用《孩子王》、《树王》和《棋王》等“王者”系列小说席卷文坛的阿城,被文学批评界的论家们誉为“寻根”一派。这个派别当中还有作家莫言、韩少功、古华、郑义、李杭育、扎西达娃、乌日尔图甚至冯骥才、王安忆、张承志和贾平凹等等。 据评论家称:“钟阿城”是这“寻根一族”的头人。 据评论家说:“钟阿城”是依寻着中国道家所谓“无为而无不为”的理念创作小说的。 Acheng, which has been sweeping the literary world with novels like The King of the Children, The Tree King and The King of Chess, has been hailed as a “root-seeking” genre by the literary critics. There are also writers such as Mo Yan, Han Shaogong, Gu Hua, Zheng Yi, Li Hangyu, Zhaxi Dawa, Ujiatu and even Feng Jicai, Wang Anyi, Zhang Chengzhi and Jia Pingwa in this faction. According to critics, “The City of Angels” is the head of this “root-seeking family.” According to the commentators, “Zhong’Acheng” is based on the idea of ​​seeking truth from “doing nothing without doing anything” by a Chinese Taoist.
