A Symbolic Reading of Shen Congwen's Xiangxi World

Xiangxi world" that Shen Congwen created is a fictitious and figurative one which contains the writer's unique ideal of life and his literary aesthetic ideal. So, it is not the real objective existence, but the subjective narration. It has transcended the general ideology of literary image's world, and become the significant and valuable symbolic world.
