Network literature used to be a very strange thing to me, and there has been resistance in the depths of my heart. However, the existence of network literature can not be ignored, the study of contemporary Chinese literature can not be bypassed by network literature. If we want to evaluate Chinese contemporary literature, we must take network literature into account.
For some time, there has been a gap between online literature and traditional literature, as if the works of traditional writers belong to serious literature, while those of online writers belong to popular, popular and less serious works. However, with the passage of time, the line between serious literature and popular literature, traditional writing and online writing becomes more and more blurred, and the invisible wall between the two no longer exists.
This reminds me of the relationship between the Internet and the wall. When I was a child, every house in our village had several smooth walls. If the family painted the back wall of his house with lime, within a few days, the back wall would be written by children who love literature. Who fell in love with whom, this is a love novel; who eat, eat a lot of meat, drink a lot of wine, this is an anti-corruption novel. The degree of freedom of online literature is a bit like the walls of the countryside when we were young. Of course, it is wider and freer than the wall. I think the spirit of freely expressing inner feelings is consistent with online writing.
For many years, the education of literature is also a very controversial topic. Do writers and poets need to be trained? I think that since so many universities in the world have set up literature departments, there are special writing classes for writers, and so many degrees are awarded, it shows that literature still has something to teach, talk about, and learn from, and this is also an important reason for the existence of online literature universities.
I have been to the Guozi prison many times, and in the forest of steles in the southeast corner of the front yard, I have engraved a list of Jinshi of the Ming and Qing dynasties. As soon as I came here, I wanted to find Jinshi in Gaomi County and found more than a dozen. According to our county records, since the establishment of the imperial examination system, Gaomi has produced more than 190 Jinshi. In fact, it was not easy for these people who were able to pass the Jinshi examination at that time. They did not know how many hardships they had endured and how many clothes on their elbows were worn out before they won the list and engraved them on the monument. Nowadays, there are many people writing on the Internet, but not many people will eventually be able to engrave their names on the monument of literature. This requires all those who aspire to literature to study creation as hard as our ancestors, and only with such a spirit can they succeed.
