Han Shaogong is the main advocate of 1985 "root-seeking literature". He published The Roots of Literature, put forward the slogan of "seeking the roots" and put this idea into practice with his own creation. Well-known are father, father, daughter, daughter and so on. It shows the trend of drawing strength from the profound national history and culture, which is rich in profound philosophical implications and has a great influence on the literary world. Han Shaogong's novella "Daddy Daddy" describes the historical changes of a primitive tribe-Jitouzhai by means of symbols and fables, showing a closed, stagnant, ignorant and backward national cultural form. The work takes the idiot Bingzai as the protagonist. Through his description, he outlined some abnormal and morbid ways of thinking about traditional culture, and expressed the writer's profound reflection and criticism on traditional culture. Bingzai is a little old man who "grows up before he gets old". He looks weird and wretched, and he can only say two words repeatedly: "dad" and "mother x" However, such a figure who is irrational, unclear in language and confused in thinking is worshipped by all the villagers in Jitouzhai, and is regarded as a divination of Yin and Yang, and is regarded as "xianggong", "xianggong" and "immortal". Therefore, soldiers who lack normal thinking show the morbid mental symptoms of villagers' ignorance and irrationality. After the war between Jitouzhai and Jiweizhai, most men died, but the soldiers survived stubbornly. This image, which will never grow up, symbolizes the stubbornness, ugliness and irrationality of life. His two prophetic phrases not only contain the most primitive and basic forms of the creation and continuation of human life, but also have the mysterious significance that individual life is closely related to traditional culture. At the same time, it implies the eternal "binary opposition" way of thinking that has long influenced and restricted the progress of human civilization in traditional culture. Han Shaogong dissected the ancient, closed and almost primitive cultural inertia through Daddy Daddy, which obviously showed a negative and critical attitude towards traditional culture. Han Shaogong is basically a realistic writer. However, due to his admiration for the witch culture of Chu and the romantic tradition of Lisao, while examining the national inferiority with a strong sense of hardship, he revived the mysterious mythological meaning in Chu culture with artistic means such as fables and symbols, which painted the text with a romantic and mysterious color and left people with endless aftertaste and thinking. As we said, "root-seeking novels" mostly adopt a seemingly traditional and realistic narrative style, but "Daddy Daddy" adopts an absurd "fable style", which may be an exception.
