Aesthetic characteristics of mobile phone literature

Mobile phone literature (also known as "short message literature") is called "literary snack" in the digital media era. It began to rise in China around 2002 and flourished in 2004. In the first half of 2004, Guangdong writer Qian Changfang created the first short message (serial) novel Outside the City, which was bought by Beijing Huayou Century Communication Co., Ltd. at a high price of 6.5438+0.8 million yuan. This novel is only 4200 words, but it retains the long structure and is divided into 60 articles with 70 words each. The content of the novel is to write "the scenery outside the besieged city", that is, "two lovers walk out of the besieged city and encounter an unreasonable passion without moral and legal support outside the city". The appearance of Outside the City has broken the limitation of mobile entertainment content, greatly broadened the development space of "thumb culture" and directly extended popular writing from online literature to the field of mobile phone short messages. At the same time, it is discussed theoretically. Since 2003, domestic newspapers and periodicals have published research articles on mobile phone short message literature. Representative works include: Ge's Thumb Culture Short Message Literature (Literary Newspaper July 2003 10), Ye Congrong's On the Basic Features of Short Message Literature (Journal of Guangzhou University No.4, 2004), Xing Konghui's On the Characteristics of Short Message Literature (Journal of Qiongzhou University No.6, 2004) and Liu's Cultural Interpretation of Short Message. Shang Ting's On the Literary Legitimacy and New Quality of Short Message Literature (Journal of Yuncheng University, No.4, 2005), Chen Honglian's On Short Message Literature (Journal of taiyuan normal University, No.4, 2005) and Li Cun's On It. Short message literature: the race of new literature under the background of new technology (No.22 of middle school Chinese in 2005), mobile phone short message: a new opportunity for the development of modern poetry in China by Zeng Hongwei (No.6 of 2005), short message by Xie (the spirit of the fifth media) and how far can short message literature go by Yang (reading and writing in 2005) Zhong's The Characteristics and Value of Mobile Phone Short Messages Liu Yunchun's Rhetorical Narrative Analysis of Short Messages (Contemporary Literature, No.2, 2006) and Wu's Short, Flat and Fast: On the Literary Characteristics of Short Messages (Writing, No.6, 2006). There are many kinds of short message texts, besides a lot of practical information, there are many literary short messages. These short messages are meaningful, which can not only convey information, but also express friendship and communicate emotions, reflect people's spiritual demands and social fashion, and express people's emotions, opportunities and innocence to the fullest. The cultural connotation carried by short messages makes it increasingly become a way of cultural existence in modern society. For the aesthetic characteristics of mobile phone short message literature, researchers have a variety of generalizations, such as "short form, flat content and fast communication", that is, "short, flat and fast" constitute the most remarkable characteristics of current short message literature (Wu); "Language is refined, implicit, profound and philosophical" (Li Cun); "Vivid language, short and pithy, folk and secular, convenient circulation" (Yang); "Phrases, laughter and resonance" (Wang Yichuan); "Smart feelings and humorous wisdom", "Piecewise concise expression", "barrier-free production and communication" (bell) and so on. The "literature" orientation of mobile phone literature lies in whether it can obtain literary aesthetic effect by using literary techniques and rhetorical devices, and then explore the new literary quality of mobile phone short messages on the premise of confirming its literary legitimacy.
