The Serious Flaw of Root-Seeking Fictions--Imitation
Root-seeking novels were a kind of literature that attempted to find the historical and spiritual roots of mankind. They often involved some abstract concepts and ideas, as well as a reinterpretation of traditional culture and history. However, root-seeking novels also have some serious flaws, one of which is imitation. Root-seeking novels often used some traditional literary narrative techniques such as autobiographies and recollections, but these techniques were no longer applicable in contemporary society. At the same time, the characters and plots in the root-seeking novels often imitate the images and plots in traditional literary works, causing readers to have a sense of deja vu, thus reducing readers 'interest and reading experience. In addition, the characters and ideas in the root-seeking novels were often negatively influenced by traditional culture and history, resulting in the lack of modern and innovative. Therefore, root-seeking novels, while trying to find the historical and spiritual roots of human beings, should also pay attention to maintaining their uniqueness and innovation in order to better attract the attention and interest of readers.
