Brief Introduction to the Artistic Features of Lin Yuan

I summarize the artistic features of Linhai as follows.

1. The works show the ever-changing revolutionary struggles in various historical periods since the democratic revolution from different sides and angles, and create a number of heroic figures.

2. Epic pursuit, revealing historical essence and grand structure, adding significant historical facts to artistic fiction, shaping heroes and praising heroism.

Heroic Narration and Romantic Tradition

Most of the novels in the "Seventeen Years" tend to be historical narration, and the historical narration in this period has the possibility of continuing the legendary tradition under the general aesthetic temperament of drawing lessons from national forms and being endowed with revolutionary idealism.

3. The theme is of extraordinary importance in the seventeen-year novel creation, and even determines the nature of the novel. Lin Hai belongs to revolutionary historical novels.

4. Lin Hai takes into account historical facts, legends and popularity. When writing, I try to be close to the national style in terms of structure, language, expression of characters, and combination of emotion and scenery. I did this to let more workers, peasants and soldiers see the deeds of the detachment. In brackets are Qu Bo's original words.

5. Linyuan obviously imitates the romantic tradition in terms of structure, language and characters, and Linyuan is more folk because of its romantic tradition.

Lin Yuan is a novel written in a specific historical background (it should be in the late 1950s and early 1960s).

I remember that the novels at that time seemed to be called seventeen-year novels, including defending Yan 'an, Flying Tigers, Linhai Xueyuan, Red Flag Spectrum, Song of Youth and so on. Their writing characteristics are similar.
