Journal: Arts Studies and Criticism DOI: 10.32629/asc.v6i1.3586
Abstract
White Deer Plain is a classic Chinese novel from the 1990s. Since its publication, scholars have conducted extensive research on the novel from various perspectives, yielding fruitful results. However, the narrative line from the perspective of "Mr. Zhu" in White Deer Plain has rarely been explored. This paper takes it as the research focus, delving into the narrative characteristics and underlying causes of this feature in the novel. By analyzing this artistic trait, we can better understand the significance of "Mr. Zhu" in the overall structure of the novel, as well as gain deeper insight into Chen Zhongshi's creative philosophy and the profound depth of his work.
