Warm expression in living documentary

——The artistic expression of Yang Jiang's prose "We Three"

Abstract: It is generally believed that Yang Jiang's prose is straightforward, There is no artistic skill, but in "The Three of Us", artistic techniques such as the combination of reality and reality, clever suspense, background interweaving, and detailed description are used, which produces a strong artistic appeal. Yang Jiang is known as "the outstanding female essayist in mainland China in recent decades"①, and "The Three of Us" is the pinnacle of her prose creation. "The Three of Us" is a documentary prose mainly about his daughter Qian Yuan, but the expression techniques are diverse, such as the combination of virtual and real, suspense setting, background interleaving, scenery contrasting, detailed description, etc., which make the work The ups and downs and swaying shapes not only create an artistic situation of loneliness, helplessness, desolation and sorrow, but also create a life atmosphere of peace, relief and joy. Even the details in life shine with a warm and charming brilliance under her style of writing. .

It is generally believed that Yang Jiang's prose is straightforward and without artistic techniques, but in "The Three of Us", he uses an artistic technique that combines fiction and reality. The first two parts use a dreamy technique, which is fictitious writing, and the third part is real writing. , the contrast between virtuality and reality, truth and falsehood, makes the work have great artistic appeal. The specific manifestations are as follows: using the real view to appear fictitiously and appearing looming, and using the fictitious view to make the real concealment appear apparent, etc. The second part is fictitious throughout the whole article. In this part, the technique of seeing the fictitious with reality and showing and concealing is used. This part uses two clues, light and dark. The bright line is the disappearance of Qian Zhongshu, the search for Qian Zhongshu, and the visit to Qian Zhongshu. This is the clue that runs throughout. The hidden thread is about Qian Yuan's condition. The author cares about Qian Yuan and writes about Qian Yuan's illness through dreams at night, such as light dreams, heavy dreams, fatigue dreams, nightmares, painful dreams, etc., and then writes about the things in the dreams. The situation was told to Qian Zhongshu during the visit. In this way, on the surface, it seems that it is visiting Qian Zhongshu and writing about Qian Zhongshu, but in fact, it highlights Qian Yuan's character and situation. The interweaving of light and dark, and the use of real writing to express the fictional content, while the real content is in a secondary position, shows the Qian Yang couple's pride in their daughter's ability to "strengthen her parents and surpass her ancestors". At the same time, the author's heart has lost his beloved daughter. The sad emotions of heartbreak, blood and tears are vividly expressed.

Zhang Jimian pointed out: "Being and non-being, movement and stillness, truth and falsehood, complexity and simplicity, concealment and manifestation, form and spirit, etc., all reflect the relationship between reality and emptiness. What is mentioned here The existence, movement, truth, complexity, manifestation, and form mostly belong to the category of reality; nothingness, tranquility, falseness, simplicity, concealment, and spirit are mostly classified as imaginary aspects. Literary works and even all works of art are complementary to the two. "For practical purposes." According to the above point of view, the description of events and scenery in the work is also a relationship between reality and fiction. Yang Jiang's prose descriptions of scenery are rare, but in "We Three", he describes the cold willows on the post road five times. Among them, the description when he learned that his daughter had an incurable disease is the most representative. The author wrote: "I drag my tired footsteps up and down the ancient post road every day. When A Yuan was hospitalized, the willows were all bare. Now, the overcast willow leaves have begun to fall. Every day, I carry my own shadow, walking on the fallen leaves. , walk carefully step by step, and walk endlessly." ② The author's virtual arrangement of this scene is very clever. It makes us think about the changes of willow trees throughout the year, withering and prosperity. This year's cold willows can still change next year. It turns into a green willow, but people can never be resurrected! It makes us deeply appreciate the sad state of mind of an octogenarian walking alone, exhausted mentally and physically, helpless and helpless. The fallen leaves on the ground, the bare cold willows, this lonely figure, facing this situation, think about the three of us, think about the happiness of the three of us, who can not add more misery and not feel sad? A feeling of desolation? I am so sad that the three of us are separated! This "virtual" brings us to the "real" place, which is more powerful than chattering narratives. It is true that "silence here is better than sound." This "virtual stroke" highlights the author's desolate state of mind, making the work more subtle and meaningful artistic connotation.

"The Three of Us" gives readers a sense of doubt, panic and danger. The generation of this sense of doubt, panic and danger mainly relies on the author's superb skill of setting up suspense layer by layer. This technique is mainly shown in the second part.

"⑩Here, Balzac firmly believes that details will determine the success or failure of the work.

In "The Three of Us", the most prominent ones are the details used to express Yuan Yuan's character. It is written that she "investigates things to gain knowledge." Write about her intelligence: When she was two and a half years old, she sat face to face with her little cousin and listened to her read "Reading Pictures and Letters". When the author bought this book for her, "Yuanyuan immediately turned the book over and read it from the beginning to the end. "Every word is good" was edited. It turned out that Yuanyuan sat opposite her little cousin every day and all the words she recognized were reversed. The author also wrote about the eldest sister's praise of Yuanyuan, "She knew it just by looking at it." , no need to review and remember everything." Dad also said, "'Photographic memory' is a myth. Emphasis on emotions: Yuanyuan burst into tears when she heard her grandpa say, "Move out, and there will be no more pain for grandpa." "She stood next to grandpa's seat, shedding big drops of hot tears, soaking the cover of grandpa's linen trousers with hot tears." Rolling. Well-behaved and sensible: When she saw that her mother still had a large stack of textbooks to correct and could not play with her, she "with a little tear in her eyes, stretched out her tender fist, and pretended to hit the textbooks" and rolled her eyes. Once, a Kuo students brought a big basket of white-sand loquats. When you eat the white-sand loquats, they melt in your mouth and are full of water. They feel delicious when you listen and look at them. Yuanyuan has never eaten them before, but the author dare not let her eat them because of her weak stomach. She was playing next to me, and "suddenly I saw her coming over and tugging at the corner of my clothes, with a small tear hanging in her eye." Everyone felt ashamed. Who could see her small tear and not feel sorry for her? . The description of several details highlights Yuanyuan's intelligence, cuteness and cuteness. In addition, the descriptions of the characters of Zhongshu, father, father, eldest sister, fourth aunt, etc. are also very vivid and interesting. The author uses detailed descriptions with clear priorities and flexible and diverse techniques. The most outstanding thing is that the author is good at choosing typical details to make the description fresh and interesting. For example, the author's detailed description of daddy chose his cries and the way he talks and does things. Dad never cared about whether the other person sounded pleasant when he spoke. This is his usual style. "Daddy sleeps day and night. When he occasionally gets something from reading in the middle of the night, he wakes up Jianru and teaches him his experience." He was really a cute father like a child. The language is concise and expressive. In addition, Zhongshu made milk, black tea and bread for breakfast, and was excited to strike a match for the first time in his life. He was helpless in doing "bad things" clumsily. He loved reading and playing word games but not traveling. He was unwilling to interact with " The details such as shaking hands with "Chiang Kai-shek" (Chiang Kai-shek) and ridiculing himself as a "borrowing idiot" are also very expressive, allowing us to see another side of him that few people know and feel the wisdom of this man who has learned both Chinese and Western knowledge in life. And the principles and moral principles of life.
