In February 1952, he was born into an ordinary peasant family in Zhouzhuang Village, Deng County, Henan Province. In 1957, he began to study in Hewan Primary School. In 1961, he finished his junior high school study and was admitted to the senior elementary school in Goulin Town, showing his love for words. When he was a senior high school student, he wrote some compositions after completing his Chinese homework, which was his earliest prose writing practice and also his literary enlightenment. At this time, I began to read novels. The first book I read was autobiographical novels《 Gao Yubao 》。
In 1967, he joined a long march tandem team to Shaoshan, walked two or three thousand kilometers, and finally arrived at Mao Zedong's hometown with his classmates. Later, he took a bus to Changsha, Zhuzhou and Shanghai. This was his first time to travel far and see the world outside Goulin Town. When I got home, I helped my family with farm work, played erhu and learned to play basketball. In the second half of 1968, the school resumed classes and made a "revolution". It was recommended by the poor, lower and middle peasants in the village to study in the third middle school. The school does not have a strict teaching system, and learning is tight and loose. It often goes to the countryside to learn agriculture, and uses the opportunity of learning agriculture to learn to drive chain track tractors.
From October to November 1970, a troop stationed in Shandong went to Deng County to recruit soldiers. A company commander named Li, who was playing basketball with Zhou Daxin and others, noticed that Zhou Daxin was 1.78 meters tall at that time and recruited him; In late December, he went to Feicheng, Shandong Province, to work as a ground artillery under the 67 Field Army. The military life opened a new chapter of his life and injected new nutrition into his writing, which became one of the themes of his novels.
In 1973, he worked as a clerk in the command company of the artillery regiment. One of the tasks of the document is to write a blackboard newspaper, and often fill in the blank space of the blackboard newspaper with poems written by yourself. During the period of writing documents, he often used the "convenience of duty" to read the "internal books" kept by the company. A lot of reading broadened his vision and laid a foundation for his future writing.
In 1976, he wrote the screenplay "Ancient Elm", but did not shoot it. The script was published in 1995. In the same year, he began to try to write novels, which was his first time to write novels. The novel describes the life of a veteran who went to Taiwan that year. In 1977, he wrote the screenplay "False Accusation", but failed to shoot it. The screenplay was published in 1995.
At the beginning of May 1978, he was notified to work in the Propaganda Department of Jinan Military Region. In the same year, he continued to write a novel about the life of Taiwan veterans, "Missing", and wrote more than 300000 words. After several changes, he failed to publish it due to lack of artistic preparation and burned the manuscript. Although his creation in the past three years has not been recognized, it is the foreshadowing of his writing.

Creation characteristics

Announce
edit

subject

Folk consciousness
Zhou Daxin, who insisted on his writing all the time in his novel creation, did not just stick to it, but deeply realized the impact of modern consciousness on traditional culture. He comes from the civilian class, always carries the feelings of civilians, and pays attention to some civilians. He writes about the life of civilians. It is his creative pursuit and embodiment to let himself write as a civilian all the time. His works always contain a simple civilian consciousness, constantly writing about the folk and reflecting folk life. His works are created in a folk narrative mode, consciously standing in the folk position and perspective to look at the colorful folk world, and show folk life with its unique folk narrative. He pays close attention to the life of the common people, is good at excavating the spiritual life world of the common people, and displays colorful civilian characters in his novels. [10]
Gender awareness
Zhou Daxin is a writer with a clear sense of gender. He can treat the women and men in his works from the perspective of gender harmony, especially consciously writing their inner world, character and destiny from the perspective of women, showing their painful pursuit of life to establish their own subjective status, and praising their brilliance in the depths of human nature. Zhou Daxin has created a series of female characters with distinctive personality in most of his works. He is good at revealing women's living conditions and unfortunate fate, showing their unremitting pursuit of independent personality, and eulogizing their spirit of dedication to achieve good ideals. Writers speak women's voices in a unique way of literary creation, so that their sleeping souls can wake up and try to find the life they want. The writer's new attitude towards female subjectivity is reflected in women's yearning for "independent personality" and their pursuit of "active sexual love". [11]
Military theme
The theme of Zhou Daxin's military novels has experienced a slow but solid evolution from starting to maturity and then to transcendence. From the passionate expression of the impulse to praise oneself to the constant maturity of humanitarian thought to the perspective of deep human nature in the context of war, based on the current realistic environment and his own inner thinking, Zhou Daxin, a military writer, expressed his modern thinking on the creation of military novels with an open creative attitude of constant self transcendence. For example, in The Legend of War, the author not only deconstructs the soldiers and the war from the perspective of human nature, but also closely focuses on the dignity of human beings, which also expresses Zhou Daxin's deepening humanitarian thought and sense of responsibility vividly. [12]

