Main achievements

Creative style

Early literary creation

In the early 1930s, Ding Ling completed the transformation from petty bourgeois democratic literature to proletarian revolutionary literature.

Ding Ling published her novels later. In 1927 and 1928, when Meng Ke and Ms. Shafei's diary were published, Bing Xin, Lu Yin and Feng Yuanjun were well-known all over the world, but later came a new force. In order to show the depression of the times during the ebb tide of the May 4th Movement and the complex character of the rebellious exclaimed young women, Ding Ling's Diary of Ms. Shafei is a work that others have not been able to write, and it is irreplaceable in the history of new literature. The diaries of Ms. Shafei, as well as a number of works such as dream and summer vacation, seem to have dropped a bomb in this dead literary world. Everyone is shocked by her genius. Ding Ling, who has become famous at one stroke, is very diligent in writing. In just two years, she has published three novel Collections: in the dark, suicide diary and a woman. The themes and contents of these works are not the same, and their ideological and artistic level is high or low, but they all show a kind of social rebellious mood and social critical consciousness of looking for light in the dark and looking for a way out in suffering from different angles and degrees. In particular, the works that show the life of young intellectual women, through the description of the atmosphere of the dignified era from the May 4th movement to the eve of the May 30th Movement, wedge into the depths of the protagonist's heart, and dig out a deep disappointment and pain of the times. It shows warm personality, emancipation spirit, and hazy and eager longing for the future.

Ding Ling has lived up to the expectations of the times. She broke away from the narrow world of describing knowledge, women's depression and pain, and began to describe the social revolutionary struggle positively, showing the revolutionary activities of the Communists. At the beginning of 1930, he published the novel Wei Hu. Then, he presented the novel one of Shanghai in the spring of 1930 and two of Shanghai in the spring of 1930 to the readers. It is true that these works can not get rid of the formula of revolution and love in early revolutionary literature. However, compared with many works of the same nature in the period of the left wing League, the description of revolutionary psychology and character in the novels is more real and natural, and has more life atmosphere. The writers have not only a rational understanding of their own life and characters, but also a rational understanding of them The real experience of life, especially the two "Shanghai in the spring of 1930". This shows that the author has fallen into the conflict between love and revolution. At the same time, to a certain extent, she has surpassed and broken through the existing creation mode with her own realistic artistic description. For Ding Ling, this change in her creation is undoubtedly a welcome message that her creation will advance with the times and Ding Ling's Transcendence of the creation crisis. From then on, Ding Ling stepped into the ranks of revolutionary literature writers.

Literary creation in the period of Liberated Areas

From Tian Jiachong, water to the sun shining on the Sanggan River, Ding Ling's literary creation also has a new development in the pursuit of national style. Ding Ling is a person with a wide range of literary interests, and has a broad acceptance of Chinese and foreign literature. She loved Maupassant, Flaubert, Hugo and Balzac, as well as Dickens. She also likes Tolstoy, Turgenev and Gorky. In the dream of Red Mansions, the romance of the Three Kingdoms and the water margin, she prefers to read Chinese classical literature masterpieces. Therefore, we can feel a grand realm of fusing various artistic methods and techniques in her creation. However, it is no doubt that her early works draw more from foreign literature, especially French literature The nourishment of literature, Ms. Shafei's diary, is more likely to remind people of Flaubert's Madame Bovary. In some works of the 1930s, she is trying to overcome the static psychological analysis, and more from the action to depict the character's ideological character, to the novel creation in the liberated areas. The delicate psychological description shows the rich and complex thoughts and feelings of the characters in the turbulent period In order to draw the complicated historical picture of class struggle, the works have a more complete plot structure, and the author makes more use of the action and language of the characters, and more use of small stories and stories
