黑龙江省的作家萧红和迟子建在意识形态被禁锢的历史时期,自觉选择、坚守平民文化立场,和同时代大多数作家选择主流文化立场及知识分子精英文化立场形成了鲜明对比,成为中国现当代文学史上独特的文学艺术景观。这种创作上的突破,来自东北地域文化的核心萨满文化的影响,萨满教神际平等关系影响了两位作家平等意识和平民思想的形成,萨满教的万物有神论和万物有灵论影响了两位作家悲悯情怀的形成。
During the period when thoughts were confined, Xiao Hong and Chi Zijian, writers from Heilongjiang, conclously selected and stuck to civilian standpoint, which constituted a sharp contrast with the mainstream standpoint of most writers and excellent intellectuals and formed a unique branch in the history of Modem Chinese Literature. This breakthrough in writing came under the influence of Shaman Culture, the core of regional culture of northeast China. The two writers' equal conciousness, civilian thought and their mourning for everything formed under the influence of Shaman god's equal relationship and the pantheism of Shaman.
