回归儒学的救赎之路——以森鸥外《蛇》的隐喻解读为中心

The Road to Salvation by Returning Confucianism——Focusing on the Metaphorical Interpretation of “Snake” by Ogai Mori

森鸥外作为与夏目漱石齐名的文学巨擘活跃于日本明治、大正文坛,是儒学教养深厚并接受西学的"双足"文人,同时又是兼具体制内官员与文学创作者双重身份的"两生"生活者。森鸥外的文学作品发轫于日本现实,具有深入的时代思考。在短篇小说《蛇》中,森鸥外运用关系隐喻的文学手法,在穗积家构建出天皇制国家的场域,将日俄战争之后日本"时代闭塞"下"烦闷青年"的特点具化于穗积家新世代青年,描述出他们的近代自我意识与天皇制国家体制冲突中的自我主张的盲目性与冲动性,并试图通过回归儒学传统对这一时代病症予以匡正。

As a Japanese literary giant whose status is equal to Soseki Natsume,Ogai Mori was active in literary world of Japan in the Meiji and Taisho period.He is a scholar with diverse education who had profound Confucian education and accepted western learning simultaneously.At the same time,he was also a dual identity of both internal officials and literary creators.Hailed by Shuichi Kato as"personalization of the times"Ogai Mori’s literary works was originated from Japanese reality and contained profound epochal thinking.In his short story"Snake",Ogai Mori used the literary technique of relational metaphor to construct the field of the emperor system in the Hozumi family,and embodied the characteristics of the"depressed youth"who was under the"era blockade"of Japan after the Russo-Japanese War in the new generation of young people in Hozumi family.This book revealed the opposition between the self and the emperor system in modern times,and also discovered that there was some blindness and impulsiveness of self-assertion in the modernization process of Japan,which tried to correct the illness of this era by returning to the Confucian tradition.
