Lotus Lake was written in 1945. After publication, it has a great influence in the literary and artistic circles. Many writers have tried their best to explore their writing skills and embody their style in artistic practice, and soon formed a literary school. This school is called "Lotus Dian School" by critics. Its representative writers are Liu Shaotang, Cong Weixi and Han Yingshan. The works of the "Lotus School" are generally full of romanticism and optimism, with vivid plots, fresh and simple language, full of rhythm, vivid description, delicate psychological portrayal, strong lyrical flavor and poetic flavor, and are called "poetic novels". Founder of the Lotus School: Sun Li, formerly known as Sun Shuxun. Hebei Anping people. Modern writer. China's outstanding language master. Mao Dun, one of the leaders of the proletarian revolutionary literature and art movement, said when commenting on Sun Li: Sun Li has his own consistent style. "His prose is full of lyrical flavor, and his novels don't seem to pay attention to the chapter structure, but they never branch; He describes the changes in the situation with a calm attitude of talking and laughing. The advantage is that he is funny and not frivolous. " ("Reflecting the leap-forward era of socialism and promoting the progress of the socialist era")

The main writers are Ma Feng, Xi Rong, Shu Wei, Sun Qian, Hu Zheng, etc. They are all writers born and raised in rural areas of Shanxi, and they have a deep foundation of rural life. After the mid-1950s, they consciously took Zhao Shuli as the center to cultivate and form schools with similar styles.

The characteristics of the "Shanyaodan" school: First of all, from the viewpoint of literature of the "Shanyaodan" school, we say that they come down in one continuous line from Lu Xun's viewpoint of "for life" and "improving this life". Holding a pen is to "persuade people" (Zhao Shuli's words) and persuade people to make revolution, and writing has a clear revolutionary purpose. They think it is very important to hold a pen, a gun and a hoe, and they also work for the revolution; There is only a difference in division of labor between them, and there is no difference between high and low. In their view, working for the revolution and writing for the revolution are the same thing. Therefore, they don't despise or escape the tedious administrative work, but take certain administrative tasks as the main way to get familiar with people, collect materials and grasp the theme. As a result, the writers who formed the "yam egg" school have the same style, that is, wherever they go and work, they are not guests, but always "masters of life". In terms of life style, the writers of "Shanyaodan" school have always maintained the unique style of rural grassroots cadres and even farmers. This is reflected in the works, and the writer's kind, simple and funny tone of telling stories has attracted the whole body and mind of rural readers, such as brothers and intimate friends.
Secondly, the creative method of "Shanyaodan" school naturally adopts the revolutionary realism method, just like many revolutionary writers in China. However, realism, which is also a revolution, is different not only from society and times, but also from environment and people. Shanxi writers, represented by Zhao Shuli, adopt revolutionary realism in their creative methods, which is characterized by emphasizing firmly grasping the problems that need to be solved in the revolutionary process, that is, the contradictions in real life, giving prompt and timely responses and helping the problems to be solved as soon as possible. This is what Zhao Shuli called "problem novel".
Third, the themes they created are all rural areas, but because they have different angles of material selection from other writers, they show their characteristics. They pay attention to reflecting the great changes of the times from ordinary people and ordinary scenes; Love to describe the earth-shaking struggle in the countryside. Therefore, from the new-democratic revolution to the socialist revolution and construction, they worked hard in close coordination with the party's line and policies, often focusing on the family and love disputes of ordinary farmers, and on the contradictions and conflicts between people in general work and daily labor scenes. They pay great attention to the life exploration of ordinary farmers and explore their inner activities and changes. By depicting the description of "people have changed" (Ma Feng language) with great interest in life, they profoundly show the pace of the giants of the times.
Fourth, about the characteristics of art forms. Everyone generally recognizes the nationalization and popularization of the "yam egg" school.
Fifth, the use of language. The language used by the "Shanyaodan" school is the language of Shanxi farmers, thus forming a completely different language feature from the writers who created in the mass languages of other regions. When talking about Zhao Shuli's language, Comrade Sun Qian once said that he "never used a Shanxi dialect, but he maintained a very strong local color; He didn't use dirty, dirty and swearing words, but he described the exploiters, oppressors and defenders of old morality vividly and vividly. Zhao Shuli's language is catchy, understood by everyone, humorous, accurate and vivid. This language is pure gold, diamonds, sparkling and clanging ... ". Comrade Sun Qian's words summed up Zhao Shuli very accurately, and also summarized the * * * characteristics of the writers of "Shanyao Egg School" in using Shanxi mass language:1. 2, pass but not vulgar.
