The Great Liao River/大辽河 [Chinese]

By Jin Ziwei

The Great Liao River is a novel centered on the exploration of the origins of Chinese civilization. 《大辽河》是一部以中华民族文明探源为主题的长篇小说 The unruliness and mystery, the abundance and barrenness, the impetuosity and stillness of rivers have made them one of literature's most enduring subjects in every era. If Qi Bangyuan's The Great River captures, through non-fiction, the most tragically heroic chapter of the Liao River's history, then Jin Zigu's The Great Liao River-through the sweeping grandeur of the novel form and the interplay of fact and fiction-presents eight stories set in different periods yet deeply interconnected, each drawing from and giving back to the Liao River its history, its culture, and its spirit. Like arrows clustered at a target, these tales unravel layer by layer from ancient times to the present, revealing the Liao River as a source of Chinese civilization. 河流的不羁与神秘，丰沛与贫瘠，鲁莽与静谧，使河流在每一个时代都是文学最重要的命题之一，如果说齐邦媛笔下的《巨流河》是以非虚构的方式摄入辽河历史上最为悲壮的一段"流域"，那么津子围的《大辽河》则是以长篇小说的恢弘气势与虚实相间的体裁优势，通过8个发生在不同时期却又骨血相连的辽河故事，将属于辽河的历史、辽河的文化、辽河的精神，取于辽河，又赋予辽河，像箭垛一样，从古至今抽丝剥茧地讲述给读者，构筑出中华文明的辽河之源。
