(Zhu Xian mentioned above is not a ghost novel, but fantasy novel. ) The supernatural novels in books often intersect with truth, fantasy and fantasy novel's revision, so many of them are difficult to be clearly classified and defined. However, the biggest feature of ghost novels is that they inherit the quirks of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. Ancient myths, legends, historical biographies, quirks and legends are the creative sources of this kind of novels, which contain demon fairy's quirks, but in fact they criticize the shortcomings of the times and look at the real society coldly from another side. There are two main branches of supernatural novels, one is mainly about strength, miracles, superpowers and so on. One focuses on the evolution and development of human beings, and the other vividly depicts the anecdotes of various goblins and monsters for different purposes. Tao Dongfeng, a professor at Capital Normal University, believes that cheating has become a strange phenomenon in China's literary and art circles, not only in fantasy literature. What it represents is precisely the extreme poverty and frustration of artistic imagination in our time. Classic recommendation "horror teaching building"

Author of "Ghost Blowing Lights": Muye Zhang Introduction to this book: In the novel, the author initiated four schools of grave robbery in history-touching gold, unloading mountains, building mountains and moving mountains, among which touching gold is the most technical and disciplined school.

If the candle goes out, you must quit as soon as possible and don't take anything. According to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead, which has been passed down for thousands of years and cannot be violated. There is a proverb to prove it: send a mound seal, touch a gold symbol, move mountains to find dragons; People light wax, ghosts blow lights, maps and battles to find stars and peaks; There are countless halls of mercury, funerary wares and dragon halls; If the coffin is heavy, it is bronze, and the Chinese character is not hard. Don't go near it. Representative author Tina Tina, 25 years old, is thin and introverted. In reality, this girl from northern Guangdong shuttles between buildings in Guangzhou from nine to five every day, leading a regular life as a civil servant. On the internet, her literary talent is flying, she can write thousands of words a minute and get tens of thousands of hits. She has the most senior winter powder "Nano" in the horror and supernatural novel circle, with thousands of people. As early as 2000, she was a freshman in a normal university in Guangzhou, studying Chinese and law, writing science fiction in her spare time, and visiting Yixian Time and Space and Tsinghua University, Shui Mu. "I have been writing science fiction before, but after it was published online, there were very few respondents. At that time, I happened to be interested in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, so I came up with the idea of writing a supernatural novel. " Driven by this "accident", a campus horror novel with Sun Yat-sen University as the background was born. "I chose the prototype of Zhong Da University because the inspiration of Ghost Road and the prototype of the story are in Zhong Da University. Moreover, I think the campus atmosphere of CUHK has a strong scholarly atmosphere, which is more in line with the artistic conception in the novel. " Shadow Carriage On the Internet, Tina is called "the first person in campus terror", or even if she is not the first person, she is "the most influential person since the popularization of Internet (campus horror literature) in China". Tina and Ghost Road are much more significant to the whole Internet or horror novels. She and her Ghost Road are more like a symbol, a symbol that divides the development of the Internet into the category of horror novels. Before 2000, the internet was not popular, and the readers of horror and supernatural novels were limited. An excellent author and an excellent work can often become a weather vane of social popularity. After 2000, the Internet entered the "civilian age", and online writing advanced by leaps and bounds. The appearance of Tina and Nightmare Road just defined a model for the subsequent horror and supernatural literature in the "civilian age". In the later period, another kind of works with the theme of real paranormal appeared, such as Ghost Nightingale. June 5438 +2007 10, Ghost Road Publishing. The reading frenzy before 200 1 can still be reflected in today's sales figures. In less than a month, the sales volume of Ghost Road has reached more than 40,000 copies. Representative works: an adventure experienced by a musician, an evil person changing his mind, witnessing an adventure in a funeral home, an anecdote every night, a ghost expert Li, infinite memory, extreme evolutionary space, nocturnal ghost eating, a dead agent, a mystery buried in an ancient tomb, a ghost story, and someone behind it. The readers of Ghost Scene and Monster Club are all readers of horror and supernatural novels, but most of them are still in their twenties and thirties. Seneca is a ghost story fan and the host of "Ghost Story" in Tsinghua University, Shui