On Cultural Consumption and Novel Production:A Talk about the Investigation to the Reading of The Common World

Viewed by quite a few investigations,Lu yao's The Common World has become one of the best-sellers in the market for the past twenty years since its publication.If the internal factors of its recognition by the market are examined from the perspective of receptive aesthetics in relation to the present novel production,the following revelations may be drawn: that,first, the writer must be provided with a sense of responsibility and vocation;that,secondly,he/she should have a common people complex,laying stress on the representation of the weak and the feeble;that,thirdly,he/she should hold high the banner of humane morality to purge the soul of the people;that,fourthly,he/she should advocate the classic realist creative method;and that,fifthly,he/she should seek for a aesthetic taste for both the refined and the common.
