This collection of novels describes his deep nostalgia for his hometown of Hunan and his unique feelings about Hunan's natural scenery, and shows his ideal Xiangxi. Auspicious San Ji is one of the representative works of Shen Congwen's prose collection. This edition is not only Xiangxing San Ji, but also three parts: Xiangxing Letters, Xiangxing San Ji and Xinxiangjixing.
Shen Congwen's "Xiangxing San Ji" based on "Xiangxing Letters" was published in newspapers and magazines, and many singles were published. Xiang Xing San Ji and Xiangxi can be interpreted intertextually with the novels Border Town and Long River that the author returned to Xiangxi twice.
Different from the novel's "pastoral atmosphere" and "optimistic transcendence", prose is full of heavy sense of responsibility-in the face of a special historical field, it traces the sacred life from beginning to end and experiences the solemn life through the superficial blood and tears. The author's writing and reflection under great compassion is to integrate sharp ethnic problems and social contradictions into the personnel narrative.
China's modern prose rose in the May 4th period, and appeared mainly in the form of prose in the 1930s. The essays included in Xiang Xing and Xiang Xiang can not only be independent articles, but also have internal integrity as a whole. The originality of this long volume of prose has developed the expression form of prose art and opened up the meaning space of prose creation.
