The modern imagination in the legendary Song Yun text

Time is the enemy that everyone must face. Even if the great Confucius, he sighed in the face of time: "The deceased is like a husband, and the fear of time has promoted the birth of two types of subject matter: one is the one is the Science fiction, throw his eyes into the future to defeat the fear; one is "crossing", capturing a "possibility" to make up for the regret of the past with the help of fictional stories.

In April 2018, the work "First Undercover" serialized by the Shushan Chinese website under the handwriting of Shushan Chinese is a better historical work in recent years. Since its release, he has won the championship of the monthly ticket list many times, helping the author Long Yuan to win the results of the new historic king of 2018. Although it is a "type film" written in the plot mode of crossing the novel, the writing method of "The First Undercover of the Southern Song Dynasty" is quite "retro", with a narrative style of obvious ancient legendary novels.

Ancient legendary novels inherited the monster, and they were stunned in the Tang Dynasty. The biggest feature is that the historian brushwork is written in the way of writing strange things, and a large number of poems are used in the text, giving the language elegant, the content is mainly folk stories, and the text is popular. Ancient legendary novels clearly explained the time, dynasties, and place of the story to give readers a psychological sense of authenticity. Upper ups and downs. Between true and illusory, a narrative world of aesthetic value has been created.

This unique narrative style is also used by Long Yuanhua in "The First Undercover of the Southern Song Dynasty". First of all, it is the narrative strategy of the novel's elegant and common appreciation. First of all, "Ya", the "Ya" of the novel is the creation of Song Yun's temperament. The content of the article involves the world's state of the Song Dynasty, reflecting the social style of all levels. The characters have gone from traffickers to senior officials, and they are all vivid and vivid. The author also interspersed the geographical human knowledge of the Song Dynasty in the text, which was large to the customs of Wanli and various places. It was really lifelike to be in front of the tea houses and wine restaurants and Gou Nawashe. As a historical background, the Song Dynasty gave the novel a graceful cultural charm. Even if the attractiveness of the mystery itself, it was only interesting from the "Southern Song Dynasty" only from the "Syrian History" part. The "vulgar" of the novel is mainly manifested in the design of the plot story. First, most of the wonderful case described in the novel happened in civilians, such as inn, brothels, temples, etc., making the novel full of strong folk atmosphere. Second, the process of cracking the strange case in the novel fully cater to the curiosity of readers, and the twists and turns show the sense of entertainment, which undoubtedly enhances the popularity of the novel. In addition, through the rugged case of the strange case, the author cleverly incorporated the "narrative" into the "narrative" to assist the construction of the plot. For example, the first wonderful case of the novel: Cat demon killing case, the author's background of big food merchants, the psychological state of their business in the Song Dynasty, and the detailed description of eating habits, etc., which not only conveyed a certain historical knowledge, but also turned into it. The key information of the protagonist Shen Mo solved the case.

Secondly, the narrative style of ancient legendary novels shows the creative technique of "unity of reality" in this book, and is mainly reflected in the character and plot settings. Through the detection process, the author involves many "historical figures". In terms of the creation and design of these characters, the author "Bo test historical materials, there must be well -evident", on the other hand, in the blankness that the history books are not recorded, they use their imagination to expand. For example, the image of Song Ci in the novel appeared in front of him when the crossed person Shen Mo appeared in front of him as King Jin Yan Lie, and Song Ci replaced his trust in a strategy, and then took the knife to hold the hostage to escape. When she appeared in front of Song Ci, Song Ci wanted to commit suicide because of the loyalty of Zhao and Zhao; when Shen Mo asked the people in Shu in Shu, Song Ci helplessly chose to accept Shen Mo's invitation. Through the different reactions before the three topics of the country, the friendship of the monarch, the friendship of the monarch, the friendship of the monarch, the friendship of the monarch and the minister, the author of the Song Ci, the author of the author, and the patriotic and patriotic Songci image. Song Ci Zhiyong's image comes from the records of history books. This is his "real" side, and Shen Mo San invited Song Ci to be a fictional plot. Through this plot, the author presented the values ​​of Song Ci's "people> emperor> enemy" on the reader In front of him, the thin and one -sided image of Song Ci in the history books made him win the love of readers. But the author's values ​​are not so much that the values ​​of Song Ci are the values ​​of Song Ci's imagination. Winning readers' love is not so much Song Ci, it is better to be the modernity of Song Ci's character. The author does not copy the characters in the history books to the novel, but to conduct secondary creations on the basis of the history books, so that modern characters appear on the historical stage on the historical stage.

This modern intervention is more intuitive to show the plot settings. As a type of novel, "The First Undercover of the Southern Song Dynasty" inherited the consistent plot mode of historical crossing novels: describing the protagonist's chances of crossing from modern times to ancient times, using their own knowledge to enter the peak of life in the ancient dynasty. Shen Mo from the beginning of the Song Dynasty relied on the history of the Song Dynasty he knew to make profits for himself in exchange for the opportunity to add official Jinjue. When his political capital was enough, Shen Mo began to move modern industrial products to the stage, such as lathe and firearms. In the end, Shen Mo was a Daxing Industry, defeating the feudal system with a modern system, and "easy to be" modern. Of course, simply describing the process of development of industry will not bring readers to read "refreshing". Industry is only "technical". The fundamental purpose is to help the motherland of the motherland to complete the rise of rejuvenation through modern means such as industry. It can be seen that although the novel describes the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, it directly connects readers' dreams of memory and rejuvenation of the history of humiliation in modern times. The storyline of the development of industry in the Song Dynasty is of course fictional content, but corresponds to the real emotional structure of the real society. When reading, an emotional "homogeneous" is generated, then the psychological "realistic sense" is also born out of birth. Essence Through the intervention of modern imagination, the author's fate of the home country has been projected into the Song Dynasty, enabling readers to make up for the regret of irreparable history through reading novels. In this process, the truth and fiction are cleverly combined in the author's pen, creating a "modern legend" that is made of history and the present, tradition and modernity through the combined narrative strategy of vulgarity.
