    When the Internet first appeared, I browsed around and came across a website where articles were published. It was a website that focused on literature and novels. I had long forgotten what the website was called.  The various articles published by many people on it seem to me to be very academic, not only uncreative, but also ignorant.  Because our predecessors and ancients have already written it, and it is far better than them. Why do they always write substandard things?  And they still think they are very good?  They complimented each other so much that the author wanted to laugh when I saw them.  But the author will not criticize them. After all, this is their freedom. Even if the author also has the freedom to make comments, negative comments cannot be made in front of the person involved in life. Unless the other party allows it, otherwise such  Freedom is wrong.

    Emotion, reason, and law, the reason why emotion is the first is that the real value of human beings lies in the word "love". Otherwise, they would be no different from animals. If everything is based on the law, then humans will be wooden and mechanical, and the world is filled with emotions.  True, good, beautiful, and carefree.

    So on a whim, the author casually used the pen and left his own words. As a result, he received one comment after another online, all of which were negative, incomprehensible, and without structure or grammar.  The author debated one by one, debating with at least a hundred people online at the same time. The author thought that one person is more than enough to deal with a hundred people. Doesn¡¯t it prove that you are inferior to me in terms of writing skills and writing ideas?

    Later, of course, the author was not interested in talking about articles with children. Once was enough. This was also the first time that the author¡¯s articles appeared in the online world.  It's one thing to like literature and writing, but it's another thing to know yourself and your enemy.  The author has never said that his writing is good, but what he writes is definitely something that others cannot write, because he writes it as he pleases, just like today's imaginative tetralogy.

    After the debate on swords in Huashan, a small group of people also discussed swords in Mount Huashan. That episode made me wonder whether the important thing is a hero or a hero.

    When the author quotes the words of many creators, it is to assist the personal mainstream consciousness of reality or story view. Firstly, it is in line with the current mood, and secondly, this book is adopted by the author, including the author himself.  like.  If you are destined, keep it. Maybe the website will still be there ten years from now, and I can look back and smile about myself in ten years, or maybe it will all be gone.  Things are really unpredictable.  Just like the 921 earthquake in Taiwan.  Sichuan earthquake.  Who could have predicted today¡¯s Internet landscape and world?

    If the author here wants to appear in "Light of the Great God", he must write 500 VIP chapters.  The system is set up in such a way that the author must achieve it.  It's easy to get other people's books. I seem to have got hundreds of great gods' lights. All I need to do is subscribe to all the books of that person. Of course, some have only one, some have multiple, but it's all easy.

    I saw the poster in the book review area: The Little Detective, mentioned "The Stream of Consciousness Emperor".  The author has never studied literature, and I just have a feeling that it belongs to the consciousness school!  Anyway, I don¡¯t want to understand certain aspects of the author¡¯s personality because I have no particular interest in it.

    Went to check it out:

    "

    Stream of consciousness literature generally refers to literary works that focus on depicting the flow of consciousness of characters, including not only waking consciousness, but also unconsciousness, dream consciousness and pre-linguistic consciousness.  The term stream of consciousness is a psychological term that was introduced into the literary world in 1918 when May and Sinclair reviewed the novel "Journey" by British Torosay and Richardson.  Stream of consciousness literature is an important branch of modernist literature. Its main achievements are limited to the field of novels, but it is also expressed in dramas and poems.  "

    Stream of consciousness is originally a term in Western psychology. It was first seen in the paper "On Several Issues Ignored in Introspective Psychology" by American psychologist William James.  He believes that human consciousness is a continuous process.  Consciousness is not a connection of fragments, but fluid.  This is the first time that the concept of stream of consciousness has been formally proposed in psychology.

    At the beginning of the 20th century, French philosophers Henri and Bergson¡¯s theory of duration emphasized the continuity and variability of life impulses.  His distinction between psychological time and spatial time, the importance of intuition, and Austrian psychoanalyst Freud's theories on the structure of the unconscious and the relationship between dreams and art, all had a significant impact on the development of stream-of-consciousness literature.

    Academic circles generally believe that stream of consciousness is the embodiment of symbolist literature in the field of novels.  However, due to its unique techniques and high achievements, stream-of-consciousness literature is usually treated as an independent literary genre.

    Stream of consciousness novelists advocate letting the characters¡¯ subjective feelings be objectively and spontaneously reproduced on paper. They oppose traditional novels that introduce the character¡¯s origins, external environment, and occasionally make comments, and require the author to withdraw from the novel.  This proposition was first put forward by American writers Henry and James, and later Eliot's theory of impersonality also expressed similar propositions.

