North Bridge's exquisite artistic criticism in the book is equally valuable, and the close reading and impressional criticism of the text are very valuable in the current literary criticism. The theoretical worship and anxiety in contemporary literary criticism, as well as the neglect of close reading of works, are far from the original intention of literary criticism to a great extent, while these articles of Beiqiao are the closest to the essence of literary criticism, focusing on works and showing the artistic characteristics of works and the creative characteristics of writers in detail. For example, in the article Pure Sunshine of Spiritual Home, his comments on Cao Yuxiang are quite wonderful. "Cao Yuxiang's narrative strategy is based on the original reproduction of life and touches everything in the field of vision in a realistic way. The scenery of growing up and the details of life are clearly restored because of his intentions and emotions, which are exquisite and undistorted. The actions and fragments in life, because of his heart and sensitivity, have left countless marks in his mind and will last forever in time. Telling daily life in poetic language and dealing with secular things in poetic thinking require a high degree of artistic mastery. Cao Yuxiang obviously has this ability, so he has a simple and smooth aesthetic and a real life story. " This comment not only captures the aesthetic characteristics of the poet's creation, but also conforms to poetry, showing the exquisiteness and beauty of literary criticism. Beiqiao's interpretation of green gang's novels, on the one hand, green gang's novels are worth studying (there are only a handful of writers who pay attention to the art of short stories like green gang), and on the other hand, Beiqiao chose a unique angle-he did not attempt to make a comprehensive value judgment on green gang's novels, but chose to comb and analyze them in detail in the same vein, read the works carefully and even talk about the facts, thus avoiding the danger of boasting.
I don't know how many critics like Beiqiao have the patience to read the text. He walked forward step by step in green gang's writing world, never letting go of every sentence, word and detail of green gang's novels, telling us the whole story and reading it with us. He started from the beginning, all the way down, that is to say, these texts, chatting while reading, pointing. I sometimes have the idea that I don't have to read Bang's novels clearly. At the same time, he indicated that he was more eager to read green gang's novels.
I think such criticism is effective. As a male writer and critic, Beiqiao wrote a collection of essays, Liu Qingbang's Daughter Country.
North Joe and Liu Qingbang met in the homeland of the soul, picked up the fragments of childhood memories, and the stories of women's physical and spiritual growth overlapped and flashed at the origin of human nature, * * * isomorphic, and constructed the simplest and brightest rural "daughter country" far from urban luxury. With poetic language and multi-dimensional perspective, it expands the literary space for exploring the meaning of women's existence from the local folk "grassroots" and tells the story of "good roots" that human beings really love in the countryside. Because, there is local moisture and thick ze.
This collection of essays and comments is a combination of narration and comments by Beiqiao, which reshapes more than 50 rural women's images written by Liu Qingbang from multiple perspectives, presenting their brightest memories in distant villages. This beautiful memory is sharpened into a corridor of female images through the scene of female rural survival, and left to the history of contemporary female literature with a distinctive group image. It's comforting! This paper discusses the source of "maternal love" and the pain of nirvana with women as the main body, and expresses the double disaster of women who are far away from home. Thought-provoking! This cut-in method is also rare among male writers. In fact, all the novels of Beiqiao can be called "The Past of Zhuwan Village". In his novels, I saw many familiar shadows, such as Fei Ming, Shen Congwen, Xiao Hong, Su Tong, Mo Yan, Chi Zijian ... These shadows, bright or dark, seemed to be a microcosm of China, and they became clearer and clearer. Finally superimposed together-I saw a real North Bridge, one coming from Zhuwan Village. However, reading his novels, I feel that he has never left Zhuwan Village where he was born and raised. To paraphrase Wen Yiduo's lyrics, you still have my inner soul.
It should be said that this is a keynote of Beiqiao's novels. Zhujiawan is similar to the training ground of human nature, the gathering place of desire and the habitat of soul. Judging from the grasp of structure and the rendering of verve, I prefer his short stories, which are familiar and relaxed, because they are short, pithy and more exquisite, and seem to combine the elegant and beautiful poetry with the subtle and light prose.
