Creative style

Characteristics of Literature Creation Stage
Early stage: 1920-1933. In the past ten years, Yu Dafu has written 26 lyric essays and 60 or 70 argumentative essays, including "Sinking" and "Silver Gray Death", which show his feelings of hope when he returned from Japan and his sigh of infinite disappointment after seeing the devastated motherland, both his sad and pessimistic thoughts on the future of the revolution and his impassioned enthusiasm for the revolution, A radical theory of rapid shouting.
Medium term: 1933-1938. This period was a low tide of Yu Dafu's thought. Because of the white terror of the Kuomintang, he embarked on the path of passive seclusion, pursued a backward "celebrity" demeanor, and stayed back and forth in the mountains and rivers. This fully exposed his weakness - weakness and compromise - as a petty bourgeois intellectual emerging from the old feudal camp. However, we should also see that he hated the reality and did not want to collude with others to escape.
Late stage: 1938-1945. In the spring of 1938, Yu Dafu participated in the anti Japanese propaganda work of the Third Hall of the Political Department. He took part in the battle with his pen, wrote many political essays, and encouraged people to fight with his enthusiastic voice. [19]
literature The color of "autobiography" in
Without exception, Yu Dafu's prose is "self expression", and it is "autobiographical" self-expression, which is the most frank and explicit self-expression. In Yu Dafu's view, the novel has the author's autobiography, "modern prose, but also has the color of autobiography."《 Chi osmanthus 》They all use a lot of inner monologue like lyricism, description and narration, which are well arranged, sincere and deeply personal. His own prose is constructed according to this principle. He made no secret of his life experience, thoughts, feelings and hobbies, and revealed his beliefs, habits, personality and even morbid state to the world. With his own life experience and feelings, he concentrated on the spiritual depression of the young generation under the oppression and suffocation of the old society, thus forming his own unique literary characteristics. This characteristic is the sentimental sentiment of the weak, the romantic ideal of the young awakeners, and the tendency of anti oppressive democrats.
First of all, Yu Dafu strongly displays the writer's personality, which is the theoretical understanding of Yu Dafu's prose creation and his "heart of prose". He recklessly described his own thoughts and life details in detail in the article, which effectively demonstrated his unique style of "autobiography". Second, the melancholy and sentimental sentiment. Yu Dafu's prose is as distinctive as his novel. His melancholy and sentimental sentiment is deeply imprinted in his creation. Third, the self dissecting words of unbridled frankness and enthusiasm. Fourth, the tune of soul stirring poetry.
In addition, Yu Dafu's prose is a lyric way of unrestrained emotional catharsis. His prose gives out his own voice with a strong personality, full of sentimental poetry, warm and frank, without concealing the depressed mood of a talented intellectual in a troubled society, showing sadness, melancholy and beautiful Meaningful scene blending picture. [20]
literature The form and significance of sadness in
Yu Dafu is writing in the building outside
In Yu Dafu's works, his strong sadness is expressed in two forms: decadence and hatred. Since life is tasteless, natural is rigid, and self is also a waste - he can neither achieve success nor get rid of depression, Yu Dafu simply indulges himself. In his works, "Sad Travel" and "Return", we can see that he desperately vent one's instinct and try to satisfy himself in a sick state. This kind of emotion and behavior is obviously negative, which is unhealthy content in Yu Dafu's literary works, but it is not reactionary content, nor is it incompatible with the trend of thought of the times. Yu Dafu mainly uses this morbid state to vent his anger feudal ethics The anguish of young people who have awakened in the fetters but cannot find a way out. Under this unhealthy color, there is still a positive implication of the May 4th "human discovery". [21]
Yu Dafu naturally sighed that he was born at a bad time. He turned all his misfortunes, all his troubles, and all his sorrows to this dark era of warlord scuffle, and sent a whining youth complaint to an inhumane system, showing an obvious anti imperialist and anti feudal democratic trend. Although this trend is not very profound, it has a clear attitude But the strong emotion also painted the color of active fighting on this tendency.
literature The epochal significance of the sentimental tone
Although Yu Dafu is extremely sad in his literary works, he has not given up his pursuit of ideals. Whether it is when he is overwhelmed by sadness or when he almost falls into a decadent situation, there is always an ideal in his heart that tempts him. This ideal is neither lofty nor profound, but for Yu Dafu, it has a great charm of life and is the driving force for his struggle and creation, which is women's love.
In 1927, Yu Dafu wrote in his diary: "If I can get Ms. Wang (i.e Wang Yingxia ——If you love, you will be more creative later. Ah! Life is worth living, and we can still get some meaning. " [22] On the one hand, Yu Dafu's sacred and wishful emotion towards women is certainly the expression of his "self" ideal, on the other hand, it clearly reflects the discovery of the five or four people. Zhou Zuoren is here《 Human literature 》As mentioned in, the discovery of women and children is the product of modern European civilization. For China during the May 4th Movement, the praise and obsession with women was not only a manifestation of modern consciousness, but also the most direct criticism of feudal ethics. Therefore, Yu Dafu pursues women as his own ideal. Although this behavior and artistic tendency do not have the attribute of "loftiness" in strength and depth, the anti feudal democratic consciousness is clearly visible. [23]

