Today, among all kinds of novels describing the countryside, in terms of the artistic achievements of Marriage of a Young Black, no writer has written more than Marriage of a Young Black in the past 77 years. For young readers, you may find this novel rustic, just like a village girl who has never been out of the village, still wearing coarse clothes and coarse cloth shoes with a wild flower in her braid.
But just like this, it is rooted in rural real life, describes the rural scene of that particular era, and summarizes all the living things in the countryside in the evolution of the old and new times. Therefore, to appreciate and feel the colorful connotation of this novel, we must first understand the background of that era.
This paper expounds the practical significance of rereading the classic Little Black Marriage recently from these five aspects.
The background of Xiaohe's marriage: classic novels have their political significance. Without politics, they are out of the times. How do they impress readers?
1. Time background
The border region mentioned in the novel is 194 1 July. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, after the state cooperated with the Eighth Route Army regime, it was the largest base area in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Relying on Taihang Mountain, the border region connects Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Shanxi provinces.
The troops are the Eighth Route Army129th Division under the command of Liu Deng, and the border area base area is constantly expanding in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. In order to manage and transform villages in more than 90 counties in the border area/Kloc-0, the government of the border area sent village heads to each village to carry out anti-feudal ideas in land reform and carry out the New Deal in the border area. In a vigorous revolution, the remnants of gangs and evil forces in the village were eliminated and fruitful results were achieved.
Xiao erhei and Xiaoqin, two new figures and frontier youths, came into being under such a background. The Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region/KLOC-0 was abolished in August, 948, and the North China People's Government was established during the War of Liberation.
It is also the implementation of the military and civilian movements, new ideas, new cultures and new laws carried out by the border area staff in rural areas that led to the "blue sky and blue land in the liberated areas"; It is precisely because there are more enterprising rural youths like Xiao erhei and Xiaoqin that they have become the source of the Eighth Route Army. Later, Marshal Chen Yi lamented that the "Huaihai Campaign" was launched by a former migrant worker with a unicycle.
2. Political significance
Xiao erhei got married when Zhao Shuli was engaged in propaganda work in the border defense organs. Under the background of watching plays, reading, reading newspapers and listening to books are the only farmers in the border area who can receive education. Zhao Shuli created a large number of Quyi texts. In the process of creation, the novel "Marriage of Little Black Boys" will certainly have the significance of political propaganda.
Some writers always pretend to be lofty and think that literary works should stay away from politics. However, if people want to write literature, they must record the times. Everyone lives in politics. Without politics, how can they write the times? Even the mythical novel The Journey to the West is a metaphor for politics.
Not to mention classic realistic novels such as Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There are 108 heroes in the Water Margin. Who is not bullied by the court or local powerful bullies and forced to revolt? During the Three Kingdoms, the governors of all walks of life fought for years, didn't they all make a fuss about the court at the end of the Han Dynasty? Novel, a text called historical addendum, is always a vassal of politics. Whether the author admits it or not is the author's personal opinion.
Therefore, personally, the politics of the times is the artistic life of novels, and literary works rooted in the times have vitality.

For the synopsis of the novel story, it is suggested to read the original text three times to understand what language art is.
In the 1940s, Liu, a farmer in Qianzhuang, Liu Jiaqin, a rural area in southern Shanxi, was nicknamed Er Zhuge, and San Xiangu, a peasant woman in Houzhuang, were all well-known figures in nearby villages. Their fame stems from: Two Zhuge believed in Yin and Yang gossip, and he had to count everything with his fingers broken; Third Fairy always plays practical jokes on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and also invites God to see a doctor at the altar.
A young couple, Xiao erhei, the son of Zhuge Er, and the daughter of the Third Fairy, fell in love freely and were opposed by their parents. The reasons for Zhuge Liang's opposition are: first, the birth dates of his son and Qin Xiao are inconsistent; Second, the three fairies had many affairs and had a bad reputation. They got a child bride for Xiao erhei, but Xiao erhei refused to accept it. The main reason why the Third Fairy opposed Qin Xiao's marriage with Xiao erhei was that she had always been coquettish and liked Xiao erhei, so she asked the media to tell Qin Xiao about an old retired officer who had lost his wife, but Qin Xiao refused.
