Why is Border Town the purest novel text in the history of modern literature, and "the pinnacle of pastoral legend of modern literature in China"?

Because of its poetic language and ideal of human beauty. First of all, from the ideological content, Border Town entrusted Mr. Shen Congwen's aesthetic ideals of "beauty" and "love", which is the one that can best express the beauty of human nature in his works. Border Town eulogizes the virtues preserved to this day in traditional culture, which is relative to the destruction of traditional virtues in modern society and the shallowness, vulgarity and corruption of materialism and monetarism everywhere. Xiangxi described in Border Town has beautiful natural scenery and simple folk customs. People don't talk about rank or utility. People treat each other sincerely and love each other. Grandpa's love for his granddaughter, Cui Cui's love for Nuo purity, Tianbao brothers' sincere love for Cui Cui and sincere brotherhood between brothers all represent the traditional virtues of unpolluted agricultural civilization. The author tries his best to describe the natural clarity of Xiangxi and the inner clarity of Xiangxi people. Border Town describes marriage proposal, brother's marriage, grandfather's dependence on Cui Cui with songs. These life forms and lifestyles of Xiangxi people imply the sadness of the loss of ancient virtues and values in real life, as well as the criticism of the materialism of modern civilization. The author emphasizes the lifestyle of Xiangxi people and also wants to rebuild national morality and personality.

Secondly, from the perspective of expression, Border Town depicts the unique customs of Xiangxi with beautiful brushwork, both lyric poems and essays. The flowing river, the white pagoda by the stream, the beautiful love songs written for teenagers, and the simple, natural and kind humanity ... The author vividly shows these beautiful customs to the world through poetic language.

Finally, the sad tone endows the work with a tragic beauty that goes deep into people's souls. The melancholy in Border Town is not deliberately exaggerated by the author, but naturally vented from the work. The sad tone of the work did not weaken the readability of the work, but increased the thickness and charm of the work. Through the description of various tragedies of several protagonists, the author expresses his deep regret that the lower people in western Hunan can't independently grasp their fate and pass on their tragic fate from generation to generation.

Specifically, I need to read the text, so I won't ask such questions after reading it.
