Why is traditional fantasy literature desolate? Where is the way out for traditional fantasy literature?

Due to the progress of the times and the desolation of traditional fantasy literature, the way out for traditional fantasy literature lies in imagination. No matter how we look at fantasy network literature, we have to admit that fantasy network literature has once again activated the powerful momentum of popular literature or entertainment literature. For some scholars immersed in the elite literary tradition, they can't agree with the entertainment function of literature, but this doesn't mean that literature has never undertaken such a function-from the ancient novels of talented people and beautiful women to the modern school of mandarin ducks and butterflies, from Qiong Yao's romance novels to Jin Yong's martial arts novels, literature has a long history of entertainment.

1. Throughout the history of China literature and world literature, fantasy literature with imagination as its literary ontology has always been the foil of realistic literature, hovering on the edge of the literary kingdom. After the first prosperous myth literature, fantasy literature has been silent in the long history of literature. Although there are flashes like traditional fantasy novel and modern fantasy novel, as far as the overall situation of literary ecology is concerned, the production of fantasy literature can never be compared with real literature. It was not until the emergence of online literature in China that this situation was fundamentally changed.

2. To make a new breakthrough, we must create a new way to look at literature and life. Literature should not only satisfy the residual pleasure, but also provide people with a way to look at the historical society and the value of life. From the internal quality point of view, it is not difficult to find that compared with realistic literature, China Network fantasy novel has a stronger ability to integrate into the world. The biggest difference between fantasy literature and realistic literature lies in the breakthrough of specific history.

3. Japan's successful experience of learning from western fantasy literature deserves our reflection. Japanese children's fantasy novels are also imported, starting with translating and learning western fantasy literature. Japanese fantasy writers, as Qian Shuying said, did not completely follow western modern fantasy novel, but drew creative inspiration from their feelings about nature and expressed their inner world in the process of communication between man and nature. The above is the answer to why traditional fantasy literature has fallen behind the times and where is the way out for traditional fantasy literature.
