What are the characteristics of online literature compared with traditional literature?

The first is the popularization of literary creation. In traditional literary creation, the creative subject is a writer with obvious professional expertise. Their works can meet readers through newspapers and books, and their works must be selected by literary editors or publishers before publication. Because the quality of newspapers and periodicals is closely related to their subscribers and sales, publishers and editors will put forward higher requirements for the professional level of authors and the quality of their works. However, after BBS appeared on the Internet, harsh professional editors disappeared in literary forums of various websites, publishers full of profits disappeared, and the concepts of subscribers, sales volume and profits almost disappeared. There is no "threshold" for publishing works, and authors are free to upload and publish works. Even for a famous literary website like Banyan Tree, although the published works need to be reviewed by community editors, due to the enthusiasm of netizens and the popularity of the community, the review standards are relatively loose, and the capacity and space of the website are like the sea. As long as it is passable, the words are orderly, and it is not against the party and the people, it will generally pass. The Internet, a new media, provides everyone with the opportunity to express themselves freely and publish their works freely. The sacred aura surrounding professional writers in the past was blown away by the storm of electronic network technology.

Secondly, the promptness of work release and information feedback. The appearance of traditional literary works is a long process, not to mention a series of tedious links such as reviewing manuscripts, revising manuscripts, inputting, proofreading, printing and distributing. It only takes about a week for a work to be sent from the author to the editor, but the appearance of online literary works is greatly simplified. Assuming that online players and professional writers have finished their creations at the same time, when professional writers are still putting their manuscripts into envelopes according to the traditional practice, online players only need to click the mouse to "confirm". The rapidity of online literature is also reflected in readers' quick feedback on the text and timely communication between authors and readers, readers and readers. A text has just been published online, and sometimes it may only take a few minutes to see the reader's comments. Readers can express their thoughts without any worries or worries. The system always accurately shows the number of clicks, who made what comments when. When The First Intimate Contact was serialized on the BBS website of national cheng kung university, Taiwan Province, the characteristics of timely dissemination were fully reflected: at that time, hundreds of readers expressed their opinions one after another, and even many people gave advice to rascal Cai, asking him not to let the heroine die, not to make her ugly by taking medicine and so on. This kind of free writing, free publication and free communication has stimulated the writer's creative enthusiasm to the greatest extent. The first intimate contact of rogue Cai was produced at the speed of two sessions a day. In the Spring B Forum, I witnessed the whole process of the birth of the crying keyboard "Meet Tomorrow". As soon as each section is published, many netizens always read the comments for the first time, which is interactive and stimulates the author's creative enthusiasm.

The third is the liberalization of creative intention. The lofty creative purpose in the traditional concept is rapidly refreshed by the self-venting and self-entertainment of online literature. In the traditional concept of literary creation, we always emphasize the cognitive value, educational value and aesthetic value of literature, and even emphasize that literature serves politics, workers, peasants and soldiers and the people in a specific period. However, online literature intentionally or unintentionally ignores these commandments. The direct purpose of most online game players' creation is to vent and entertain themselves. Of course, as far as most online texts are concerned, the texts published by professional writers or amateur writers with high literacy are close to traditional literary works.

With the change of creative purpose, most online literary works express personal experience, while the theme of expressing the times and social spirit in traditional literature is often shelved. The depth of literature has faded, and online literature shows a very distinct tendency of extensiveness. Some online writers often write and paste at will according to their own interests, paying little attention to the artistry and rigor of their works, which makes online literature present a very strong color in form.

Fourth, new words are constantly emerging and the language style is distinct. The text version of online literature is updated quickly. Under the requirement of rapid interaction, symbols are used instead of expressions to make the language humorous, concise and more meaningful. For example,) stands for smile, while: (stands for depression; Use abbreviations instead of normal pinyin, such as MM for sister and GG for brother; Use numbers to express meaning, for example, 88 means goodbye, 55 means complaining, 526 13 14 means I love you all my life, and so on. A large number of new words not only emerge, such as frog, dinosaur, prawn, rookie, bamboo, collapse, offline, Dongdong and so on.

The network language style is mainly colloquial and humorous. The first intimate contact is a typical example. There are many ways to make a language humorous, and parody is one of them. The following is an example selected from the first intimate contact.

(1) "This is not a question of good or bad, but a question of whether it should or not. We should be the first person, not the second or third person. " "Rogue, please continue to play! The little girl listens while washing her nose. " In short, don't ask her name, "If you don't listen to sweet nothings, you will be lovelorn in front of you", understand? Rogue.

