Appreciation of works
The plot of the novel (the love between the blind zither player and the singing girl), the inner worries of the master of the garden, the tragedy of the old master, and the writer's concern for the hostess are interwoven and developed, and each of them has got a moving conclusion. There are only 120000 words in the whole book, and the processing is perfect. Li Guangtian, a literary critic, said after reading the diverting Garden: "Ba Jin's diverting garden is a good book. Among all Ba Jin's works I have read, I think it is the best one."
In fact, it is not only the best of Ba Jin's works, but also a model of modern Chinese novels. Sima Changfeng, a Hong Kong scholar of literature and history, once commented on "diverting garden": "on being cautious, you can compete with Lu Xun; on being beautiful, you can compete with Shen Congwen; on being vivid, you can't let Lao She; on being affectionate, you can't be inferior to Yu Dafu. But on the moderation and purity of art, the balance and harmony between plot and role, interest and skill, and the brilliance and roundness of the whole work, it's just right from all angles It's not like I've ever been there
In art, the novel boldly absorbs some conception techniques of Foreign Literature (obviously influenced by Chekhov's Cherry Orchard and fiance), and inherits and uses Chinese traditional artistic expression techniques, which has national characteristics.
1、 In terms of structure, Yang and Yao's lives are taken as clues, and the two lines run parallel, or develop in parallel, or intertwined. They echo each other and set off each other, which is very appropriate. And the use of suspense makes the narrative fascinating.
2、 In the description of characters, the work uses the technique of direct description and indirect description to show the character characteristics of characters in many aspects. This is the image of Yang Laosan.
3、 In terms of artistic conception, it draws lessons from the aesthetic pursuit of Chinese classical literature and forms a realm with strong Lyric atmosphere and symbolic meaning. "Resting garden" is obviously a symbol of the Chinese society at that time.
4、 In terms of language, it adopts a kind and gentle prose style.
Diverting garden marks the change of Ba Jin's passionate and unrestrained artistic style towards calmness, seriousness and delicacy.