Mu. She teaches web design in Beijing. She has been reading ghost stories since freshman year. In 2004, when she was a junior, she began to read online supernatural novels. Sometimes my back gets cold when I watch ghost stories at home alone. She began to pull friends around her to write ghost stories and "entertain herself". The popularity of the Internet has created a group of online authors, because the threshold for spreading stories online is not as high as that of traditional media. As long as you are willing to write, someone will read it, which encourages a group of authors. There are many more female readers than male readers. There are also more girls than boys at the horror novel counter in bookstores. Writers such as Tina, Candy, Xie Fei, Matchmaker and My Hometown Attic are all in Guangdong. Guangdong ranks first with its famous writers, and Sichuan ranks second. This fast-growing reader market naturally falls into the scope of publishers' power struggle. Freud Dan, editor-in-chief of Mo Tie Culture, is also editor-in-chief of Ghost Road series. In Freud Dan's eyes, compared with the martial arts, romance and fantasy works that just emerged a few years ago, the horror and supernatural works have been relatively "6 years 10 months, and it took Freud Dan less than a week to find Tina, from negotiation to signing the contract." I think she wrote about love, not terror. Terror is just a way to achieve the ultimate goal. But in propaganda, I will still emphasize the horror side. If I had to define it, I would define it as a horror romance novel. "Wizard Freud Dan contacted another online writer," A candy ". At the beginning of understanding the market, Freud Dan compared Tina to a candy reader. Tina's readers are many people who have read novels online. These people graduated from college and became office workers. In my twenties and thirties. The readers of "A Candy" are one or two years younger than Tina's readers, and they are supported by grassroots because of the underlying consciousness revealed in the works of "A Candy". Many migrant workers and working girls are also her readers. "Creative interests Illegal booksellers take millions a year, and the enthusiasm of the whole people and high click-through rate attract the attention of another part of people-publishers. Lotus first realized this problem in 2002, when booksellers contacted publishing one after another, and that time was also the most pirated time of Lotus Tale. " At that time, a wise man told me that illegal booksellers took millions of dollars a year from nonsense. There were not many good booksellers in the early stage, but there were quite a few pirates playing hooligans. Ghost story is the most serious BBS of Internet piracy in China. At that time, there were ghost stories in any collection of horror novels. Moreover, when the book was published, the author refused to admit it when asking for the manuscript fee, or only gave it per thousand words 15 yuan, which was an insulting level. It's much better now. There are more good booksellers and big booksellers. Although there are still cases of cheating and fraud, it is no longer the mainstream. "Lotus attributed the success of Ghost Story to its originality and caught up with the tide of online publishing." Now it is different from the past, and it is impossible to prosper without economic benefits. "Lotus has its own understanding of why this book is popular because of its horror and supernatural works," because this kind of work caters to the market demand and is a commodity. You know, you only eat delicious food, and so do books. Only people will buy good books. What are good books made of? Plot, suspense, curiosity, humanity, * * *, these factors are almost all in ghost literature, and they are especially strengthened. "At the same time, Lotus also believes that horror literature is not the most popular now, but the market is the most stable. That is to say, as long as books are published, the market will get by, and basically booksellers will not lose money. As for the description of ghosts as gimmicks in traditional literature, Lian Fang said, "I agree, but try to write such gimmicks. "The status quo of development has become the new favorite of the forum, and supernatural novels are popular. The first is the internet. After receiving strong attention on the Internet, many supernatural novels are favored by booksellers and then published. The reporter randomly entered several literary forums, and the paranormal novel section got the most hits, such as Sohu's "paranormal space", "Ghosts on campus", "Lotus Story in Tianya Community" and Sina's "Mysterious Strange Tan". The most popular post of Tianya community, Soul Sacrifice, has been visited as many as 5 billion times in more than three months. Such amazing hits are the highest in all literary forums. Nalan's supernatural novel "Broken Dragon Platform" was first serialized on the Internet, with millions of hits. After the book was published, its sales volume exceeded10,000 copies. All this shows that ghost novels have sprung up suddenly and become the new favorite of literary forums. Why is China favored? There have been myths and legends since ancient times. Pangu created the world, and the