莫言，原名管謨業，1955年出生於山東省高密縣，是中國新一輩極具活力的作家之一。八十年代初以一系列鄉土作品崛起，被歸類為『尋根派』作家。寫作風格素以大膽見稱，其成名作《紅高粱》，出現不少血腥的場面和強烈的感情控訴。莫言自謂一直深受民間故事或傳說的影響，故鄉高密的一景一物正是他創作的靈感泉源。其中短篇小說，如《紅耳朵》 和《傳奇莫言》，以及極具份量的長篇小說，如《天堂蒜苔之歌》、《酒國》 及《豐乳肥臀》等，先後在臺灣推出，到現在創作力仍不稍減，可說是一位值得期待，且質量並重的作家。本論文乃以其中曾獲大獎（大陸第二屆馮牧文學獎之軍旅文學創作獎），並搬上銀幕的《紅高粱家族》入手，用存在主義心理分析的角度，介入高粱地裡愛與死的主題，去見證莫言在文本中所高唱的「原始生命力」；對他而言，「紅高粱」不但是一圖騰象徵，也是一原始的呼喚，更是他一生自我追尋的目標。