Literary propositions

Selected Collection of Yu Dafu
In his literary creation, Yu Dafu advocates that "literary works are all autobiographies of writers". Therefore, he often takes his personal life experience as the material for the creation of novels and essays, and in his works, he unabashedly outlines his thoughts, feelings, personality and life experiences.
The representative work of Yu Dafu's autobiographical novel is "Sink". In "Sink", Yu Dafu boldly describes the sexual love and sexual psychology of men and women, and at the same time, he also sends out the cry of "Motherland! Motherland! You killed me!" "Get rich quickly! Get strong!" "You still have many children suffering there".
Yu Dafu's novel creation challenged the traditional moral concepts and initiated the lyric and romantic form of autobiographical novels, which had a profound impact on a group of young writers at that time and formed a magnificent trend of romanticism in the Chinese literary world in the 1920s and 1930s. Yu Dafu is also the first writer in the history of Chinese new literature who has published a diary when he was alive. [24]
From his novels, he found something that collided with his own soul. Those literati who dared not break with feudal morality also pointed their spearhead directly at Yu Dafu. In his autobiographical novels, Yu Dafu not only reflects the lower intellectuals Frustrated Depression In addition, some works reflect the sufferings of people at the bottom of society through the perspective of intellectuals, showing sympathy and concern for the working masses, such as《 spring fever 》《 Thin libation 》Etc. [25]

Yu Dafu's Bronze Statue
Former Chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Xia Yan Duff is a great patriot. Patriotism is the spiritual pillar of his life. [26]
Hu Yuzhi, a government activist: In the history of Chinese literature, the name of Yu Dafu will be forever engraved, and on the monument of the Chinese people's anti fascist war, the name of martyr Yu Dafu will also be forever engraved. [27]
Professor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, internationally renowned cultural researcher Li Oufan Compared with Guo Moruo's rebellious, rebellious and heroic "Prometheus type" romanticists, Yu Dafu can be said to be the representative of the negative and sentimental "Witter type". The protagonist in "Sink" can be said to fit the characteristics of this type of characters - "sentimental and neurotic", "melancholic and fatalist". [28]
Yu Dafu's son, Yu Fei: My father is a man with obvious advantages and disadvantages. He loves the country very much and is very enthusiastic about his friends. But he is too impulsive in life, so that his family and life are very unhappy. He is not a sage, but a scholar. Don't beautify him or uglify him. [29]
Yu Dafu's friend and artist Liu Haisu Duff is full of feelings, profound observation, quick thinking, and has a strong foundation in both classical and western literature. In terms of temperament, he is an outstanding lyric poet. Prose and novels are just the proliferation of poetry. His life is a long poem full of ups and downs and soul stirring. Such poets are few in the history of modern poetry. Among the new writers of literature and art, Lu Xun and Tian Han have few rivals. [2]
Modern Chinese litterateur and historian Guo Moruo : Yu Dafu's fresh style seemed to blow a spring breeze in China's withered society, which immediately awakened the hearts of countless young people at that time. His bold self exposure, for the hypocrisy of the scholar bureaucrats hidden in the back armor for thousands of years, was a storm like shock, which shocked some hypocrites and fake talents to rage. [30]
Chinese writer Shen Congwen : Yu Dafu's name, "has become the most familiar name for all young people. Everyone thinks Yu Dafu is a poor person and a friend, because everyone can find his own appearance from his works". [31]

Life and death puzzle

Yu Dafu (right) and Guo Moruo, Snow
As Yu Dafu's disappearance is too mysterious, his life and death are still a mystery. [6]
A popular saying originated on August 8, 1946, Shao Zonghan Sir, from Medan Information obtained by the intelligence service of Sumatran coalition headquarters. The news confirmed that the allied military authorities learned from the Japanese war criminals that Yu Dafu was shot by the Japanese gendarmerie on September 17, 1945. At the same time, the number of victims was still in Europe, and the remains were buried in Tanjung Gedai near Bukit Tingyi. However, there is a major doubt about this statement that is difficult to explain. That is, some researchers have read the trial records of Medan court, but they can't find any clues about Yu Dafu (Zhao Lian). If this is true, then the burial site of Yu Dafu and several Europeans killed at the same time should also be clear. However, Yu Dafu's remains could not be found in the whole Southeast Asia, so the reliability of this statement could not be confirmed. [6]

Love experience

In Yu Dafu, literature and love are mutually external and internal. The passion for love had already melted into his blood. Looking at his life, he was always flying the talent inspired by love, and then expressed it in literary creation, writing immortal chapters. Similarly, his love experience, like his famous literary works, glows with charming brilliance. In short, it has become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. [32]

Lu Xun wrote poems

Yu Dafu and Lu Xun's Portrait
Lu Xun He once wrote a poem to persuade Yu Dafu not to move because of the hardship of the world Hangzhou However, he "had a dream of Hangzhou when he was a child, and when he first came to Hangzhou, it seemed like a dream". Finally, from 1936 to 1938, Yu Dafu realized his dream of "settling down in Hangzhou". Although he only lived in Hangzhou for two years in a hurry, he drifted all his life and lived in many places. Only Hangzhou was the house, and he designed it himself.
Later, there was the famous seven verses in Lu Xun's handwriting, "Preventing Yu Dafu from Moving to Hangzhou": "King Qian still seems to be on vacation, and Wu Xiang can't be found with the waves. He calms down the Chu sun and hates the healthy man, and the hills are full of incense. General Yue is ignored in the graveyard, and the plum and crane are desolate in the scholar forest. Why does the whole family travel far away, and the wind and waves are mighty, and their feet are singing." [33]
