对中原文化的反思成为贯穿于当代河南作家群中的一条主要文学形态。从20世纪80年代的乔典运、张一弓到90年代的周大新、刘震云、阎连科等,他们都无一例外地以自己的文学方式对传统的中原文化进行了冷静深刻的文化审视。 Reflections on the Central Plains culture become a major literary form that runs through contemporary writers in Henan. From Qiao Dianyun and Zhang Yigeng in the 1980s to Zhou Daxin, Liu Zhenyun and Yan Lianke in the 1990s, all of them unobtrusively conducted a cool and profound cultural examination of the traditional Central Plains culture in their own literary style.
