Why is Lao She called by Manchu people?

Among the many outstanding writers who appeared in China literary world in the 20th century, Lao She is probably the one that readers are most familiar with. His poor background, his prolific creative career, his well-known works such as Camel Xiangzi, Four Generations under One roof, Longxugou and Teahouse, and even his extraordinary life ending are all long-term discussions from ordinary people to scholars and professors. From an ordinary point of view, Lao She seems to have no mystery at all. From his life to his works, there seems to be no obstacles and blind spots for understanding.

However, things are not that simple. The author thinks that the decryption of Lao She's Black Box has achieved a lot through years of efforts in the research field, but it can't be said that it is close to the day of success. Lao She is far from being a writer who no longer has social and historical covers and cultural and artistic symbols, and can make people take in everything in a glance.

Can be seen from the readers often talk about some creative features of Lao She's works:

-always adhere to the principle of "national supremacy";

-Pay close attention to the moral and psychological trends of China people;

-always showing a strong "love Beijing" complex;

-write and be good at writing about the tragic fate of the lower class citizens in Beijing in the old society;

-especially relying on "Beijing dialect and Beijing rhyme" in language use;

Most of his works are tragedies, but his works are full of humor and elegance;

Apart from novels and dramas, he has also made great achievements in Quyi, essays, prose, new poetry and old style, opera and literary theory, and his works in these areas are always so obvious and vulgar, elegant and vulgar. ...

All these make Lao She have Lao She's characteristics, or some of them are Lao She's unique "unique skills", which most people only know without delving into. In other words, Lao She's readers and audiences probably lack of in-depth exploration and understanding of the reasons why Lao She was unique in China's literary world in the 20th century.

If we really want to thoroughly understand Lao She's artistic "black box", we researchers need to continue to make unremitting efforts. As a practitioner in the field of Lao She's academic research for many years, the author wants to put forward the relevant experience under the title of this book on the basis of personal thinking, in order to get the guidance of experts and learn from others.