artistic characteristics

Local Ethical Narration
The narrative of family ethics in Zhou Daxin's local novels reflects the author's rational examination of kinship ethics. On the one hand, family norms, as a cultural metaphor and ethical appeal, perpetuate the family's blood and spirit; on the other hand, the tragedy of human relations caused by the autocracy of parents reveals the drawbacks of family culture that destroy human nature. In the conflict between traditional family ethics and modern civilization, the author calls for and seeks the high-quality spirit of traditional family ethics.
The love ethics narration of Zhou Da's new local novels shows the cultural tension of the separation of sex and love. The traditional marriage ethics described by the author are mostly the tolerance and maintenance of lovelessness or the inheritance and persistence of the concept of chastity; Love has no space for independent existence and is often covered or suspended by multiple pressures of career, material, power, etc; Local women pursue instinctive desire, subverting the traditional moral admonition, but they are helpless to hover on the moral edge of sex. Zhou Daxin's local novels reveal the ethical conflicts and cultural roots behind the separation of sex and love.
The narrative of interpersonal ethics in Zhou Da's new local novels describes the alienation and reconstruction of local human feelings. With the transformation of the modernity of rural China, the great changes in rural society have impacted the interpersonal relationships in the traditional countryside. The author shows the interpersonal ethical crisis in the novel, such as the indifference of human feelings with the supremacy of money and interests and the moral confusion caused by the marketization of rural politics. At the same time, through the image of rural women, Utopian salvation and religious conversion, It expresses the desire to build an ideal spiritual home under the disorder of rural interpersonal ethics. [9]
Disease narrative
Zhou Daxin's concern about the living conditions of people and his own experience of illness make him have a strong feeling of disease. Zhou Daxin's works are numerous, but throughout his creation, we can see that his description of disease has never stopped. It covers a wide range of physiological and psychological diseases, as well as the types of diseases with mild or severe degree, from anxiety and insomnia to malignant tumors, such as limb disability in Stepping out of the Dense Forest, cancer in Anhun, madness in Madness in the Old Century, and stupidity in A Tree in the Valley. Zhou Daxin showed great enthusiasm for disease in his novel. The disease types in the novel are rich, covering both the physical and mental levels. He not only focuses on the description of the symptoms of disease, but also focuses on the in-depth excavation of the social and cultural causes of disease. [13]

Zhou Daxin's novels show a complicated world in the sense of regional culture, a bottom world. In this world, people are busy and hard to live, with distinctive imprints of land, culture and race. This is the pedigree of roots and the result of the growth of the cultural tree into the deep soil. Therefore, as a national writer and a regional writer, we should be proud in today's era of global cultural integration and dialogue. (Contemporary Chinese Writers Qiu Huadong Comment) [14]
Zhou Daxin's exploration of the novel form shows a writer's enough sensitivity and understanding. In the mid-1980s, his debut novel Out of the Basin had already shown his unique grasp of form. Since then, he has constantly changed the form of the novel. In the three volume novel "Act 20", the author uses the changing and derived new meaning grid as the main clue of the novel. "Madness in the Old Century" has changed to epistolary style, and "21 Mansions" has added many pictures. At the same time, the author also attempts to make a breakthrough in the text structure, It is a useful attempt to watch the multi-level urban life and form a strong contrast with one's eyes. They show Zhou Daxin's unremitting pursuit and constant passion for art and his inexhaustible artistic inspiration. (Professor, School of Arts, Renmin University of China Liang Hong Comment) [14]
Zhou Daxin's creation is mostly based on the land where he nurtures himself -- the southwest basin of Henan Province as the background, taking the stories of mixed joys and sorrows in the history and reality of his hometown as the center of artistic review, and integrating his rational reflection on the concept, spirit and feelings of the generation who fled the land into the plot description, characterization In the construction of symbolic meanings, his novels not only exude a fresh and fresh soil flavor, but also contain the bitterness and heaviness like pathos and bitterness. After reading, they often give people an aesthetic feeling of no tears and no laughter. (Professor, College of Arts, Henan Normal University Cao Shuwen Comment) [14]
The reason why Zhou Daxin is admired and respected is not only that he has been persistently describing, expressing and praising the subject of the society, civilians, with the mentality, perspective and perspective of civilians, but also that he always shows respect for the nobility and purity of women. No matter what kind of environment he is in, most of the women in his works are beautiful, kind and holy. It can be said that Zhou Daxin is a writer who knows how to appreciate beauty, but also a writer who has broken away from low-grade tastes. However, a writer who really knows how to appreciate beauty, can share a common fate with the common people, is connected by flesh and blood, and has the same feelings, his creative potential and explosive power cannot be underestimated. This is where Zhou Daxin's weight lies. (Literary critic Lin Weijin Comment) [14]
Tracing Zhou Daxin's creative path, we will find that this is a typical "old school" Chinese writer's path. Even today, when human civilization is making great strides driven by science and technology, his works just show strength in well containing the traditional cultural spirit that our nation will always cherish. People cannot but marvel at the solemn narration, simple language and simple plot of Zhou Daxin's works. The dignified, quiet and beautiful oriental characters often flow naturally from different works unconsciously. Every serious reader can always feel the strong Chinese style and style in his works of different times, The reason is simple - his works have always well preserved the spirit of our national culture, and are our own words. (Literary critic Liang Hongying Comment) [14]