I really can't associate such a woman with dinosaurs. But if she is really a dinosaur, I'd rather let this dinosaur have a good meal. As the saying goes, it's romantic to be a ghost when a dinosaur dies.

(4) This scene, what a cool sentence!

(5) "Rogue, why do you have to praise my appearance as soon as you see me? Aren't you afraid that I think you are superficial because of this? " "What's that? Seeing beauty and praise is a man's reflex action, which is not controlled by the brain. Of course, I know it's flattering, but my clumsy mind can't stop my flexible mouth. Once my eyes come into contact with a beautiful image and pass it on to my brain, my mouth has already decided whether to praise it or not before the brain gives instructions. This is called' duplicity, brain life is not affected', also called' the arrow is on the string, I have to send it', and it makes me feel heartless instead of not praising you.

6 "Rogue, have you ever heard of the coffee philosophy? ? "....." Even if it is all coffee, it will be different because of the baking skills and the sweet, sour, mellow and bitter taste. My shoes and socks are very dark, like roasted charcoal coffee, burnt and bitter but not sour; Bell bottoms are slightly lighter in color, like mocha coffee, with unique flavor and strong acidity; Sweaters are lighter in color, like soft and delicate blue mountain coffee, mellow and exquisite; The color of my backpack is deep inside and light outside, decorated with decorations. It is like cappuccino, with fresh milk floating on the surface and charming cinnamon powder, which is sweet and rich. " "Even if it is water, it will be different due to weather conditions and cold, hot, deep, shallow and dirty environment. My shoes and socks are very black, like the Pacific ocean, deep and melancholy; Jeans are lighter and whiter, like the Arctic Ocean floating with icebergs, cold and treacherous; The shirt is light in color, like the water in an indoor swimming pool, clear and bright; The color of my schoolbag is deep outside and shallow inside, with dark green straps, just like a clear lake. There are several live fish floating on the water, with willow reflections on both sides. It is lively, but quiet and elegant. " In the above six examples, "wash your nose and listen to the smell" in example 1 and "love" in example 2 are parodies; ② ③ ④ ⑤ is a parody sentence; Example 6 is parody.

Example (1) "Wash your nose and listen" is an imitation of the idiom "listen". The rascal said rude words such as "fart", so he danced here to "deal with a man as he deals with you" and retaliated against the rascal Cai's posturing with euphemistic and elegant words, which produced a sense of humor; Example 2 parodies the sentence "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you", and there is also parody in the parody sentence. "Love saint" is a parody of words such as "poetry saint" and "martial saint". Example 3 "It's romantic to be a ghost when the dinosaur is dead" imitates the famous sentence "Peony is dead and it's romantic to be a ghost". The emotion expressed in this sentence is not that rascal Cai is willing to commit herself to an ugly woman, but that she didn't know her appearance when she met Light Dance Flying on the Internet. There is a passage in front of this sentence that can help to understand: "I really can't associate such a woman with dinosaurs." But if she is really a dinosaur, I would rather let this dinosaur have a full meal "; Example 4 "How to get a happy word in this scene" is a parody of "How to get a sad word this time" in Li Qingzhao's slow voice. Example (5) "The mouth is outside, but the brain is not affected" is a copy of Historical Records. In Xin's "Stealing the Symbol to Save Zhao", "I will be away, and the main order will not be affected"; The whole paragraph added in Example 6 is rascal Cai's imitation of Coffee Philosophy. Its structure is similar to the last paragraph, and its sentence pattern is the same as the last paragraph, which shows that rascal Cai is not to be outdone and has extraordinary talent.

The above four characteristics are only an incomplete induction, which can be discussed in depth or enumerated. Although network literature has developed rapidly, it is only a newborn and inevitably has weaknesses. Narrow subject matter is currently recognized as an epidemic of online literature. The works that were born on the Internet and returned to traditional books and periodicals are very popular, and the themes are mostly based on romance. If the first intimate contact is still fresh, then the second intimate contact and the third intimate contact will inevitably be discounted, which is related to the author's younger age. Secondly, most network writers (except professional writers who participate in it) have no deep life accumulation, which also restricts their horizons. In addition, although online literature has given more people the opportunity to show their works, if the author does not strengthen his literary literacy, it will inevitably become the standard of karaoke.

In any case, network literature, as a new way of literary existence, has brought a fresh wind to the literary world. As far as the historical law of literary development is concerned, all kinds of literature are from the initial mass creation, folk creation to literati creation, and thus mature. Although online literature is still in the stage of popular writing, with the evolution of time, traditional writers will further integrate into the network, and the network will also produce their own writers. After the new standard comes into being, online literature will further mature.
