If you jump from the field of reasoning works to other fields, you will take a bigger step, and you may be suspected of schizophrenia.

In other words, do you want to get a vest?

[Chapter 258.257 Traditional Literature]

Regarding the traditional literature of neon, modern and ancient times are two completely different aspects.

During the Heian period, Kamakura period, Muromachi period, etc., neon literature was in the hands of monks and samurai.

In the Edogawa period, neon literature became dominated by Confucianism.

In these periods, neon literature can only be said to be second- and third-rate, and the ones that look good are "The Tale of Genji" and a few other works.

But even these works were largely influenced by Tang literature.

What really made neon literature start to change completely is that it has to be counted after the Falling Curtain Movement.

During this period, Japan began the Meiji Restoration and accepted a large number of European and American ideologies and literature.Under the combination of Eastern and Western trends of thought, it finally began to walk out of an independent path.

At the turn of the nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Japanese literary talents exploded.

Akutagawa, Kawabata, Mishima, and Natsume writers emerged one after another, wrote many convincing masterpieces, and won recognition from the international community.

However, with the passage of time, pure literary works that represent traditional aesthetics have finally begun to fall under the banner of reasoning that can stimulate people's perceptions because of their own limitations.

With the aging of the population and the collapse of the publishing industry, the status of reasoning will be increasingly replaced by female-oriented romance and otaku-oriented lightness in the future.

Hiroto Akihara, who was born as a graduate student in East Asian literature, knows this period of history very well, so after careful consideration, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​vests.

After all, judging from the biographies of some writers in previous lives, many of them wrote both reasoning and traditional literature, and the gap between the two is not that big.

So even if I write some works like this across fields, it will only be called "alternative in the literary world".

And even if it is suspected of being schizophrenic, it is actually not a big problem.

After all, in the eyes of many neon people, few writers who engage in literature have normal brains, and one of them wants to commit suicide every now and then.

Hiroto Akihara made a decision, took out a pen and paper, and began to think about what to rewrite in the next literary work, and which journal to submit to.

After all, the filming of "Memories of Murder" would take half a year at the most conservative estimate.

As a layman, it is impossible to keep watching the filming during this period of time, so I just need to send a treasurer to watch the two of Utsumi and Takuto.

Asano and Satake are responsible for most of the remaining work.

Just then, the doorbell rang.Hiroto Akihara opened the door and found that it was Maki Satake who came to the door.

Satake Maki didn't wear professional attire today, but changed into a black and white striped skirt. After seeing Akihara Yuto, he said, "Akihara, the "Governor News" is urging you for the next manuscript."

Hearing this urging, Akihara Hiroto opened the drawer and took out a stack of manuscripts and handed it to her.

Most of the works here are short stories by Edogawa Ranpo, including "The Chair in the World", "Yin Beast", "Two Cents", and "Ghost of the Lonely Island".

"The Chair in the World" is about a famous female writer who received a heavy envelope and opened it to see a thick letter.

The content is a confession of a chair craftsman. He said that he once hid in a luxurious chair he made himself, and was first sent to a restaurant to observe and contact various people.

The chair changed hands a few months later, and he was replaced by a wealthy diplomat whose wife was a well-known writer.In the process, the craftsman fell in love with the female writer...

This work is extremely perverted, and was even later adapted into an episode of the Junji Ito series, which highlighted the perverted behavior of the male protagonist.

But also because of this metamorphosis, many readers were deeply shocked after reading it.

As for "Yin Beast", it tells the story between two reasoners and the beautiful Mrs. Shizuko.

The two masters are Hanchuan and Dajiang Chunni respectively, and they belong to the Benge School and the Biange School respectively.And Han Chuan and Jing Zi met in the museum, and they exchanged letters.

A few months later, Jingzi was threatened by Chunni and asked Hanchuan for help. Soon Jingzi's husband Liulang was killed.

In order to find the murderer, another duel between the two reasoners begins.

This work combines pornography, strangeness, absurdity and reasoning as a whole, and it is a masterpiece of basic reasoning.

Satake Maki carefully flipped through the pages and put away the manuscript.And Akihara Yuto looked at her back, and said, "Satake, please do me a favor."

After a pause, he added: "Help me collect information on traditional literary periodicals on the market."

Hearing this request, Maki Satake became puzzled, "Why traditional literature?"

She was a little puzzled, after all Hiroto Akihara is doing well in the field of reasoning, and has gained a large number of loyal readers.

At this time, it is not the right decision to write about the tradition of declining days.

After thinking about it for a while, she became worried. Could it be that Qiu Yuan won't write reasoning anymore?

Akihara Hiroto saw her thoughts and explained: "Don't worry, I will continue to write reasoning. I just want to try a little traditional literature."

Although the sales volume of traditional literature books is difficult to sell high, and the income may be quite limited, but the most important point is that it can help the writer win the favor of the cultural circle.

If possible, related works will even be published in primary and secondary school textbooks, which is very beneficial.

For example, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's "Rashomon" did not cause much impact when it was first released.It was only when it was published in textbooks that it was recognized as a masterpiece by the whole neon nation.

Later, this work was even made into various versions of film and television works, and spread to overseas markets.

Overseas influence has spread to Neon's country, which makes the people of Neon even more admire Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

In addition, some international literary awards tend to place more emphasis on traditional literature.

For example, the neon writers who won the Nobel Prize for Literature are also in the field of traditional literature.

I don't have to worry about money now, but I still need to go further in terms of fame.

Seeing Hiroto Akihara's resolute attitude, Maki Satake nodded seriously and said he knew.

Seeing the back of her leaving, Akihara Hiroto lowered his head and thought about it again. Since Satake is in charge of the channel, he only needs to write the article now.

Here comes the question, whose work should I write about?

Kawabata Yasunari, "Snow Country", "Dancing Girl of Izu", "Thousand Cranes" and other works are all good, but his works have a sense of sadness.

The reason is that his parents died when he was young, and his elder sister and grandparents died of illness one after another, so he frequently attended funerals.

If you write his works, you have to find a reason for the creation of related works, otherwise you don't know how it will be interpreted by book reviewers.

Osamu Dazai, the representative of the rogue faction, the representative work "No Longer Human".

This book is simply a representative of his own life. Everything the protagonist experiences is closely related to all his life trajectories, including not knowing why he is alive, being addicted to female flesh, sustaining himself with alcohol and illegal drugs, and so on.