    James and Joyce, the representative figures of stream-of-consciousness literature, regard drama that eliminates the author¡¯s personality as the highest aesthetic form, and strive to??This goal is achieved in the novel.  Joyce believed that works are independent and self-sufficient organic structures that are insulated from external things.  As a ready-made work of art, it not only has nothing to do with society and history, it even has nothing to do with the author himself.  Because social and historical factors and the author's thoughts and feelings are only creative materials, they are artistically and formally transformed after they enter the work, and they are no longer what they were originally.

    Under the assumption that no one else is listening, a character directly expresses what he feels and thinks without any scruples, which is an inner monologue.  This is the most common technique used in stream-of-consciousness literature.  For example, there are a large number of monologues in Joyce's "Ulysses".  Its characteristic is that the author's whereabouts are completely invisible in the monologue, which is purely the true consciousness of the characters in the novel.  This inner monologue is called direct inner monologue.

    In addition, there is an indirect inner monologue. Although it also describes the inner activities of the characters, the author comes out to give guidance and explanations from time to time.  The consciousness activities displayed by this kind of inner monologue are usually at a shallower level, more coherent and logical, and the language form is more normal than direct inner monologue.

    The so-called inner analysis means that the narrator or character in the novel analyzes and pursues his own thoughts and feelings very rationally, and does so without anyone else listening.  The difference between it and inner monologue is that it uses reason as a guide to make logical and organized reasoning or explanations, rather than letting consciousness flow naturally.  This technique is widely used in Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" (first translation of "In Search of Lost Time").  Some researchers in the United Kingdom and the United States categorically deny that Proust is a stream-of-consciousness novelist, mainly because his inner monologue is only an inner analysis controlled by rationality, rather than a complete and natural flow of consciousness.

    The character¡¯s stream of consciousness does not show any rules or order.  Its consciousness can generally only focus on one problem.  If you stay briefly on one thing, the things in your mind are often replaced by the sudden appearance of external objective things; any thing that can stimulate the five senses in front of you may interrupt the character's train of thought, stimulate new thoughts and thoughts, and release  A series of impressions and feelings.

    Montage is a series of techniques used in movies to express the multiplicity of things, such as multiple perspectives, slow motion, close-ups, flashbacks, etc.  Stream of consciousness novelists often use this technique in order to break through the limitations of time and space and express the variability and complexity of the flow of consciousness.  The stream-of-consciousness writers who use this technique most include Virginia, Woolf, William and Faulkner.

    In order to enhance the symbolic effect, stream-of-consciousness novelists sometimes use poetry and music.  They make extensive use of imagery, metaphors, movement structure, rhythm, punctuation, and even bizarre spelling to hint at the character's feelings, impressions, mental state, or the moral of the work at a certain moment.  The language of Woolf's "The Waves" is very similar to Imagist poetry.  The Siren in Chapter 11 of Joyce's "Ulysses" uses the structure of Bach's fugue.

    Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was born into a wealthy bourgeois family in France. His father was a medical professor and his mother was the daughter of a Jewish agent.  Proust suffered from asthma since childhood, and after 1906 he could only write behind closed doors.  His famous work "In Search of Lost Time" narrates and analyzes early life experiences in the form of memories.  Proust met the philosopher Henri Bergson while studying at the University of Paris. Bergson's thoughts had a profound impact on Proust's creation.

    "Reminiscences of Lost Time" is more than 3,000 pages long, about 2 million words, and is divided into seven parts.  In the novel, the protagonist recounts his teenage life experiences in the first person, involving a large number of people including relatives and friends, the French aristocracy, emerging bourgeoisie, artists, and the love histories of many people.  There is no storyline throughout the book, which is completely different from traditional psychological novels.  Proust is the pioneer of stream-of-consciousness literature.

    James Joyce (1882-1941) was born in Dublin, Ireland. After graduating from university, he lived in exile in Paris, Zurich and other places.  He settled in France from 1920 to 1939.  His early works "Dublins" and "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" still belong to the category of realism, while "Ulysses", published in 1922, became the foundation of English stream-of-consciousness literature.  The novel mainly describes the activities and thoughts of three Dublin citizens from 8 am to 2:45 pm on June 16, 1904, for nearly 19 hours.  The title "Ulysses" is the Latin name of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey".

    The greatest achievement of "Ulysses" is the comprehensive advancement and high development of the technique of stream-of-consciousness novels.  All the artistic techniques of stream-of-consciousness literature are well reflected in this novel.  In terms of language, Western critics believe that "Ulysses" is one of the two novels that made a significant contribution to the English language in the 20th century, the other being "Lolita" by the American writer Nabokov.

    "Finnegan's Wake", another work by Joyce, pushes the style of stream-of-consciousness novels to the extreme.  The book is written in 65 language combinations and is extremely difficult to understand.  Joyce is a stream of consciousness writer?The person with the highest achievement represents the pinnacle of this literary genre.  "

    Dry!  Depend on!  What a complicated and understandable Chinese, I admire you, you are so strong!  (To be continued)
