Chapter 365 Witness the historical process of the development of Chinese literature(2/2)
"You asked a good question. The so-called isolation of the country is actually a relative concept.
Our world culture is actually enclosed on the planet Earth, and Chinese culture is part of the overall culture of this planet.
If our own culture is not good enough and we don’t pass it on, but just wait to be assimilated by others, I think this may be more tragic than closing the country to the outside world.
On the contrary, if we can prosper our culture and communicate with the world on an equal footing on this basis, wouldn’t this be contributing to the cultural prosperity of the world?”
Lin Chaoyang's answer was brilliant and attracted applause from everyone.
Immediately afterwards, several writers asked him questions, and Lin Chaoyang answered everyone's questions in a clear and coherent manner.
After a few questions, Li Tuo asked a question.
"Chaoyang, based on your speech today, I thought carefully about it. Could it be that the latest movie you wrote, "Crossing Guandong", was the product of your theory?"
Li Tuo always likes to think divergently. When he mentioned "Crossing Guandong", Lin Chaoyang was stunned at first.
At the beginning of his speech today, he was temporarily captured by Zhang Guangnian and compiled some thoughts on the current development of literature.
He did not have these thoughts when he was writing the novel, but if he thinks about it carefully, "Crossing the Guandong" does contain many depictions of national history and culture, which can be considered consistent with what he said today.
Therefore, Lin Chaoyang nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
Li Tuo's face became excited when he heard this, "How about I give your theory a name, and call it 'Root-seeking Literature'?"
After listening to Li Tuo's words, Lin Chaoyang had no reaction, but the writers around him became excited.
Since the reform and opening up, various literary trends of thought have continued to emerge, but most of them are based on people's wisdom and second-hand concepts from Western literature.
Li Tuo summarized Lin Chaoyang's views and put forward the term "root-seeking literature", which suddenly reminded everyone of the "scar literature" that was popular in the past few years.
Although the trend of "scar literature" has passed, it is after all an important literary trend that once influenced this country and nation, and has left a profound mark in the historical development of Chinese literature.
When everyone thought of this, they had a premonition in their hearts.
Tonight, they witnessed the historical process of the development of Chinese literature.
