The literary value of East Asian Chinese writing

"Talk" is the unique visual communication method of ancient East Asia. At that time, although the oral language of East Asia was different, the common written language, the Chinese characters, became an important tool for communication. Therefore, the context of Chinese characters as a medium has the characteristics of cross -language, cross -ethnic and cross -culture. The official tribute ministers, folk businessmen, monks, and drifting people are participants who are talking about. Among them, most of the envoys who came to China have deep Han cultural literacy. They "replaced the tongue" with Chinese literati silently dialogue, and the content involved poetry rewards, information communication, customs inquiries, and cultural exchanges.

According to research, East Asia's earliest writing appeared in the Sui Dynasty. In 607 AD, Japan sent Sui envoy to complete information exchange and cultural communication with China in the form of "Book Land". East Asia's talked about the activity shows quite complicated intersection. The main body of the talk about the event includes the North Korea ’s North Korean Angels and Swallows, and the Japanese envoys sent to China to China to send the Tang envoys, and North Korea’ s communication between Japan ’s communication and repairs. The literature is also scattered in the historical materials such as "Chaotian Record", "Yan Xing Lu", "Make La Lu", "Drifting Hai Lu", "Pen Talking and Singing". The existing Chinese pen talks about the total number of literatures, and most of them are circulated in East Asia in the form of manuscripts. It is a historical material rich mine that is worthy of in -depth excavation. It can provide new materials for literary research and help the update and expansion of literary research methods.

Wang Yong once talked about the differences in the identity of the body, and divided the literature of East Asia into "Diplomacy and Talking about the Literature Group", "Drifting Minfan Talking about the Literature Group" and "the official and monk's vulgar pen." If you investigate from the perspective of literature, the "Diplomacy Pen talks about the literature group" and "the official and monk's vulgar pen talk about the literature group" are particularly worthy of attention, because the "diplomatic envoys" and the text communication of the Chinese and "officials and monks and monks" include extremely rich literary exchanges. historical data. The texts containing the complicated talked about the text of the literati and poetry rewards have made East Asian Chinese talked about important and unique literary value. Talking that it is often difficult to be regarded as a true "article" because of its unique free writing style, but from another dimension, it is precisely because of the establishment of the "article" to a certain extent. Only with more free expression space.

From the perspective of content, many talks are not simply continuous Q & A. Among them, the complicated characters and literary concepts involved in the re -interpretation of them in later generations. Most of the talked about the author's out -of -domain experience, so it can be attributed to the category of discipline literature, but it is different from the travel notes that express the aesthetic experience through the description of the scene. Essence Therefore, the specific text style of the writing is closely adhered to such as "argument", "letter", and "gift order", but it is not restricted to a specific style form.

If you look at the extension of the extension of Chinese literature, you can have a new understanding of literary nature of writing. The content involved is extremely extensive, and the topic of daily life, subjective feeling, and realistic understanding can be talked about. Therefore, not all the talked about is literary. But when we talk deeply about the inside of the text and explore the author's deep intentions, we can find their ideological ideas and cultural claims. For example, in the "Yan Xinglu" of Li's Minister Hong Darong, Pu tosan and others, there are many aspects of Chinese traditional culture involving Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zhuzi Xue, Yangming, and Le Lu. In addition, for the tribute envoy, Chinese literati is not only the medium of Chinese social culture, but also participants in poetry rewards and literary exchanges. At the same time, they are also important descriptions of literature. If you expand your vision to the entire East Asian region, then the characters in the literature in various countries will be a subject worthy of inquiry.

From the perspective of formation, literary talked texts have undergone the author's re -creation and processing. This kind of talked text is not just a polymer of short stories, but also trying to convey the author's complete thoughts and cultural concepts to readers. In the writing of the literature, a pen with an independent text form is based on the "talk" formed by the improvisation and the control of the author's creative intent. Therefore, the screening, selection, and finishing of the content of "talk about grass" are important steps for the formation of the work. By screening and sorting the content of the conversation, the author transforms oral dialogue into a writing text. In this process, the author focuses on the topic of the talks and penetrates his own thoughts and emotions. In this sense, you can also treat the pen as a special form of literary text. Talking about the truthful records and preserving the content of the conversation and the exchange site. This kind of recorded text not only eliminates fiction to a large extent, but also effectively abandons empty words and falsehood. It can be seen that reality and live nature are the first essentials of writing. The content of the dialogue and the author's historical consciousness and values ​​can be truthfully conveyed to the reader and resonated with psychological resonance.

From the perspective of expression techniques, in order to highlight the ideological and literary nature, the author often uses a variety of writing techniques such as induction, praise, foreshadowing, and hints in writing. With the help of a comprehensive narrative method, the author creates a special text that exceeds simple Q & A forms and literary nature while recording its own exotic experience. East Asian Chinese writing involves a large amount of poetic reward and singing content. The author uses literary expression methods to record the interviews of the interview and the author's own ideas. These expression methods are not only conducive to presenting the ideological communication process between the subjects, but also effectively enhanced the literary nature of writing, especially in the "Diplomacy and Talking about the Literature Group". Most of the envoys have deep Chinese cultural literacy, and there are many Confucian scholars with deep literary accomplishments. When they fulfill the diplomatic mission given by the country, literary activities such as poetry and singing are obviously unable to start, but when they talk with their friends, their creative desires will be fully released. In the pen -speaking talks that are mixed with poetry rewards, important issues often appear repeatedly. In the early days of writing, the two parties often used induction and roundabouts when discussing these issues. For sensitive topics that cannot be effectively communicated with these methods, with the continuous deepening of the friendship between the ministers and the exotic world, such topics will often be further expanded in subsequent writing. The use of these techniques will help soothe the serious and heavy atmosphere of the two sides to discuss politics, philosophy, and historical issues. The infiltration of literary elements makes the atmosphere of the pen easier and natural. Talk about the effect of "fast and fast" communication. Unlike the rapid dialogue, the writing of the text can be passed on, and the precious and rich historical materials have been reserved. This "sound text" that records the "sound" or the text can be largely restored to the exchanges, expanding the historical materials of ancient literature, and it is also important for the study of the study of literary exchanges in ancient East Asian countries.
