Abstract: The Vagabond on the Wuchou River by Huang Yongyu is not the work of an old man in his eighties on a whim,but the product of decades of continuous enthusiasm,repeated thinking and deliberation,which embodies the conscious stylistic consciousness and creative idea.Huang Yongyu continues Shen Congwen's thinking on the relationship between literature and history.By "paying attention to the secondary things",Huang Yongyu explores the obscure nameless things with an amazing sensibility and makes them appear in a new form in a new line of sight.It is a large number of material redundancies excluded by the dominant narrative,and those seemingly superfluous people,things and things with no definite meaning that constitute the "history" moved by Huang Yongyu.He extends the tentacles of feeling to all subtle aspects of daily life,equates those things at the low end of the value sequence with those at the high end,and regards them as the same level.It not only touches the ordinary sad music that is not concerned by the grand narrative,but also touches the material sound and shadow in the folds of nature and history,so that the river of history unfolds slowly and deeply in the text.

Key words: HuangYongyu, novel, history, "redundancy"
