Abstract

In the diverse literary landscape of the new era, Pan Xiangli, as a unique landscape in "female writing," her novels prevail in contemporary literary circles with the theme of "sorrow without harm, reaching the pinnacle of emotion and beauty." She has a profound classical literary background, combined with rich urban life experiences, embodying both modernity and tradition, which holds special significance in female writing. Her unique family background, urban experiences, and aesthetic pursuits make her novel creation exhibit the characteristics of romantic and sentimental literature in terms of material selection, lyricism, and techniques, carrying a hazy and profound tragic meaning. "Piercing Heart Lotus," as Pan Xiangli's first epic tragic work, showcases the tragic aesthetic characteristics of her novels through the tragic writing of "self-awareness of warmth and cold," the tragic style of "interweaving tragedy and beauty," and the tragic mood imbued with compassion in poeticism.
