This paper discusses the artistic features of Can Xue's works and illustrates them with examples.

With its unique writing style and narrative skills, Can Xue has formed a unique model in China literary world. Can Xue draws lessons from the western stream of consciousness and Latin American magical writing techniques, and uses a lot of symbolic techniques in her novels, which greatly opens up the spiritual field of human beings. In addition, the mystery and fear created by Can Xue's novels have also become a topic of constant discussion. Can Xue's novels, as a representative of conveying human discourse, show readers a grotesque world by symbolic means, firmly surrounding people and conveying their deep feelings of survival. Can Xue is a hot figure in China's literary world in recent years. Her novels shocked the literary world with unique personality and alternative narrative techniques, brought a whirlwind of residual snow and formed the phenomenon of residual snow in the literary world. Can Xue's novels are influenced by Latin American magical realism, western absurdity and stream of consciousness writing, and her maverick character makes her novels present a different kind of beauty. Can Xue's text outlines an absurd and irrational world a priori in a self-enclosed state. Such a text is a challenge for readers in China. What Xue's novels reveal is his fear of the times, his helplessness to the world and his sorrow for his family. Symbol means to imply another thing or a more general meaning through a specific concrete image, and make use of the similarity and connection between symbol and symbolized content under specific experience conditions to make the latter get concrete and intuitive performance. When Can Xue was a teenager, her young mind was cast an indelible shadow: her father was punished, her mother was exiled to reform through labor, her whole family was sent to work, and her grandmother died of hunger and edema in the famine years. The bad social and cultural environment has caused Can Xue's mental depression and psychological "self-division" to a certain extent, and this "self-division" unconsciously penetrated into the characters' hearts in the process of creation. After the Cultural Revolution, Can Xue began to create literature. She said, "I have too much to say about this decade and the future. I want to say it in a literary and imaginative way, because they transcend traditional consciousness and public topics. "

As for why I wrote it, Can Xue claimed that "I wrote this novel because of the incompatibility of human nature, and I will never forget revenge-emotional revenge, especially when I first started writing."

Dai Jinhua once called Can Xue's novel world a "nightmare-ridden hut".

5。 The reason why there is a nightmare is that it "reminds people of the" China years "in the field of exclusion and criticism, especially the nightmare years in the" Cultural Revolution "era.

Ye Hongsheng, a Taiwan Province-born writer, after reading Can Xue's novel "The Cabin on the Mountain", thinks that this novel expresses symbolically "the people and events from 1957 anti-rightist movement to the Cultural Revolution".

7。 When talking about the reasons for the expansion of the influence of Can Xue's novels, Wu Liang also pointed out: "Her novels often reveal deep memories of the social darkness during the Cultural Revolution. This highly deformed memory and paranoid treatment of sleepwalking often make the novel in a wonderful and abnormal atmosphere. "

We can clearly see the information of "Cultural Revolution" in the novel from numerous discussions about Can Xue. To truly understand Can Xue and the symbols in her novels, we must contact the situation during the Cultural Revolution. Can Xue seems to have been tirelessly describing the memory of the Cultural Revolution and the wasted years. Can Xue constructs a symbolic system in her novels, which includes three levels: one is the symbol of concrete images, the other is the symbol of environmental description, and the third is the symbol of objects.
