Abstract
The strong homesickness was the most direct and important motive for Shen Congwen,a stranger to Beijing,to create his series of novels about the western Hunan.Purified by homesickness,the life style of original ecology’s of pre-modern society’s agricultural civilization,which was ordinary and desolate,had been vividly presented in Shen Congwen’s novels.Meanwhile,the life of original ecology had been prettified and poeticized to some certain extent to make it reflect a beauty that would not fade away.This artistic beauty could not only comfort the soul of people in technology times,but also guide people back to their spiritual home.
