What are the differences between remote "border towns" and cities in secular life? Say at least three o'clock

Border Town is the representative work of Shen Congwen's novels, and it is an excellent novella that expresses local feelings in the history of China literature. Based on the tea cave in the border town of Sichuan and Hunan in the 1930s, it depicts the unique customs of the Xiangxi border region with beautiful strokes of lyric poetry and prose. The love tragedy of Cui Cui, a boatman girl, highlights the goodness and beauty of human nature and the clarity and purity of the soul. It attracted many readers at home and abroad with its unique artistic charm and vivid local customs, and also established the special position of Border Town in the history of modern literature in China.

Border Town has entrusted Shen Congwen's aesthetic ideals of "beauty" and "love", and it is one of his works that can best express the beauty of human nature. By describing the love tragedy of Xiangxi's daughter and lover Nuo, this novel reflects the painful fact that Xiangxi people can't grasp their own destiny in the face of "nature" and "personnel". So is Cui Cui, and so is Cui Cui's mother. They repeated their sad and desolate lives from generation to generation, but they couldn't find a way to get rid of this fate.

Through the love tragedy Border Town, Shen Congwen reveals the mystery of the fate of the characters and praises the innocent hearts of the border people. As for the theme of Border Town, in Shen Congwen's own words, "I want to show a' life form', a' beautiful, healthy and natural' life form that does not contradict human nature". "Border Town" takes the love between the granddaughter of the old man who supports him and Tianbao and Nuo, the two sons of the boatman, as a clue, and expresses the yearning and pursuit of rural life. If this quiet life is compared with the turbulent society at that time, it is simply a "paradise" out of the dust. People living in this paradise are full of primitive, inner and essential "love". It is precisely because of this kind of "love" that "when several fools and ordinary people are implicated in a place by an ordinary person, everyone deserves a piece of sadness and joy, which once properly interpreted the word" love "for mankind".

Border Town expresses the beauty of human nature by describing the pure love between young men and women, the sincere love between grandparents and grandchildren, and the kindness and mutual love between neighbors. The author wants to dilute the darkness and pain of reality and eulogize an ancient human nature and lifestyle symbolizing "love" and "beauty" through the love tragedy of Nuo. He Nuo bid farewell to the young people he deeply loved, neither pledging eternal love, being very much in love, nor doing anything out of line, nor trading power and money covered in copper, only the natural feelings between men and women bred in the primitive countryside, as fresh and healthy as flowers in the sun. The author not only warmly praised the way the two young people treated "love", but also enthusiastically eulogized the nobleness of Xiangxi people's behavior and the beauty of their souls.
