cultural background of Guanzhong people's existence, Bailuyuan launched a series of character activities. Through vivid characters, it reflects the crude and simple customs in rural areas and the Confucian spirit of being cautious and forbearing.

There are also many objections to the theme researchers of cultural root-seeking in Bailuyuan, because the author highlights the true face of folk history as much as possible in Bailuyuan, profiles the trend of China's contemporary literature, and also has the significance of new historicism novels.

For this theme, some people think that Chen Yi's novel White Deer Plain not only sets an insurmountable peak for himself, but also sets an insurmountable hurdle for China's contemporary realistic literary creation. In the exhibition of life scenes of Guanzhong people, Bailuyuan shows a strong intention to reconstruct the history of regional cultural development through the language and behavior of characters.

Generally speaking, the research on the theme of White Deer Plain by Chen, especially in recent years, has tended to the viewpoint that multiple themes coexist. The White Deer Plain keeps the history chaotic and rich, which makes this historical novel with sensibility and individualism as the main line not only a history of ups and downs of family history, customs history and personal destiny, but also a condensed history of national destiny and soul.