goddess of mending heaven created mankind, which reflected the diligence and courage of ancient people. In the long feudal society, many stories about ghosts and gods were circulated among the people. The prevalence of supernatural novels in modern society is closely related to the "ghost theory" circulated since ancient times. The vast majority of writers and readers of modern supernatural novels are "post-80s". On the one hand, young writers have the desire to appeal their fantasies to words, on the other hand, young readers like to read supernatural novels to satisfy their curiosity, which makes them have a great market and living space. Moreover, the entry threshold of supernatural literature is very low, and even primary school students can write if they are interested, so it is extremely prosperous on the Internet. The "theory of ghosts and gods" is often story-telling, progressive, serial puzzles, scary suspense and fascinating, which are the reasons for the popularity of supernatural novels. Ghost mailbox beware of negative effects. Psychic novels are popular, but the superstitious elements in them must also be alert to the negative impact on teenagers. Professor Tao Dongfeng of Capital Normal University once wrote "China literature has entered the age of playing tricks on ghosts", which criticized the novels of ghosts and gods almost mercilessly. He thinks supernatural novels are playing tricks on ghosts. The article claims that "the greatest feature of supernatural literature is that it is good at playing tricks on ghosts", and "the author of supernatural literature uses this to cover up the fact that he is seriously lacking in artistic talent except playing tricks on ghosts". As a small skill to cover up the exhaustion of artistic talent, playing tricks will only appear if the imagination is seriously poor or seriously controlled. "Because of the freedom of the Internet, there have been different kinds of supernatural novels, some reflecting modern life, and some advocating feudal superstition and the supremacy of violence. Nalan Chu Yuan, the author of Broken Dragon Terrace, once told reporters that one of the problems he has been considering in the process of writing the book is how to minimize the negative impact, but Tina, the originator of the supernatural novel, has never been published because her works are simply written as "ghosts". How to guide the novels of ghosts and gods to the road of healthy development is a question worthy of deep thinking by everyone in the industry. The supernatural refers to all kinds of unnatural and unexplained strange things like "ghosts". However, psychologists have confirmed that paranormal phenomena mostly occur in some narrow spaces, in which the airflow passing through the human body is very rapid, and those who find so-called supernatural creatures have "hints" in their hearts because of their understanding of the past history. Because Hampton Palace has been haunted, a research team led by Dr. richard wiseman, a psychologist from the University of Hertfordshire, investigated the haunted phenomenon of Hampton Palace in 2000. Psychologists have found that those who report seeing or feeling ghosts are talking about their personal feelings, but these can be explained by natural phenomena. Cold air currents, dim or variable lights, KB claustrophobia and magnetic fields can all cause a feeling of uneasiness, which some people will interpret as ghosts. As this environmental factor constantly affects the same area, these areas will soon get the reputation of being haunted. Seeking * * * and entertainment are the superficial reasons behind the rise. For readers, reading is an important means to meet their physical and mental development, and the sensuality provided by horror and supernatural novels meets their needs to some extent. But from the deep cultural psychology, the theme of "ghosts and gods" in horror novels reflects the lack of basic philosophy education today. In the past popular cultural psychology, the view of life was basically a scientism, that is to say, the meaning of life and the meaning of the world were judged by scientific standards. However, with the increasingly open society, the mind has encountered more and more problems. Many answers in the past can only be explained by scientism. In China's ideological tradition, talking about the meaning of life is first associated with "soul" and "ghosts and gods". For example, Zi Chan once said, "Life begins with spirit, life is born, and Yang is spirit. Confucius would also say, "stay away from ghosts and gods." "Although he doesn't elaborate on ghosts and gods, he will show respect for such questions, but he won't answer them. From this perspective, we may give them a philosophical explanation about the world outlook and outlook on life, which will naturally involve a series of questions such as where people come from and whether they have souls. It is precisely because of this potential curiosity that horror and supernatural novels can take advantage of it and influence people's views on the "soul world" through entertainment. Because most of these novels are aimed at * * *, they naturally lack the construction of readers' life meaning, but they have far-reaching influence.
