Xiao Yunru, 1940 Jiangxi, Guang 'an, Sichuan, studying in Beijing, working in Xi 'an. Now lives in Xi 'an, Shaanxi. Graduated from the journalism department of Renmin University of China. Vice Chairman of Shaanxi Federation of Literary and Art Circles, a famous cultural scholar and researcher. There are national-level outstanding contribution experts managed by the Ministry of Personnel, outstanding contribution experts in Shaanxi Province, and artists with both ability and political integrity in Shaanxi Province, who enjoy special allowances from the State Council. He has successively won seven national awards, including the China Book Award, the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China "Five Ones" Project Award for three times, the Starlight Award of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television for two times, the China Contemporary Literature Research Achievement Award and the Shaanxi Literature and Art Achievement Award, with provincial and ministerial awards 12. He is now the honorary dean of the School of Cultural Industry, School of Humanities, Xi Foreign Affairs University. Xiao Yunru put forward that "scattered in form but scattered in spirit" has influenced the literary world for decades.196110. 10, People's Daily opened a column of "Writing Prose", and discussed the characteristics, functions and themes of prose. During this period, Xiao Yunru wrote a short essay entitled "Scattering the Spirit", which caused decades of controversy and was written into the textbooks of primary and secondary schools in China, affecting the literary world in China for decades. At that time, he was only 20 years old and a junior in the journalism department of Renmin University of China. The first article published publicly in his life, Reading Political Comics in China, made the editor-in-chief of Fine Arts and aestheticians exclaim when they personally "summoned". The author turned out to be a boy of seventeen or eighteen! Forty-five years later, when Xiao Yunru recalled the arguments of that year, he borrowed the Song of Fleas by the Russian classical composer Mosolski to express his feelings. The debate about prose is "really unexpected and unbearable." "Once the flea was forced to wear a dragon robe and a medal, the fate of being distracted began to change. It is regarded as a reflection of the order of prose writing and a framework that binds prose writing in the new period. It is also very inevitable and reasonable. " In fact, Xiao Yunru's fame is closely related to his family education and academic background. Xiaoyun lost his father at half a year old and had no brothers or sisters. Her mother is a strong intellectual woman. During the "December 9" movement, she distributed leaflets in Beijing, debated with American priests in church schools, and publicized revolutionary beliefs. Later, she served as the vice chairman of Jiangxi Women's Federation. Her strength and cleverness have benefited Xiao Yunru from her life. Childhood and adolescence, playing and reading in grandpa's study, full of books on culture, economy, Japanese and Chinese, made Xiao Yunru have a strong yearning for the scenery in the book, and also planted the seeds of hard study in his young mind. Over the past 40 years, he has published more than 5 million words of various works, more than 260 papers in newspapers and periodicals at home and abroad, and published personal monographs and comments 17. Besides commenting on the works of more than 400 writers and artists, there are also a series of studies on China's western culture and western literature and art, which are in a leading position in the country and are recognized as the pioneers of this theoretical system. They have been translated and introduced to Britain, the United States, Japan, Australia and other countries, and have a wide influence at home and abroad. The idea of "scattered form and scattered spirit" in prose writing has been included in more than 10 liberal arts textbooks of colleges and universities and in the history of contemporary literature, and it has been listed as the national college entrance examination question of 1982, which is called the representative viewpoint of prose writing in the 1960s by academic circles. Jia Pingwa, a famous writer, commented on Xiao Yunru: "His thoughts are active and rich, and his works are heavy and hard. I fear and respect such people. At any literary and cultural seminar in Shaanxi, every time there is a speech, the venue is immediately silent, everyone is all ears, and he is always indispensable. In my feeling, the articles of theoretical critics in the north are like playing chess, while those of theoretical critics in the south are like playing Go, each with its own fat and thin length. I once lamented that whoever can integrate North-South styles will surely achieve great success. Mr. Xiao can be said to have this appearance, which should be attributed to domestic first-class theoretical criticism. " Feng Qiyong, a famous scholar and teacher of Xiao Yunru, said with emotion: "Rhyme thinking is not limited to literary problems. In many aspects such as society, history and culture, people have never seen it before, and sometimes they have unique opinions. Yunru is a prolific person. " Xiao Yunru has been working in Xi since she graduated from university. Xi 'an has become his first hometown, and everything about Xi 'an makes him miss this ancient city. His interesting words and Xi 'an's fate began with a bowl of mutton bread in soup. When he was in college, he came to Shaanxi Daily as an intern. At that time, living materials were extremely scarce, so he had to buy a bowl of mutton buns with the ticket. Xiaoyunru has more than 20 people in the internship department, but only one ticket per month. In order to take care of him, the leader persuaded his colleagues to postpone collecting tickets for one month. Xiaoyun, like winning the lottery, ran to the restaurant for dinner. It's my first time to eat mutton bread in soup, and I haven't touched oil for several days. The sudden delicious food made his "hungry stomach feel a burst of joy" and he was immersed in the feeling of alacrity all day.

Radar, a famous critic, said: "Looking at Yunru's literary theory in the past 30 years, it is outstanding that his thoughts are active and cover a wide range, including literature, philosophy, drama, calligraphy, prose creation, social criticism, folklore research and even cultural anthropology." For his own reputation, Jia Pingwa once felt wronged and wronged for Xiao Yunru: "He should belong to the first-class theoretical criticism in China, but his reputation is not outstanding. Xi' an area is because of him, and he is really wronged. Because Beijing and Shanghai, newspapers and periodicals face the whole country, Xi 'an newspapers and periodicals only face one corner, most of his articles are published in Xi 'an newspapers and periodicals, and his existence is somewhat ignored in domestic literary circles. "However, Xiao Yunru's indifference to this point will not affect his contribution to western literature and art. The complexity and scope of his academic system are beyond the reach of later scholars. Perhaps Qu Gao and Widow, his popularity in the country is not as hot as that of some "academic stars". His name is rarely seen in various awards, his figure is rarely seen in various lively occasions, and the hot spots of various speculations have nothing to do with him. There, he has a positive attitude towards life, and his frankness and cuteness have won the enthusiasm, follow-up and admiration of many literary friends. Xiao Yunru pursues a normal and quiet study life. Like an ancient literati far away from human fireworks, he is indifferent to fame and fortune and never pays attention to awards. He said: "For decades, my book has worked with me to improve my living conditions and record the trajectory of life and society. "
