1. "New writing"

Regarding "Brother Yingwa", we will attract its strange and miscellaneous. In the current pattern of novel creation in the vast sea of ​​smoke, fish and dragons, Li Yan's narrative personality is unique, which is a "high -recognition" "Li'er -style" writing. Regarding the "intellectual" love, and the writing posture with his eyes and ears in it, the reader feels that the pen in his hand depicts both broken and outlined the whole. Undencent.

Li Yan said, "Because the vitality of history has not disappeared, all kinds of fresh experiences are also seeking a powerful expression, as Brutzki said, 'It came to us to find a riding. We Can it be said that there is a new writing that is likely to be brewing? "Li Yan's writing process and the emergence of" Brother Ying Wu "are the" new writing "that he always explores and practice, and he is also working hard to work hard , Try to be the "rider" of that load mission. Undoubtedly, such practice is not easy, and it is also very valuable. Just as the magnificent volume of "Brother Ying Xing", the courage of the era, and the complicated problems present, Li Yan's solemnity and ambitions have given it impossible The "real sense" that was ignored; but like all things with "new" attributes, it will be controversial. If some critics say, this is a work with a very vast interpretation space. It will bring high excitement to critics.

There are divergent opinions and mixed opinions. The readers after the introduction of "Brother Yingwu" seem to be reflecting the differences of "Brother Ying Xing". Of course, after the work is completed, the reader's acceptance and the effectiveness of the work of the work in the short term and the effectiveness of the work of the work creation can be completed in the short term. It does not constitute positive or inevitable, because different factors such as the times, social, political, and marketability always restrict and balance the evaluation standards, and shaped individuals to accept interest. However, it seems that the reader's response also seems to have canceled the object and object faced by the text. After all, the real "loneliness book" cannot obtain the existence. The acceptance of "Brother Yingwa" has formed a very interesting phenomenon. The carnival of the comment circle and the acceptance of the public's acceptance show a more obvious polar division; And the temptation of the "Book of Writers", with the warm support of the poet and the writer, the multiple interpretation dimensions brought by this work.

2. Types, acceptance differentiation and problems

"Brother Yingwa" is a masterpiece of Li Yan in creative practice. Focusing on the establishment of the "Taihe" Institute of Jeju University, from the perspective of Brother Yingwu, the three generations of intellectuals appeared. It continues to present history, world affairs, and culture, and then through some small secular stories settings, extended to political and business people such as Luan Tingyu, Leiba Mountain, iron comb, etc., to form a complex social observation field. Fold in the time dimension. The novel is mixed out of the experience of fragmentation and decomposable life with non -linear narrative linguistics, a large number of literary knowledge citations, and miscellaneous problems, and the fragmentation and decomposition of life feels, forming a writing of contemporary positive attacks. Faced with such a complicated and magnificent system, the comment circle is generally reported with enthusiastic expectations. Prior to the publishing of "Brother Yingwa", "Brother Yingbing", who had been running for 13 years, had received a lot of attention in the literary circle of the author's communication. When asked about the progress of the novel, in addition to deeply feeling my incompetence, I can only be silent. "Li Yan's good reputation and position in the literary center that Li Chen had previously brought him more gaze and sight.

