Almost for two months, I have been reading Jia Pingwa's long novel Qinqiang. In this book, the author takes the daily trivial life of peasants as the body, and tries to reproduce the real living condition of Qingfeng Street in his hometown. Works of the scene is very large, many characters, local colloquialisms are more prominent, rich and varied content, basically covering all aspects of rural politics, economy, culture, customs, and through the lunatic cited by the self-narrative, described the rise and fall of the Qingfeng Street over the decades of change. Although the book is a loose and rambling family story, the strokes of the pen reach into the interior of the Chinese vernacular, thus explaining the contradictions of reality in the complex contradiction between modernity and tradition.

In this work, the Qinqiang opera as a kind of bang bang acoustic cavity drama throughout, one of the main characters, summer Zhi's lifelong hobby and pursuit is the Qinqiang. No matter whether it is a happy event or a good or bad mood, people use the different tunes of Qinqiang to express their inner emotions and render the atmosphere of the scene.

The Qinqiang is a local theater of Qin, the favorite local culture of the people in Qingfeng Street, the spiritual enjoyment of Summer Zhi and the pursuit of her daughter-in-law Bai Xue's career, and a cultural feature that reflects the rise and fall of the families of the various characters in the small society of Qingfeng Street and the social changes. However, with the development of society, film and television dramas and the impact of modern popular music, Qinqiang as a traditional drama, gradually by the people's cold; revitalization of Qinqiang is Bai Xue as the representative of the ardent expectations of professionals, but also love of classical opera, heritage of local culture on behalf of the character of the summer Zhi's wish. However, under the impact of the market economy, the troupe had to disintegrate, the Qinqiang had to go to the edge of socialized entertainment, so that since the Ming and Qing Dynasties gradually developed and evolved and passed down to the present day of the big kind of opera sitting on the bench. And the old Qingfeng Street is also like the Qinqiang in the social development and change from the author's memories of the impression of the farther and farther away; that is to say, the Qingfeng Street contains the Qinqiang, the Qinqiang on behalf of the hometown of the Qingfeng Street has been gradually declining.

The writing method and storyline development of "Qinqiang" is the author's unique groove, he narrated in prose style, telling the stories of Qingfeng Street over the years, each story has a different character with a different destiny, which realistically reproduces the scene of the Qingfeng Street's lively and annoying life, which is in a flurry of competition.

The author is good at describing each character's small meanness, cleverness, ambition, nastiness, and interest; such as Xia Qingyu and Black E, Sanluo and White E, Xia Yu and Cuicui, Shangshan and Jinlian, Junting and Miss, etc., and even the summer Yi, the root of the old rural cadres in the young and the Junqi mother did a ridiculous thing. Although all of them are written in a vulgar, barbaric, poor and blunt manner, they are full of tolerance and compassion. Showing the details of the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of China, but by no means avoiding the ugly, but the flaws of each other, frankly stated.

The Qinqiang should be said to be a work with a strong atmosphere of tragedy. Jia Pingwa, who has a deep peasant complex, remembers the people and events in his hometown and feels compassion for the peasants who are lost in the tide of reform. In his afterword, he said that the creation of Qinqiang was carried out in an extremely contradictory and tortured state of mind. I think perhaps he was trying hard to restore things to themselves, but he was also hesitant to choose and reconsider many contents, Qingfeng Street, Qinqiang, and his late relatives constitute his unforgettable hometown. And to be able to use the most primitive local language to express the real countryside and peasant life is his ability, but also his heart for his homeland and relatives.