This is North Joe's world. He hoped to communicate with nature with an unfailing childlike innocence, and he did. Therefore, he is happy. With great patience and delicacy, Beiqiao tells and describes the life of ordinary soldiers of the Armed Police in millions of words. His writing ethics must be related to this proverb. In my imagination, this proverb truly describes the pain and emotion in North Joe's heart. Although it has experienced the world, it is difficult to calm down. This proverb was later transformed into a poetic image, superimposed with the life and soul of Beiqiao, calling for his literary road. On the one hand, hundreds of thousands of words of "camp series" works explain the connotation of this proverb, on the other hand, they also alleviate the deep pain in Beiqiao's heart that is difficult to calm down. The life of the former armed police at the grassroots level must make Beiqiao unforgettable, even unforgettable, which is the basis or source for Beiqiao to write the above works. Beiqiao wants to restore the lives of ordinary soldiers with a series of works, revive their pure youth and testify for their "existence". North Bridge, which wrote "Camp Series", did not stay in the perceptual imagination. He obviously popularized and summarized this proverb metaphysically, so this proverb became the core idea of his works, or called soul.
North Joe's narrative and description are calm and patient, but also plain and profound; You may even feel a little embarrassed and lonely. He is like a loyal and forbearing gardener, guarding the quiet camp area year after year, witnessing the "existence" of military life and guarding the spiritual home of professional soldiers. Holderlin said that literature is the witness of "existence". Existence is the spiritual boundary of literature, and existence is also the eternal motif of literature. Those great literary works have been describing, explaining and discriminating the basic existence of human beings-this is its fundamental value. In this sense, the "Barracks Series" works have witnessed Beiqiao's persistent exploration of the normality of military life, and also reflected Beiqiao's resolute opposition to the trend of "novelty-seeking" in military literature in the new century, and also demonstrated Beiqiao's literary ambition to construct and explain the subculture of military camps.
It is believed that the value and significance of the "Camp Series" works will be highlighted with the continuous complexity and severity of the real "existence" situation. Perhaps, on such a narrow literary road, North Joe still has to go alone; But I have vaguely felt a trace of determination and pride from his back. After all, for a literary explorer and pilgrim, this is great happiness on the road. When Beiqiao's prose "Ying Yan" participated in the literary awards of the whole army, it won the unanimous praise of the judges with its unique angle and interesting interpretation, and won the China People's Liberation Army Literature Award that year. At that time, I appreciated Beiqiao's originality. It is often said that life in the military camp is very rich, with endless characters and endless topics. What North Bridge did can be regarded as a very convincing footnote. Unexpectedly, he didn't stop after winning the prize, and he was as diligent as ever. A few years later, he launched this "Soldiers in the World" with the company as the center and the grassroots officers and men as the story.
I am deeply moved that while some writers are not so interested in the life of the army, or their feelings with grassroots officers and soldiers are getting more and more alienated, Beiqiao always focuses on the company and tells those lovely grassroots officers and soldiers with constant feelings and great enthusiasm. This is very commendable and should be praised. Dare to write a work in this way without story and plot (at this point, North Bridge may be the farthest at present), which shows the author's confidence and familiarity with military camp life. It seems to be the strangest thing at ordinary times, but it is easy but difficult to realize. Without long-term experience, accumulation and pondering on the life of military camp (police camp), how dare you adopt such a very loose brushwork, and how can you have such creativity and writing style?
As the author said, "The military camp is a river, and the words full of military flavor are like all kinds of fish swimming around." The strict norms of the military camp and the unique vigor of youth have activated the fish and made them jump out of the water alive, but they are not allowed to jump ashore too much, which the author clearly realized. Therefore, there may be some gaps in the interpretation of people who lack understanding and attention to military camp life. For those who can agree, Ying Yan has a tickling knowledge and comfort.
