? China has always been a country dominated by agricultural civilization, and the tradition of China's literary theme is almost the tradition of rural areas. As early as in China's classical literature, local literature has developed to a fairly developed level, forming a self-sufficient artistic system characterized by elegance, calmness, simplicity and euphemism. However, strictly speaking, China local literature came into being in China's modern literature. Because before this, modern urban culture was enough to conflict with the big theme of local literature. The concept of China local literature in a truly modern sense was first put forward by Lu Xun in the early 1930s. Lu Xun was based on the contest between Ai Xian and Wang Xian at that time. China New Literature magazine describes the creative characteristics of young writers in the Literature Research Association represented by Fan and Xu. Two novels? In the Introduction, "local literature" was used to refer to this kind of works for the first time, which was immediately accepted by the literary world. There are also many studies on local literature in the history of China studies, but most of them look at works from writers and writers from works, ignoring the misunderstanding and direction of creation from the times. The research of this paper is different from the traditional emphasis on writers and works while ignoring environmental factors. Instead, I try to think about the conflict between the old and new environment and the new and old culture, and look for the reasons as a whole, so as to answer the question of where China's modern local literature writing is going. First, the development status of contemporary local literature in China. China's rural literature, which has experienced more than one hundred years' history, has developed from a simple description of rural themes to a complex field today, which is more the product of urbanization, industrialization and modernization. Local novels are also developed in this conflict between old and new environment and culture. After the reform and opening up, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the rural areas of China, and many outstanding local literature writers have been born. They have created a large number of rural works through novels, essays, poems and other forms, and outstanding works such as Ordinary World, White Deer Plain, Shaanxi Opera and Justin have appeared. 2 1 century, the central government put forward the construction of "new countryside", and the rural areas in the strict sense of writers' works and hearts will no longer exist, but few writers can actively and calmly face and accept this change, and local literature creation is facing difficulties and embarrassment in creation. ? At present, the countryside is undergoing profound changes, and farmers in the new era are experiencing unprecedented profound changes in their production and lifestyle, ideological concepts and spiritual pursuits. Similarly, if literature wants to get the theme of local literature with the characteristics of the times, it can't stay in the past creative experience and literary tradition. Traditional local literature creation will face the problem of transformation, and the writer's strangeness to the current countryside is obvious. Among them, mainly in:? First, the theme of local literature works cannot be developed. From September Fable and Maqiao Dictionary in the early 1990s to recent works such as Shaanxi Opera and Stupid Flowers with Fat Chest and Buttock, it can be seen that the current local literature creation has made great breakthroughs compared with the past realistic creation, but it still continues the previous theme. Literary creation of rural themes often falls into a typed and stylized writing state, and excellent works are naturally rare. In fact, the theme development of rural themes is not a dilemma. How to write the three rural issues from a modern perspective and expression? Write about the construction of new countryside? Write about urban and rural changes? Write about the problems of urban civilian life? And so on, the theme of creation is still rich and colorful, which requires writers to go deep into the rural environment first. ? Secondly, pseudo-local literature occupies a considerable space. In recent years, many "new local writers" who are engaged in "new local writing" have alienated the real rural life excessively and fallen into a morbid expression mode. Writers have mixed the present urban experience with the past local experience, creating a strange "mixed" theme. As a result, great changes have taken place in the narrative form and narrative strategy of local literature creation, which is completely different from the local literature creation techniques before the 1980 s, but it is this change that highlights their serious lack of understanding of the current countryside. What's more, the current local literature creation is just copying some existing living resources, and spiritual exploration is absent in its creation, which stems from the weakening of the writer's public consciousness under the strong market impact. Paying attention to the current farmers' problems, and more importantly, how to understand and grasp the current rural conditions and spiritual and social problems, is a common confusion for writers in the social transformation period. In contrast, for writers, "how to write" the current countryside is undoubtedly a more realistic problem. ? Third, local writers cannot update. Throughout today's literary world, most middle-aged and elderly writers engaged in rural novels have become famous. Although they come from the countryside, they have their own ideas and reflections on society and life. However, their thinking about the countryside is still based on their experiences in the 1970s and 1980s, or even longer ago. Their creative source is the deep-rooted memory of teenagers, which is far from the current rural situation. Of course, they are also experiencing life and often go to the countryside for a walk, but as the most profound source behind literary creation, it is in-depth experience, not a cursory understanding. Most of these writers have become famous, and their lives are relatively comfortable. The field and depth of their experience of rural life have become quite narrow or even closed. Resulting in insufficient creative depth. Therefore, it seems that they are revealing the rural life at the bottom in their works, but they are often unable to do so, and their contents are gradually outdated, losing their vitality and lacking contact with real life. The literary lovers who really come out of the bottom rural areas are more influenced by the trend of popular culture and engage in literary creation of other themes. Some writers who really want to engage in local literature creation lack the necessary encouragement and guidance, and it is often difficult to have excellent works. ? On the other hand, it is difficult for creators to touch the reality of rural life, which is also influenced by the rhythm of today's society. In the final analysis, it is the impact of the process of human civilization and the lack of response to the cultural conflicts between the old and new environments. Today's society is changing rapidly, so is the literary world. Second, the difficult choice between local literature and urban literature. After entering the 2 1 century, the central government carried out "urbanization" construction, and the vast rural areas gradually entered urbanization. Cities and villages are always based on the opposite model of modernity and tradition. This "either-or-another" thinking mode often makes local literature fall into a dilemma between the city and the countryside. The opposition between urban and rural living environment makes people in a dilemma more eager to build a spiritual home with local spirit. This should have been an opportunity for the development of local literature, but most creators failed to seriously study and analyze the specific requirements brought about by this reality and fell into impetuous writing. Some local writers even turned to the ranks of writers describing cities. ? From the countryside to the city, the countryside has become the opposite of the city, and from the city to the countryside, the city has become the opposite of the countryside. This binary "either-or" thinking mode makes the expression of local literature fall into a dilemma between the city and the countryside. On the one hand, the progress, modernity and civilization of the city make people eager to enter the city. From the backward countryside to the city, people are full of yearning for modernization, but once they really enter the city, the noisy and tired city life is not satisfactory. On the other hand, the naivety, nature, tradition, simplicity and primitive wildness of the countryside make people in the city eager to return to the countryside. The countryside has become the dream of most urban people. In fact, they think very well about the countryside, but they just find that they can't find the way to find their dreams. First, because modern people's consciousness makes it difficult for them to adapt to the backwardness and ignorance brought by modern civilization's inability to enter the countryside; Second, today's countryside has been destroyed beyond recognition by modernization, which makes them unbearable and unacceptable. Local literature narrates the phenomenon of cities and villages from opposite positions, reveals the survival dilemma of modern people, and reflects the national survival and cultural dilemma. At the same time, it also conveys a message: modern people are eager to return to the true local spirit. With the development of modern civilization, the unique charm of the city is also obvious. Under the background of China's modernization, a city means civilization, an opportunity to change one's destiny, a superior lifestyle and a modern lifestyle. This point has been fully demonstrated in Lu Yao's life. Cities are symbols of progress, hope, light, modern civilization and modernization. The city is where the light and hope lie, and the corresponding countryside is the symbol of backwardness, occlusion, ignorance, darkness, old agricultural civilization and traditional culture. People often make progress by escaping from the countryside and traditions, so they leave the countryside and go to the city, taking being able to enter the city as their highest ideal. Local literature is often entangled in the conflict of this theme, which seems to be the choice between tradition and modernity. In essence, it reflects that many writers can't think about the creation of local literature from an objective angle, but fall into impetuousness and anxiety about this conflict.
