The ancient Greek philosopher Zhi Nuo believed that "the purpose of life is to live in harmony with nature". The harmonious coexistence between man and nature is a natural ecological realm that Shen Congwen persistently pursues in his creation. Therefore, in Border Town, the author tries his best to create a natural ecological world full of vigor and vitality, and shows readers a wonderful realm where people and scenery complement each other and people and nature have merged together. It reads like an idyllic poem, melodious and wonderful. In Shen Congwen's works, nature is endowed with spirituality, human-like personality and the ability to perceive the world around him. The bamboo forest near home has become the object for Cui Cui to confide in her inner secrets, as well as a refuge for her emotions and a place for her soul to be comforted. There are also the ferry, yellow dog and white tower behind the house, which have gone through many vicissitudes. The above is my appreciation of the opening part of the essay "Border Town" on modern and contemporary literary trends. It is written from the philosophical implication embodied in Border Town, and I hope it will help you.
