In dealing with the question of black heritage, with her mother and sister have very different attitudes. Dee personality is distinct, symbolic meaning. Analysis Dee is easy to set up the correct values to this nation and its heritage. This is not only a single of black heritage, but also has a positive meaning in how to inherit our Chinese cultural heritage Key words: black; Cultural heritage; revelation; character1.the author and creation background (1944 -), Alice Walker is an American female poet, novelist and publicists, for since the 1970 s the United States is one of the most famous black women writers in literary world. Alice walker was born in a poor family, in south Georgia in 1961 into the university of Perelman, and involved in the political movement for racial equality. After graduation she continues to fight for the movement of the blacks the right to vote. The main works for novel purple (1982), the novel the third life of grange Copeland, (1970), collection the story of love and worry: black women (1973) and the novel the merry dean (1976). Alice walker encouraged women who through the struggle for freedom and equality and seek the real self and independence and full of human nature. Alice walker is good at describing the rural women especially focus on the analysis of the relationship between the black and black. She is in her novel vividly reflects the sufferings of the black women, praises them to cope with adversity strong character of the spirit and strive for. “Everyday use” from the stories “the story of love and worry: black women”, it is the background of the seventy s to the mid - seventy - the United States come black civil rights movement. Is the main idea of this campaign against white racial segregation and racial discrimination? With the deepening of the movement, the government subsequently announced that the legitimacy of the black power. At the same time, the black cultural nationalism in the sixties also arises at the historic moment. Many blacks began to start their own roots. Also has a lot of people are beginning to reject American blacks injury history, full of pain to promote black best. At that time, many blacks once fell into confusion for how to position and how to treat our national cultural heritage .The author of this article the grandmother everyday use is to use the technique of symbol, expressed his attitude of black cultural heritage.2 Dees characteristics and its symbolic meaningFirst of all, I want to say, some people think that Dee is a traditional black culture rebel; I am not in favor of this point. Dee is not a rebel; she just walked the path of the inheritance of national heritage detours, set foot on the stray. According to the article, has analyzed the Dee characteristics and briefly illustrate its symbolic significance. Dees pride and vanity is extremely strong, her unwilling fall. At the same time also bold, competitive, she dont give up to reach the goal. Treat others; she used a critical eye, like the act of the monologue of the performance. She live in their own world, outsiders are hard to go into her heart, she is also hard to go out, express yourself the most real emotions. The article is given priority to with the mothers remade, describes the Dee before and after the former home. The mothers memory and impression of Dee a description of the most can let a person to get to know Dee. To borrow her mothers mouth are Maggie for her sisters impression: she felt sister really is the master of life, what to want what she can get; the world has not yet learned to say half a no to her. And then mother said: she (Dee) not afraid for anybody, hesitate is not her nature. Few words let us had an overall understanding on Dee. Later not to scratch to her mother to dress shoes mother said: when she wants something always desperate to hard, never give up reaching the goal, she could stare at you for several minutes without even blinking an eye. According to all these concise description it is not hard to see Dees character stubborn perseverance and strong. Dress up since childhood pays attention to the external, pushy, without scruple home poor living conditions. Because she didnt want to appear too shabby, even if not costly, but at least be decent and only in this way can the pride of the living, let others by her attraction, surrounded around her. With respect to its character of critical side can be seen from the treatment of the pursuit of Jimmy. There is no doubt that she like Jimmy, want to with him, but she is not according to normal thinking to his followers, but all her dainty skill with Jimmys at all. When Jimmy finally married to someone else, she is very sad; it is difficult to calm down. Dee sees few love is beautiful, even if is very obvious to ignore, although she knows, but never expressed. But there are words said which seems most proud, the heart is often the most vulnerable. Keep maintainer Dee own self-respect, never willing to put down the proud shelf, even in front of his mother and sister, even above the highest. So she wills regardless of the mother and sister whether is willing to impose their ideas upon them. She wants just a sense of accomplishment, and her mother and her sister is the best person who could give her a sense of accomplishment, because in her opinion, they are ignorant. But her heart is with low self-esteem, not just as a girl, more as a black man. Despite decades of movement, the black rights in law have the safeguard, but most blacks still living in the past life, can not accept. And concluded that time, even the legal documents to do the rules, the situation of the execution still are not very optimistic. So Dee to excessive pursuit of the external form of face, work hard in order to their own dignity dont want to be insurmountable. Even the home, she still look bright, she still did not get off the stage. Dee always care about as black .In the process of growing her desire with black life thoroughly from the poor, deeply hate the house that hind her which became a prison. She is eager to learn, flew out of the growth environment, explore her own space to the outside world. And she can think of at the beginning only by external to let oneself also want to let others to ignore their skin color, do an ordinary person. So when the suddenly fire dynamic, Dee would like a completely unrelated people, can sit on the sidelines, standing under the tree is very dedicated, and even the mouth cape will a smile. May be the mother said is right. she will have to be dancing on the ruins of the steaming, celebrated his brief liberation. Thus, Dee is a precocious child, her age at the time, although is not big, but her equanimity no panic. She always felt that the destruction of everything with a black mark is out of this black lifes hope ,which let her off completely with this kind of life is much a chip. So when the fire swallowed up the house, she was happy. Instead, she dont have to worry about in fire burnt remnants of the younger sister, dont worry about the future of living, she just want to escape, she felt all along not belong here. For the