Appreciation of fairy tales in Beiji Village

Through the analysis of the beginning and end of childhood, Fairy Tales of the Arctic Village savors the original ecological life situation created by the unique children's perspective, as well as the deep thinking on survival, growth and humanity.

Fairy Tales of Arctic Village is a work very close to Chi Zijian's real childhood. Chi Zijian's creation stems from the people's self-awareness, affinity with the people's position, or writing people's feelings, all of which are rooted in her real childhood experience in the Arctic village. The inheritance in her blood urges this creative writer to convey rich and colorful life stories through the local natural landscape and cultural background, penetrate deep historical traditions and intangible humanistic stories into tangible folk customs, and reflect the thinking of human nature and the inheritance and changes of the black land in Northeast China. The narrative content of the novel is closely combined with artistic features, and through various narrative techniques, the warm and sad world of the Arctic Village is displayed for readers. At the beginning of the novel, he wrote: "Without innocence, there is no childhood. Without childhood, there would be no maturity and enrichment today. " Children's perspective is to let children take the role of observation, perception and narration, observe the world through children's eyes, and judge and evaluate the world in a way that conforms to children's way of thinking. The child's eyes are simple and sharp. Readers can see the world through their eyes, feel the world more truly and naturally, and feel the warmth of the world with a simple and sensitive heart.

Chi Zijian regards scenery as a part of human life, and permeates natural scenery and humanistic spirit, thus creating an inseparable harmony between natural scenery and human beings and making people absorb the natural aura of the Arctic Village more. The endless description of the natural beauty of the Arctic Village also casts a warm light on the quiet and cold life of the Arctic Village. Chi Zijian's dirty life experience in the city made him create a quiet life in the countryside more carefully, which was a conscious return to a harmonious and warm spiritual home.

The whole novel runs through Chi Zijian's unique warmth, flashing a kind of human warmth, which can soothe people's hearts in a heavy and ordinary life and light up the light of hope for people in the dark night sky. This is related to the adoption of children's perspective in the novel, because children's pure psychology can better grasp the beauty and warmth in life and make the novel full of the dreamy beauty of the fairy tale world.

The novel uses poetic language to write more about the joy, simplicity, kindness and anxiety of the villagers in the Arctic village. Although it is a bit bitter, it is more full of warmth and care. In his familiar local world, the author has made a profound exploration of the beauty and ugliness, good and evil, life and death, and the fate of life embodied in this ordinary daily life. Their lives are struggling, their lives are stretched, and their inner conflicts are harmonious.

The novel adopts the first-person narrative perspective. In the seemingly casual narration, the readers see the characters in the story step by step, and understand their fate with the questioning of Deng Zi's inner world. From the memory of the protagonist in Deng Zi's narration, we know that she was sent to her grandmother's house in the Arctic village far away from the city because her mother was worried that Deng Zi's talkativeness would lead to disaster. If children talk too much, they will be sent to the countryside, not because their mothers are cruel, but because of the society's imprisonment of speech. Everyone is walking on thin ice, so that mothers don't worry about their children, fearing that their children will suffer losses if they talk too much, which will bring disaster to their families. Dengzi is not only the leader of the Arctic village, but also gives everyone sympathy with her immature childlike innocence. Her poor grandmother didn't know about her son's death, the poor fool was imprisoned in chains, and the poor Soviet grandmother had no one to rely on. Similarly, the lamp also gave her the pursuit of happiness in life. She will use her own way to fight against what she doesn't want, and she is bored, highlighting her self-awareness in the children's world.
