Character achievement:
Chekhov created a lyrical psychological novel with unique style and concise and delicate art. He intercepted ordinary fragments of daily life, described and portrayed life and characters with exquisite artistic details, and showed important social contents from it. This kind of novel is lyrical, expressing his dissatisfaction with ugly reality and longing for a better future, and integrating praise and criticism, joy and pain into the image system of his works. He believes that "the sister of genius is concise" and "the ability to write is the ability to delete poor writing". He advocated "objective" narrative, saying that "the more objective, the deeper the impression". He trusts readers' imagination and understanding ability, and advocates readers to ponder the meaning of works from the image system. His short story "Fanka" was selected as the primary Chinese textbook of China People's Education Publishing House.
Creative features:
The theme, tendency and style of Chekhov's drama creation are basically similar to his lyric psychological novels. He does not pursue bizarre twists and turns, but describes ordinary daily life and characters, from which he reveals important aspects of social life. Chekhov's plays are rich in subtext and lyricism. His realism is full of inspiring power and profound symbolic significance. Seagull and cherry orchard are his original artistic symbols. Stanislavski, Danchenko and Moscow Art Theatre (founded in 1898) cooperated creatively with Chekhov and made great innovations in stage art.
Social evaluation:
Chekhov is good at concise and accurate language and exploring through the surface of life, exposing the hidden motives of characters to the fullest. His excellent plays and short stories do not have complicated plots and clear answers, but focus on some seemingly trivial stories, creating a special and sometimes unforgettable or lyrical artistic atmosphere. He used concise writing skills and avoided showing off literary means, and was regarded as an outstanding representative of Russian realistic literature at the end of 19. He is known as one of the "three kings of short stories in the world". He created a lot of works in his life, which had a great influence on the development of world literature. Thomas mann said: "There is no doubt that Chekhov's art belongs to the most favorable and excellent category in the whole European literature." Katherine Manthfield said: "I would like to exchange all Mo Bosang's works for a short story by Chekhov." Indeed, Chekhov's works are simple and concise, with a long breath, which is mainly due to his vivid embellishment and straight-to-the-point creative brushwork in revealing the characters' personalities. Many of his works are regarded as classics and widely circulated. His works occupy a very important position in Russian literature and even in world literature.