fire, I believe there is a reason that Dee even burned everything. So it is conceivable that she is how much effort on study, because she knows this is the best way. After all, a mother can raise tuition for their children to go at all, and the church is not so simple. At least this can explain Dee well enough, at least in terms of their learning. But one more thing, she is not rude to give up of the same flesh and blood of love. The family and mother and sister she still have the feeling. So when back home to visit her mother, she can not let the body inconvenience mother to stand up to meet; She can not let the mother call her to mend again with obscure name; She can feel at easy sitting to the food home with relish. She can also even after the last request from take a quilt, also puts forward advice to younger sister, at least, in her opinion that is good. She just wanted to get rid of the environment black blood, after all, not to say that threw it open. Even she is not to abandon our national cultural heritage. Just before she didnt find the proper way, dont know how to look at, know only vaguely conflicting emotions, and want to get rid of after birth and black imprint of pressure on myself. This a stamp to make her more and feel the gap between whites, and only knowledge education can let her have the possibility of escape. Because for a long period of time that black slaves, violence is foolish and dirty. And when she has the backing of the certain education, at least can let a person feel not that kind of ignorance.For everything in the world, Dee, have their own unique ideas, at the same time as a person who completed the higher education, she is resilient, willing to accept new ideas, and so after the influenced by the thoughts of the black cultural nationalism, suddenly found that the black old she dont like before also has its special artistic purposes. No longer just the daily necessities of family life, but black precious cultural heritage, should be vigorously promoted things of high value. The ideas of the original, is mainly about her special eyes. Whether her mind is right or biased, she also is a living, thinking and personality character. Orchid with its leaves, flowers, fragrant four clean-ups (gas, color clear, god sing, rhyme), give a person with a beautiful image of the noble, elegant. Flower gentlemans position of its sovereignty in China, is also loved by people in foreign countries. In the eyes of Dee, orchid is vulgar very low cost. I think this is the author intends to metaphor, orchid nobility but weak, carefully care to grow. Dee dont like being kept in a greenhouse, she want is a broad heaven and earth. She like purple poppy, swaying attractive color and luster is with the toxicity. At the same time, she cant flowing underneath the supple blood, for his own name her unhappy too. Because in her opinion, that with the color of the oppression of slavery and this is not her favorite. Finally, she went to the outside world to go to school, to accept new things, received the influence of the black cultural nationalism, start with a new view of the grandmother of everyday use, think of black identity and cultural heritage. Then she thought is hot, with an unprecedented enthusiasm to see black. Affected by the black is the most beautiful thoughts effect she found the home of many commodities and unique beauty. She will be desperate to rob, think as long as she would like. She startled that her mother will refused, just as ruthless. It can be said the last she is disappointed to leave, not sad. For this precious heritage, she wants to have her surface, rather than the internal heritage, heritage core values - comes from life, return to life, to life. For Dee image of the symbolic significance, has quite a few people done. In view of the work of writing background is practical. In the article “ Everyday use the symbolism of female characters “the author consider Dee is the symbol of black culture nationalism movement, said although when the term black is beautiful is popular. Most blacks to own certification is not accurate. Their trip to trace only stop at the surface, the understanding of cultural heritage is very shallow, just pay attention to the external manifestation of culture, rather than its inherent richness. This is accord with Dees performance in the novel. At the same time, the black woman writer Coth Lama also pointed out, in his book, Dee to participate in the cultural nationalism movement. So this statement is reasonable. But at the same time, I dont think Dee is a person, also is not just a group of people. She is the embodiment of an abstract value idea; shes just a specific concept. To the search for the root, acceptance and approval of its culture, especially when there are black people who full of suffering with pain of black culture, the journey is more difficult. A considerable part of peoples heart, dont know where to go, also dont know is which part of the accepted. Some people even most people accepted the thoughts of cultural nationalism in the prospect of infection, to accept the idea. So, not so much Dee is the symbol of black culture nationalism as the symbol of the lost generation. Believe that after constantly struggling to explore and pursue, theyll find belongs to own real root. No matter what is the Dees symbol, this doesnt affect the authors direction or showed his palpitations .Finally her mothers choice explicitly tells the reader, what the right attitude towards the cultural heritage .3, the enlightenment of the transmission of cultural heritageAs the national heritage is not only belongs to the national also belongs to the whole world, the attitude of the national heritage is also the world. Every nation in dealing with this problem will have many differences, but the overall thoughts should be consistent. As mentioned above, cultural heritage should be derived from life, return to life, in life. This is not only for black heritage, for our cultural heritage of the Chinese nation as well as applicable. Cultural heritage is the ancestors constantly accumulated under the dribs and drabs in everyday life with their diligence and wisdom created. Only return to life, it can glow charming luster. Today, our national heritage succession is gradually into a corner. Although we know the good and discard the dregs, but always feel empty. Because at this point, no one free to tell us which is the essence which is trash. It also brings a lot of trouble and confusion. Look at the cultural heritage of the now, is it into a kind of elegant art, rather than in the grassroots. Even if the common people all have the shadow of the cultural heritage left, but they are increasingly waned from ancient voices. Inheritance of cultural heritage is not talk about, not to buy dozens of hardcover edition of the analects mercies put high on the shelves, and should be let ordinary to absorb nutrients to the ancient culture, benefit from it. But the truth is, to absorb the cultural heritage is gradually shift to the upper. Yu Dan will be popular, also is precisely for this reason that Yi Zhongti