When "Brother Yingwa" was published in the "Harvest" in 2018, the comments with the comments "The spiritual fission of modern intellectuals and others -from the opening method of Li Yan's novel" Brother Yingwu " "(Wang Chunlin) and" The relationship between critical narratives and the relationship between the wind and the door, and the things of things (Wang Hongsheng) were published simultaneously on the two volumes, and various comments on "Brother Yingbu" officially began to appear in the literary circle. At the end of the year, the People's Literature Publishing House launched a single book for "Brother Yingwa". On December 24th, Critics and writers such as Cheng Depei, Jin Yucheng, Wu Liang, Wang Hongsheng, He Ping, Jin Li, Zhang Dinghao, and other critics conducted a warm discussion on "Brother Yingwu", which first caused shocks in Shanghai's criticism community. The evaluations of "Besieged City Upgrade", "Phenomenon -level works" and "destined to occupy bookshelves for a long time" and other evaluations. Soon, this novel first appeared on the novel list of the "Harvest" annual novels. On December 26, the launch conference of the novel "Brother Yingwa" was held in Beijing. Writers such as Li Jingze, Pan Kaixiong, Zhou Daxin, Zang Yongqing and other writers, critics, and critics, centered on the book's writing attitude, narrative characteristics, interpretation space, etc. Highly praised. In January 2019, the 2018 Literature Ranking of Yangtze River Review was released, and "Brother Yingwu" topped the list. Brother, are you Li Yan? 》 The two unique comments articles, Cheng Wen conducted a long article with the same interpretation characteristics and philosophical speculation from Li Yan from "Flower Cast" to "Brother Yingwu". Write a letter to "Brother Yingwa", and he walked again between the real and Li Hongwei and Li Hongwei. Subsequently, literary research publications "Southern Literature", "Contemporary Writer Review", "Chinese Contemporary Literature Research", "Literature and Art Forum", "Contemporary Literature", "Literature and Art Contest" and so on organized columns to pay attention He Shaojun, Xie Youshun, Jing Wendong, Ma Bing, Xiang Jing, Xiong Hui, Xu Yong, Shao Buxia, Li Yin and other old and young critics. Style, huge achievements in Chinese and Western cultural integration, deconstruction and sorrow, poetic problems, secular life construction, Confucian inheritance and other analysis of comprehensive and three -dimensional analysis. status. In August 2019, "Brother Yingwu" won the 10th Mao Dun Literature Award. The topics and attention brought by the work continued to ferment until the present. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the hot discussion in the comment circle, Li Yan also received the eager reaction of the writer's fellow and poet. Prior to "Brother Yingwa", Wei Wei praised his creation by "Li Chen and" Flower Cast ". After the appearance of "Brother Yingwa", the poet Du Lulu's "The Border between Li and his talents" once again affirmed the significance of "the appearance of Li Yan's novels, which is for improving Chinese quality". At this point, "Brother Yingwa" won a relatively consistent affirmation in the literary circle from the appearance to winning the Mao Dun Literature Award.

The support of the literary circle and the criticism circle formed a strong contrast is the Waterloo encountered in ordinary readers accepted by ordinary readers. In the reading platform of ordinary netizens, Douban and Zhihu have relatively negative evaluations of "Brother Ying Xing". In the short -term review of Douban short reviews, Punkpark wrote, "Li'er did set some kind of ambition, but it is also limited to this. This is a special book for critics, so that the critics can use the questions to play the problem. "Novels of myoretical knowledge ..."; In the long review, Baomu laughed in the "Book of Failure to Failure: Who has moved the desk of contemporary intellectuals?" "" "Brother Ying Xing" in the article is really done, but Li Yan in the year of destiny wants to pursue that transition -to write a hundred attitudes with his own strength, it is really an ambiguous temptation, but the difficulty factor is too too much. "High indicators". Others include "a very strange novel", "inevitably artisan", "as a whole novel as a novel as a whole, and it is indeed weak in the future." Of course, there are certains. "A brave attempt to inherit and carry forward traditional Chinese literature is also a possibility of the development direction of Chinese literature in the future."

This distinctive contrast accepted by the readers of "Brother Yingwa" itself constitutes an interesting phenomenon in the "production -acceptance" link of contemporary literature. In these criticism, applause, and acceptance, we are weighing the diversion curve of the current literary creation. This is not only the result of the education role of college, but also the deconstruction and loss of the diversified or diversified value of literary concepts and value.

3. Li Yan's "literary view" to readers accept

As a "post -60s" novelist, Li Yan was once classified as a member of the "late writer". The style and writing temperament form a strong conscious fortress.

