Abstract
Literature certainly reflects the life appearance of a specific historical period, and history is formulated from daily life. The ultimate goal of historical evolution is to improve human life, and through documentation and exploration of daily life, historical implication can then be recovered. Based on the work of ＂Ping-Ju-Wa-Yao-Gou＂ done by A-Sheng, this article intends to decode the spiritual and historical meaning embedded in the description of his daily life from perspectives of native land, history and culture. From native land perspective, his work is able to recreate traditional human affairs; from a historical perspective, A-Sheng captures the details ignored by formal history, and deduces real human life; from a cultural perspective, he studies the hometown of Xin-ying, Zhong-he and Yong-he to incarnate the cultural link between urban and village, and modern and convention. The author records the fade-out village culture and human affairs through a description of daily life, and inspires readers to ponder deeply over those neglected and forgotten values. Therefore, even though rustic landscape fades away, countryside character and spirit clearly reappear in front of us.
