Abstract

Systematic arrangement and brief discussion of Wang Zengqi’s literary language view. On the basis of constantly summing up his creative experience, Wang Zengqi formed a relatively complete view of literary language. He established the ontology of the language of the novel, the language is the noumenon of the novel, and writing a novel is writing language. Wang Zengqi realized that Chinese characters are hieroglyphs and have four tones. Chinese people think in Chinese characters, and Chinese language is musical.He use Chinese traditional “wenqi theory” to interpret the relationship between language and syllables and the importance of syllables and words. Starting from the uniqueness of Chinese characters and Chinese, he explained the characteristics of literary language content, culture, suggestion, and fluidity. He established the aesthetic standard of literary language-plain, the only standard of language: accuracy. From the perspective of how a writer can improve the personality and artistic expression of literary language, he believes that literary language must seek language resources from spoken language, classical Chinese, and dialects, and draw nourishment from Chinese classical literature and folk literature. He advocated using four-character sentences and short sentences appropriately. On the basis of Qian Zhongshu’s promotion of opening up Chinese and Western literature, he advocated opening up contemporary literature and classical literature (national tradition), and opening up contemporary literature, classical literature, and folk literature.
