(1) The whole symbol system of Red Sorghum is a multi-faceted and multi-level aesthetic category, in which the characters' language is vulgar and filthy rural language such as swearing, swearing, obscenity, swearing and flirting, which is a typical high-density peasant talking. This kind of language, which seems almost crazy to others, has a unique aesthetic feeling in the novel environment, and this language style shows the author's uniqueness.
(2) The dialogue of the characters in Red Sorghum is a highlight of the work. Personalized folk spoken language runs through the story from beginning to end. In the local flavor, readers can not only feel the original "vulgarity" of folk spoken language, but also hear the cry from the most primitive and noble power at the bottom of life behind the vulgarity.

Mo Yan likes to use synaesthesia in the scene description, and his imagination is bizarre and bold, and his language is full of juice, which gives people a broader imaginary world and a more complex sensory space. In his own words, it is: "Creators should be bold and unconstrained. No matter in creative thinking or artistic style, it must be a little evil.
