First, cultural capital: the operation of China traditional culture in the supply of contemporary ideology.
Bourdieu believes that capital can be expressed in three basic forms: economic capital, cultural capital and social capital. Economic capital can be directly converted into money and institutionalized in the form of property rights; Cultural capital can be transformed into economic capital under certain conditions and institutionalized in the form of education; Social capital consists of social obligations (relationships), which can be transformed into economic capital under certain conditions and institutionalized in the form of some noble title. Cultural capital usually exists in three states: concrete state, objective state and institutional state. The accumulation of cultural capital is embodied in what we call culture, education and self-cultivation. Cultural capital management is the practical application and transformation of accumulated cultural capital. This process is manifested in the efforts of investors and the changes of labor force in various periods. The conscious management of this kind of cultural capital provides the basic core for "cultural capital" to integrate other capitals, transform it into economic capital and get high returns, and plays a decisive role in the reproduction of social structure.
The cultivation, virtue and humanity of Jin Yong's novels are manifested in his efforts to get rid of the shackles of utilitarianism and materialism on individual spirit by running newspapers, writing reviews and creating novels, especially when writing reviews. As a cultural operator with political background, his pursuit of "super-purpose" has won him more commercial space for economic capital and social capital. In his novel creation, he consciously devoted more time to the analysis of human nature and understanding of life.
Jin Yong's own cultural accomplishment and serious attitude towards creation are important components of his cultural capital. Jin Yong treats the creation of martial arts novels with a serious artistic attitude, carefully constructs the unique artistic charm of martial arts novels, and highly consciously inherits the value of China culture, which is the starting point for Jin Yong to consciously manage cultural capital and integrate economic capital and social capital.
It is the best preservation of traditional culture to let traditional culture run in the supplies provided by contemporary thought. The ideological crystallization of traditional culture precipitated in the long river of history has been salvaged from the depths of history and gathered in the thinking that keeps pace with contemporary culture. This kind of deep thinking in history is not to revive the traditional culture, but to make the once vivid spirit of traditional culture still alive under the nourishment of contemporary cultural soil.
Jin Yong successfully integrated the elements of traditional culture with the spirit of modern culture, and promoted martial arts novels to a new height. On the one hand, his creation absorbs a lot of nutrition from traditional cultural resources, on the other hand, he comprehensively uses traditional cultural resources with his wisdom, inspiration, imagination and talent, thus forming the unique cultural capital of his novels. The inheritance and innovation of national traditional culture may be good or bad, but in the specific period of social development, the cultural capital operation of Jin Yong's novels has opened up a broad market for the society and provided different readers with the cultural resources they need. China's cultural spirit is also rooted in the realistic transformation of cultural resources in our daily life.
Many researchers have made wonderful and full exposition on how Jin Yong fully activates China traditional culture in his novels and effectively transforms traditional cultural elements into literary resources of novels, so I won't go into details. This paper focuses on the role and significance of Jin Yong's cultural capital management in the current context.
Focusing on the inheritance of traditional culture, with the help of martial arts novels, we can recreate Chinese traditional culture for the vast majority of Chinese descendants. Jin Yong used the traditional martial arts novel form, which not only carried the traditional culture, but also endowed the novel with the modern concept, that is, nourished the traditional culture of China with contemporary culture, let the traditional culture of China think together with modern culture, and created a new martial arts novel different from the traditional one.
China is rich in traditional cultural resources, but due to the lack of good creativity and reconstruction ability, traditional cultural resources are either idle and wasted, or lost in large quantities, or used by foreign cultures. As we all know, Mulan and Lotus Lantern, two popular folk stories in China, were transformed into cartoons by culture and technology in Hollywood, USA, which were widely spread through the global sales network, thus creating amazing box office and influence. This is Hollywood's transformation of China's traditional culture, but we have done nothing but worry. Under the background of globalization, just advocating the slogan "The more national, the more cosmopolitan" has no practical effect and significance on the internationalization of national culture. We can despise Hollywood's attention to China culture, focusing only on "China Kung Fu" which has the least China cultural characteristics, or we can despise Hollywood's collage of fragments of China culture into China's face. However, it is the mission of China people to prevent the further expansion of Hollywood's cultural influence and consciousness infiltration in China. If we ignore this, it will be the saddest.
