Shen Congwen’s texts embody two aspects in literature and cultural writings:One was literal texts that expressed his cultural thinking,and the other was ethnographic text written with literary tools.Both of them pointed to the perception towards Xiangxi and its modern urban culture.Two types of text had distinctive ethnographic characteristics.The causes of characteristics of Shen Congwen’s ethnographical writing lied in a combination of internal and external sight in the life experiences which led to his cross-cultural relativism.This was also the inevitable result of Shen Congwen’s stylistic experiments for expressions.The combination between Shen Congwen’s literature creation with the characteristic of ethnographical writing and the characteristic of poetics was the important reason that Shen Congwen’s cultural thought,aesthetic thought,artistic thought and expression were so independent and special in modern Chinese.

The triple evidence law which combines literature handed down from ancient times,unearthed literature and unearthed cultural relics has gained wide acknowledgement in the area of research on traditional culture.Shen Congwen is undoubtedly one of the advocators and practitioners of the triple evidence law since he turned from literature to cultural relics.He not only expounded the necessity of combining literature study and cultural relic study,but also became adept at scoring magnificent achievements in literature study and cultural relic study by using this method.He further illustrated the ways to do in-depth studies and cultivate talents.Shen Congwen’s glorious achievements in literature overshadow his excellence in material culture study.Future studies on him should restore his true identity and historical status as a historian.

In his novel Fengzi,Shen Congwen eradicated the foundation,cultural presupposition,material possibility and ultimate purpose for seclusion,making it possible to realize.Shen’s seclusion,characterized by irony,should be interpreted as seclusion of philosophical and mysterious sense.All his reflections totally changed after they were attached with irony.His ironic detachment was partial with respect to the through and serious detachment.In addition,this was a dual detachment:on the one hand,the author never lacked a civilian and political sense,yet it was not a kind of worship；on other hand,the tensile force of life and the relativization of knowledge had prevented him from turning into mysticism.Characters in Shen Congwen’s novels did not escape；they just lived in reality.Fundamentally,Shen had relativized an era characterized by extremism.

By referring to the basic framework of virtue ethics,we’ll reflect upon the notion of “no worries for benevolent person” and specify the image of morality behaviors and their inner heart.Based on the concerning literature review,through the progressive analysis on “not the worries for benevolent person”,“no worries for benevolent person” and “worries for benevolent person”,we believe that “no worries for benevolent person” is only possible when beyond the life and broad living meanings.By the same token,the benevolent people have to face the choice of lofty levels and real actions unavoidably.Study on “no worries for benevolent person” can not only solidify the features of some ethnics but also enrich the interpretive resources for Chinese tradition.

“Self” in Confucius is not only a follower but also an issuer of courtesy.According to Kant’s term in ethics,self in Confucius means to set the law for them.However,due to the fact that Kant denied the intuition of intellect,the concept of “set the law for themselves” can not be realized.While scholars on Confucius actualize this notion by their recognition of the fact that human’s heart is competent and potential in understanding.Thereby,respecting ourselves is a process of perfecting our morality in a dynamic and creative way.This also distinguished the self in Confucius from the self in liberty and Kant’s ethics.

Marx’s application of the word “Eigentum” embodies two layers.Ownership means the major content with “totality” and “practice” as two basic features.Among them,ownership indicates that the owners regard the production materials as their own.And totality means that the individual owning of production materials are realized in specific social system.Practice suggests that the individual owning of production materials is a dynamic process of materials production.For private property,the content of ownership evolved into a comparative module between “ownership” and “property”.Ownership at national level symbolizes the universal rights bestowed to citizens and property has become abstract materials owned by individuals in the process of production.