Farmers in Liujiajiao area have done a lot of evil because of the former village officials, and the new government in border areas has chosen village officials without any serious people doing anything. Jin Wang Wang Xing, a bully in the village, saw this opportunity to seize power and volunteered to be village officials. The villagers naturally chose these two men. They nominated Xiao erhei as the captain of the village youth resistance army. Xiao erhei's father Zhuge didn't want to, but he couldn't anger Wang Jin and didn't dare to tell anyone.
Jin Wang is popular, relying on the title of village official, hiding from the village chief sent by the district, and doing all the bad things. Wang Jin is greedy and handsome. When Qin Xiao is alone at home, he comes to flirt with Qin Xiao. When Qin Xiao drove him away, he held a grudge against Xiao erhei, the object of Qin Xiao.

The village cadres held a training meeting, but Xiao Er, the captain of the youth anti-malaria team, didn't come. Wang Jin and Wang Xing discussed that Xiao Erhei would seduce Xiao Qin, and if he didn't come to training, he sent someone to tie Xiao Erhei up and fight. Jean Wang Jin's wife, who is the chairman of the village women's rescue association, said that Qin Xiao had corrupted the atmosphere in the village and tied them together to fight. After the village head knew it, he told Wang Jin and Wang Xing that Xiao erhei really had malaria, and it was no problem to fall in love with Xiao Qin. Stopped this struggle.
Wang Jin, who bears a grudge, secretly watches Xiao erhei and Xiao Qin. Xiao erhei and Xiao Qin discussed how to deal with their parents, how to go to the cave near the village where they got the license in the district, arrest Xiao erhei and Xiao Qin again and send them to the district for prosecution.
At this time, the district just investigated Wang Jinhe's evil deeds and locked up two hooligans who framed Xiao erhei and Xiao Qin. Two Zhuge and three fairies were summoned to criticize and educate them on their interference in young people's free love, so that they could realize their mistakes.
People from the district came to Liujiajiao for trial of Jin Wang Wang Xing. According to the evil deeds committed by Jin Wang Wang Xing, he was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment by the border government.
Xiao erhei and Xiao Qin got married and had a happy reunion.

Tell me about two characters in the novel who can't help laughing.
1. Third Fairy: A scum man without motherhood is jealous of his daughter Qin Xiao. See how the writer Zhao Shuli tells the story of the third fairy in his novel:
Three fairies love young people, and young people love Qin Xiao. Xiao erhei, a child, is fresh fruit in the eyes of the three immortals. Unfortunately, if he eats one more celery, he loses his share. She wanted to find a husband-in-law for Qin Xiao, but she almost didn't want to marry her because of her bad reputation. After the fight, it was rumored that Xiao erhei wanted to marry Xiao Qin freely. If she wants that, she can't even tell Xiao erhei a joke in the future. It's too bad, so she asked Lucy to find Xiao Qin's husband's family.
In The Marriage of Little Black Boys, the writer Zhao Shuli didn't write the names of the three fairies, but only Yu Dafu's wife, which also accords with the subordinate position of women in feudal society. Sanxiangu,/kloc-married into the Yufu family at the age of 0/5, attracted a large group of young men in Qianzhuang hou zhuang because of her handsome appearance and romantic nature.
Gompa couldn't stand it any longer, scolded these youths and ran away. But the third fairy was lying in bed angry and didn't eat or drink, so she had to ask the goddess to exorcise evil spirits. But the third fairy was entangled in the fairy and tilted. On the fifteenth day of each month, she invited the gods to go down to the altar. Since then, the Third Fairy has continued her witch career. That is:
I am forty-five, but I prefer to be an old man. My little shoes are still being embroidered, my trouser legs are still being repaired, and my hair on the top door is also taken off and covered with a black handkerchief. Unfortunately, the official powder didn't smooth the wrinkles on my face, and it looked like frost on donkey dung eggs.
