高阳《胡雪岩全传》的创作手法分析

Analysis of Writing Techniques in Hu Xueyan Biography by Gaoyang

历史小说在创作中时常处于一种两难境地。高阳在艺术创造与客观真实之间找到了历史小说特有的"实中求虚,虚中见实"的创作方法。以《胡雪岩全传》为例,着力分析高阳的创作手法,即以历史人物和历史事件为题材展开艺术的想象,是历史化的小说,而不是历史,不是对历史事实的重新忆述。而这一点正是当代学者评判和分析中国现代历史小说的正确的标准。

While writing a historical novel,the novelist tends to fall into a dilemma.Gao Yang strikes a balance between artistic creation and the objective reality;furthermore he develops his unique technique of allowing figment of the imagination and facts to co-inhabit with each other.In this thesis,the author takes Biology of Huxueyan as an example to analyze the techniques Gaoyang builds in his writing on the historical figures and historical events by exerting his artistic imagination.Thus,what he produces is historical novel instead of a record of history.At this point his writing lives up to the measure of modern Chinese historical novel which the present critics apply.
