The Evolution of Deconstruction Criticism in China -Take Chinese novel criticism in 1990s as an example

Deconstruction criticism is one of the important literary criticism schools in the second half of the 20th century, which has opened up new fields of literary criticism with its unique critique strategies. This article takes Western deconstruction criticism as a reference and focuses on the deconstruction criticism of novels in China during the 1990s. It explores the evolution of deconstruction criticism in China and reveals, from one perspective, the characteristics of cultural exchange between China and the West in the context of globalization. After deconstruction criticism was introduced to China, it underwent a certain degree of mutation in practice, which in fact formed the characteristics of Chinese deconstruction criticism. This is mainly reflected in the following five aspects: (1) The traditional reading method without "proliferation." (2) Difficulty in crossing the barrier between philosophy and literature. (3) Anti-traditional but not anti-logos. Chinese deconstruction criticism advocates anti-traditionalism, but its ultimate goal is not to overthrow the logos (central) status of tradition. (4) Emphasizing the marginal yet moving towards the center. Chinese deconstruction criticism stresses the "marginality" of literary creation and criticism, but its intention is to use the "marginal" to move towards the "center." (5) A strong historical sentiment. Although Chinese deconstruction criticism has flaws such as theoretical mixing and excessive destructiveness, it provides a new perspective for equal dialogue between Chinese and Western literary criticism and has become an integral part of the construction of contemporary literary criticism in China.
