Abstract

Chi Zijian’s On the Top and Hardy’s Far from the madding Crowd both have a strong flavor of rural life, and they both focus on fine humanity of rural life and depict the idyllic life declining trend and similar tragic ending. Meanwhile, it also expresses the author's love for the idyllic country life and the resistance to the material strength of the two cities. In rustic world, the relation between human and nature is inseparable. Villagers, nature and the rustic culture consist of the local complex together. The paper compared the similarities and dissimilarities of the complex of nature - loving, the tragic theme, the exploration of humanity and folk culture in both regional novels to analyze their essential distinctions. We further compare the material strength’s negative influences and destructiveness for the nature and human. In development, the city material power brings abundant material culture and also devastates seriously the spiritual ecology and nature environment. Meanwhile, it change them from integrity to fragment. It is the hope of the author to bring a new light to confront with the problem of the economic development and the negative impact so as to protect nature ecology and spiritual ecology.
