? Literary authenticity refers to the specific and vivid artistic image created by the writer through artistic generalization of certain social life phenomena or assumed life phenomena, thereby showing the characteristics or content of human nature and showing the social The essential laws of life and ideals of life, etc. Mainly manifested in two aspects: understanding and artistic reality and the main characteristics of artistic reality.
? The first is understanding and artistic reality. Literature is a cognitive activity that understands, reflects and interprets the object world, aiming to create an image system that integrates knowledge and aesthetics in its implication. If the work has the character of authenticity: historical rationality. No matter how bizarre and fantasy a literary work is, it all originates from social practice and can find its origin in social life. It must respect historical reality, otherwise it will have no value. As Balzac said: "The secret of achieving world-famous and immortal success lies in truth. Unreal works will have no value now and in the future." "Truth" is the basis for the pursuit of the aesthetic value of literature. Only with authenticity can the pursuit of aesthetic value in literary creation be meaningful.
? Then there are the main characteristics of artistic truth. It is reflected in two aspects. The first is that literary reality, as a kind of artistic reality, is different from the reality of life. It uses hypothetical situations to express the perception and understanding of the inner meaning of social life. It is an inner reality and hypothetical reality. The inner reality is to reveal and express the inner meaning of social life through the real surface of life from a historical and rational perspective. For example, Ai Qing's "Reef":
One wave after another
Endlessly rushing over
Every wave is at its feet
< p> It was beaten into pieces and scattered...Its face and body
looked like cuts with a knife
But it still stood There
Looking at the ocean with a smile...
He shaped the reef into an image of persecution but daring to resist. In fact, it is an overall symbol of the Chinese nation. From ancient times to the present, our nation has experienced countless humiliations from foreign invasions. However, our people have never given up the struggle and finally won victory in the arduous struggle. Hypothetical reality refers to the use of hypothetical situations to reflect or express the connotation of social life. At most, it is the fusion of realistic images and fantasy non-realistic images in romantic and symbolic works. For example, "Journey to the West" and "Metamorphosis" use virtual images. The world replaces the image of reality. Another example is realistic works, where the artistic situation is fictitious and hypothetical, such as "Thunderstorm". Second, literary truth as a kind of artistic truth is different from scientific truth. The reflection of artistic truth on the object world is subjective and poetic. The subjective reality is reflected in the subjectivity or subjectivity of literary creation, and the "reality" provided by literature is subjective and spiritual; artistic creation freely turns the object world into an image of the subject's knowledge and perception, emotion and will, Therefore it is subjective. Poetic artistry refers to the artistic means and artistic skills of poetry. To grasp the object world in a subjective way, literature must pay attention to "poetic art". Without the application of "poetic art", there will be no artistic reality. Hypothetical situations are generated in "poetic art".
? In summary, I believe that literary authenticity is reflected in two aspects: understanding and artistic truth, and artistic truth.