Witches like Sanxiangu still exist in today's vast rural areas, and some people even go to the witch for medical treatment. There are also many young people in the crowd seeking medical advice. Why do these superstitions still exist in the Internet age when Zhao Shuli castigated and mocked witches more than 70 years ago, and today when scientific and technological information is highly developed and prosperous more than 70 years later?
Today, how should we eradicate the soil of feudal superstition? This is also the task and mission of art forms in our literary and artistic works today.

2. Er Zhuge: Are there no feudal paternalistic figures in rural areas now?
In today's rural areas, almost every village has idealistic superstitions like Er Zhuge, who "fingers count" and "believes in geomantic omen". For example, building a house, please look at home; Bury people, ask people to look after graves, and so on. Of course, farming depends on the weather like Zhuge Liang. There are really few people who are "not suitable for planting". However, there are many similar figures in the countryside, such as Zhuge Liang in the novel The Marriage of Little Black Boys.
There are also many "patriarchal systems" like Zhuge Liang in the countryside. Men are preferred to women, power is preferred to farmers, farmers are inferior, and people who want to turn over and become citizens, including arranged marriages, still exist. Let's talk about tutoring! For example, to encourage children to study, there is always a saying: I can enjoy some happiness by studying hard, getting into a good university and being an official. And so on, isn't this the ideological legacy of the feudal patriarchal clan system of Er Zhuge?
Therefore, the novel Marriage of Little Black Boys is still out of date and has its practical significance.
3. I can endure reading because the writer Zhao Shuli's description of the characters in the novel is consistent in detail: the three immortals and two Zhuge are so vivid, which is entirely due to the writer Zhao Shuli's understanding of rural life.
Let's start with the third fairy: like an old face with frosted donkey dung eggs, trying to seduce a young man. As a result, she found that the young man who came to her house was pursuing her daughter Qin Xiao, so she was jealous. Based on a series of actions of the Third Fairy, she asked the media to marry Qin Xiao.
The novel also wrote:
When Qin Xiao was two or three years old, he was very clever. There is this one in the old photo frame of Third Fairy, and that one says "mine". Later, when Qin Xiao was five or six years old, she knew it was not a good word. Sanxian taught her to say, "If anyone says it again, you can say' it's your aunt'." I said it several times, but no one mentioned it again.
Such rural scene narration still exists now, and it cannot be fabricated without a rich foundation of rural life. Xiao erhei fell in love with Xiao Qin and was taken away by Wang Jin, a bully village official. Three Immortals went to see Er Zhuge's theory:
Before Zhuge could see who it was, the Third Fairy said, "Liu Xiude! Give me my daughter back! Where did your child seduce my daughter? Give it back to me ... "Zhuge's wife was very angry. When she saw that it was the Three Immortals, she jumped down from the kang and grabbed her and said," It's good that you are here! Help me stop looking for you! Your mother and daughter seduced my children seriously, and you have the nerve to come to me! The two of us will go to the district to argue! " Two women rolled into a ball. ...
The third fairy went to Zhuge Liang's theory and even wrestled with her wife, not for the happiness of her daughter Qin Xiao at all; It is "showing off her ability to be angry" and "hiding people's eyes and ears." She knows she's a mother, too? "Qin Xiao was very happy to lose," so she went home and slept peacefully.
Let's talk about Er Zhuge: As a feudal parent, Er Zhuge loved Xiao Erhei. Xiao erhei was nominated by Wang Jin as the captain of the youth resistance team, but he didn't want to. Naturally, he is worried about the safety and reputation of Xiao erhei. Looking for a child bride for Xiao erhei, I don't agree with my son dating Xiao Qin, because the eight characters don't match and I'm worried about my son; Third Fairy's bad reputation affected his face and, of course, his son's future.
Er Zhuge's feudal patriarchal behavior of protecting calves reached its climax when Xiao erhei was tied up. So that he was summoned to the district, he also gave a little "grace" and asked the cadres in the district to protect Xiao Erhei.