When he understood the "1960s writer" as a whole, he positioned it as a "suspended generation" that was "hopeful and not convinced". When it comes to the narrative method of literary creation, he believes that "writers who have not been trained by modernism cannot become realist writers of this era, and modernist writers in this era will definitely have the spirit of realism." He gave up " "The overall feelings of the world" believes that "the cornerstone of the writer's emotional education and moral enlightenment is removed" "If the overall feeling exists, it is also the experience of fragment and decomposition life." At the same time, he refused to tell a linear narrative and refused to tell a story completely. He believed that "the subjectivity of the characters that must be dependent on a story and the action under the subjective domination of the story no longer has typical significance in contemporary society. "". He interpreted each other in ten minutes in the interpretation of the inter -text, and he was always happy about the introduction of comments into novel creation. He once said, "I want to write a book, consisting of the text and attachment. There are countless explanations, countless citations, and explanations in the explanation. There are quotes in the citation. The next branch of the branches, it drifted smoothly, and then took root, growing new leaves, new branches. Perhaps the fate of people exists in the quotation and exists in the inside and outside of the parentheses ... ", and he is exactly in the exactlyings of This concept has been practiced in "Flower Cycles" and "Brother Ying Xing". It can be said that comments with the confidence of non -linear narrative, recognition of irony power, and abandonment of moral writing have formed its form of exploration and narrative, narrative, narrative Methods and the "Tao" of the novel, and thinking about the internal and external internal and external internal and external of reality and the truth. The reason why Li Yan presented in the book with "Questions and Answers" as the main body of the book "Q & A", because Li Yan not only had a sober sense of writing, but also had a profound awareness of interpretation. His literary practice and literary concepts have formed a distinctive interaction, and this interaction has constituted a relatively complete system at the text level and concept level through his self -cognition and interpretation. In the current writers, we can see a type of spontaneous creation. Such writers are catalyzed through the experience of life experience, regional nourishment and rich historical era, and finally presented to natural sensitivity and acquired cultivation. The final landscape. And another type of writer, with the traditional mainstream writing consciousness, actively embrace the moral requirements of literature, thinks about the concept of literature but insufficient depth, and its creation often has uncoordinated concepts (often the concept is greater than the creation). And Li Yan is obviously different from the two categories of the above. His literary experience is more reasonable to be treated with rational thinking. In continuous reorganization, fragmentation, and dialogue, the meaning and value "purify" Experience limited paths. It can be said that this type of writing not only forms a complete system here, but also manifested as a overall synchronization in literary concepts and literary practice. The thinking of literary writing ideas and technical means has been well presented in the practice of novel practice. And make its novels have a very distinct "research characteristics".

Undoubtedly, "Brother Yingwu" is the practical result of Li Yan's literary view. Burdiene proposed the concept of literary fields with a "dual structure" in the "Law of Art -the Genesis and Structure of the Literature Field". A "limited production field" specially created for the elites for peers, a "" Big production field. The autonomy of "limited production fields" pursues "creating everything through form functions", and these two fields can also be accepted and consumed duality characteristics. Li Yan's creation is in contrast to the two literary fields of Burdiehe, even if Li's creation itself has no intention of splitting the dual structure facing the work. However, in the "formal function" exploration, structural innovation, and "creativity" beyond moral fable, the pioneer of its novel is indeed undoubted. Even in "Brother Ying Xing", he tried to use a basic story kernel and the traces of the vanguard and the public, and to complete the reflection of the worldly permanent state, but his non -linear description, encyclopedia's full -book knowledge, and the knowledge of the encyclopedia, and the full -book knowledge of the encyclopedia, and the knowledge of the encyclopedia. Morality has completed the exploration of "heterogeneity" and obtained an extraordinary temperament -a "new writing" that is different from usual and traditional. Because of the pioneer that cannot be wiped out, it becomes the inverse of "big production field". This is the root cause of the evaluation of "can't read" and "too painful" on the reading platform. The roots of "incompetence" and "infinite extension". However, in its literary concept, the "story integrity" mentioned and whether the non -linear narrative as a means constitutes a logical disorder, whether the overallness of the novel, the moral construction and "emotional education" bring the novel to the face of the reality, all kinds Propositions are still worth discussing.
