20101June 19, a seminar on Liu Ren's former works sponsored by Jiangsu Writers Association, Poetics Research Center of Nanjing University of Science and Technology and Taizhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles was held in Nanjing. Party Secretary and Chairman of Jiangsu Writers Association, Zhang, Secretary of the Secretariat of Jiangsu Writers Association, and members of Jiangsu Writers Association attended the meeting. Zhu Xiaoru, Huang Fayou, Zhang, Zhonghua, Jiang Guangping, He Ping, Zhang Zonggang, Huang Fan, Zhang and other more than 20 critics, writers and poets from all over the country attended the meeting. Participants believed that Xianghe reflected the rich local customs and customs of He Lixia in northern Jiangsu in a personalized and panoramic way, vividly reproduced such a special regional culture intertwined with warmth and melancholy, and showed good texture and poetic character, which caused great repercussions after its publication. Experts and scholars attending the meeting fully affirmed the aesthetic connotation, cultural significance and folk value of Xianghe from the aspects of language, structure and plot.
At the symposium, Fan Xiaoqing pointed out that Liu was an important writer in the "Xinghua Writers Group" that rose in recent years. His masterpiece "Xianghe" depicts the folk customs and life stories of the water towns in the middle of Jiangsu with delicate and lyrical brushstrokes, just like a Qingming Riverside Map with strong regional culture. Although it is an amateur creation, it shows the true nature of a master. Zhang discussed the distinctive water features and local flavor of his early works, and affirmed the "Xinghua literature phenomenon" as a whole. Wang Zheng believes that there is no Xianghe without language, and dialects have ontological significance for writing, not just rhetorical significance. Xianghe boldly wrote in dialect, showing the past society, villages and so on. , showing the distinct beauty of human nature and customs, and the current so-called customs are often artistic and conceptual, not far from death. Huang Fayou believes that "Xianghe" has a strong sense of picture, like a slowly unfolding custom picture scroll. The novel has a certain transcendence of the times and invested the author's unique thinking, but it still lacks the deeper observation like Faulkner and Marquez. Zhang pointed out that, unlike the aestheticism of Shen Congwen's Border Town and the misery of Xiao Hong's Life and Death Field, Xianghe is closer to Han Shaogong's Maqiao Dictionary, which pays attention to folk logic and has a unique narrative style. Liu's narrative is calm and natural, but it lacks due criticism and expectation. Jiang Guangping pointed out that Liu is the inheritor and watcher of the local world. For decades, "Xianghe" has become an important symbol of Liu. He is the writer of Xianghe, and also the memory and collector of Xianghe. Liu patiently wrote about the struggle of human nature and the agitation of Xianghe people's fate, showing the best literary quality.
Zhang Zonggang pointed out that Liu's novels show vigorous, wild and free vitality, exude romantic feelings of "thinking innocently" and original ecological beauty, and show a gratifying chaos, self-sufficiency and harmony. Liu's prose, such as Guapeng Manbi, still uses popular language, and the overall feeling is relatively dull; In Liu's novel Xianghe, he really found his own literary spirit and sense of language. He let go of the "minority language" and boldly wrote in dialects, but he showed a broad atmosphere and pattern, giving people a kind of amazing "single-handedness", with a large span and strong transcendence. It seems that Chen's "White Deer Plain" showed quality to his works before "White Deer Plain", and Liu's writing was a kind of "rooted writing", and Xianghe had no twists and turns. The author presents all kinds of countryside from an objective perspective, and many plot twists and advances are realized through customs description, which makes readers realize the simple beauty of natural countryside and a faint sadness of all things flowing. Huang Fan believes that Xianghe can be classified as an "agricultural novel" in the south from the perspective of literature classification. This kind of novel is devoted to writing local chronicles, dialects, customs, geography and natural history. Instead of focusing on exploring universal human nature, it only highlights regional individuality with aesthetics and literature. The beautiful feelings depicted in Xianghe, which don't necessarily exist, have become a kind fiction that the author is committed to making his hometown lead to eternity. This paper emphatically analyzes the language features and poetic expression of Liu's novel Xianghe, and points out that the original Xinghua dialect is widely used in Xianghe area, which contains a strong regional culture. Zhang carefully inspected the inheritance relationship between the previous works and classical literature and folk literature, which aroused the resonance of the experts attending the meeting. Wen Yi Daily, Literature Daily, Xinhua Daily, Yangzi Evening News, Modern Express, Jinling Evening News, Taizhou Daily, China Writers Network, Jiangsu Writers Network and many other media reported on the seminar.
