The Development Course of Taiwan Province Local Literature

1, dialect literature

In the early 1920s, rural literature began to be touched upon in the debate between old and new literature, and in 1930s, the slogan of rural literature was formally put forward, which caused extensive discussion. The definition of rural literature in the 1920s and 1930s mainly focused on content and form. In content, it advocates writing about local things in Taiwan Province Province, and in form, it advocates using Taiwan Province dialect, but it emphasizes national consciousness and local color from the cultural point of view. During this period, the local literature in Taiwan Province Province was anti-imperialist and anti-feudal realistic literature, with the theme of opposing the colonial rule of Japanese imperialism and full of strong nationalism and patriotism. At this stage, Lai He created Sorry for Her Death, Making Trouble, The Glory of Chen Xugu, The Papaya Market of Long Zongying, Yang under the Moon, The Crying Woman, Yang Shouyu's New Year, Guo Qiusheng's Invincible Destiny and Lai Qing's Female Tragedy.

2. Rural literature

In August, 1930, Taiwan Province Wuren Daily serialized Huang's long article How not to advocate local literature. "Whether you are the representative of the ruling class or the leader of the working people, you should always do literature and art for the working people, so you should stand up and advocate local literature and build local literature." Obviously, Huang's local literature is geared to and serves the working people, and is a literary creation that pays attention to farmers' sufferings. Due to political pressure, local literature was almost in a state of silence in the 1940s and 1950s, and only a few people, such as Chung Li-ho and Zhong Zhaozheng, were quietly cultivating.

3. Realistic literature

At the end of 1960s, Chen Yingzhen, Huang Chunming, Li Qiao, Zheng Qingwen and Zhenhe Wang rose in the literary world, and their works changed the development trend of Taiwan Province's contemporary novels with distinct realistic tendencies. Chen Yingzhen's novels combine strong national consciousness, high internationalism and a strong sense of the times, which profoundly express the turbulent changes in Taiwan Province's provincial society and have strong emotional power and speculative power. Huang Chunming's creation is regarded as the spokesman of the little people because of his strong concern for the fate of the local little people.

It was not until the appearance of Chen Yingzhen, the master of Taiwan Province local literature in 1970s that we really realized the great strength and grace of local literature in Taiwan Province literature. The creative climax of "local literature" in 1970s: Chen Yingzhen's comedy of Tang Qian, Huang Chunming's story of youth and Zhenhe Wang's dowry of ox cart. After 1980s, Taiwan Province local literature appeared diversified creative thoughts. The rise of young writers with realistic spirit.

The Controversy of Local Literature in Taiwan Province Province

1977 to 1978 is a great debate on local literature, which takes literature as a breakthrough and involves politics, economy, ideology, culture and many other fields. On the one hand, the official forces unite with modernist writers, and on the other hand, the liberal rural factions oppose each other. Writers of two political forces, two ideologies and two camps are arguing over a series of important issues, such as how to evaluate local literature, how to evaluate the current situation of literature in Taiwan Province Province, how to treat the social reality in Taiwan Province Province and how to treat traditions. At that time, many articles held a negative attitude towards local literature. Taiwan Province provincial authorities are also neurotic, accusing the local literature of being a reprint of "workers, peasants and soldiers" literature and art, and "completely exterminating and cracking down on Wei Tiancong, a local literature writer at that time. This controversy clarified the development route of two kinds of heterogeneous literature, official literature and folk literature (mainly local literature) after 1949, won a legal seat for local literature in the literary world, and formed a local literature creation team with local writers as the core. Established the national style of Taiwan Province literature, returned to the native land, reflected the reality, and became a writer's * * * knowledge. The trend of local literature has become the mainstream of Taiwan Province provincial literature. Through this debate, Taiwan Province's novel creation has made great progress, and a large number of better works have come out one after another.

With its outstanding reflective spirit and realistic concern, Taiwan Province's local literature has made Taiwan Province's local literature a unique thread of China's cultural trend of thought, which is the spiritual course of Taiwan Province people from confusion to reflection, from silence to shouting, from sadness to self-help.
