Buck (1892-1973) The subject of “The Earth” is the nourishing power of the land. Throughout the novel, contact with land is associated with filial piety, conscience, respect for nature, and a firm work ethic, while alienation from the land is associated with decadence and depravity. Booker’s novel places this universal theme in the traditional Chinese cultural context. Wang Long’s life experience can be used as a case study to examine how traditional values ​​have been eroded under the influence of wealth. Throughout the novel, Buk suggests that human success is fleeting and that land is eternal. Based on these ideas and named novel “earth.”
