在传统的祭坛上——《白鹿原》女性形象评析

On the Sacrificial Altar of Tradition——On the Female Images in Bai Lu Yuan

陈忠实的《白鹿原》是我国当代长篇小说创作中不可多得的含义深刻的作品,它体现了作者对传统道德文化回归的深切渴望,但同时又流露出作者对传统道德伦理的矛盾心态。小说中田小蛾等女性形象的塑造正是这种矛盾心态的体现,作品一方面表现她们在伦理道德束缚之下的不幸命运,一方面又以传统的道德伦理为准绳来审视和评判她们,使她们成为回归传统、重塑道德的理所当然的牺牲品。

Bai Lu Yuan by Chen Zhongshi is one of the few works with profound implication among the contemporary novels. It gives expression to the author's heartfelt eagerness for the returning of the traditional moral culture, but meanwhile it also reveales the author's contradictory psychology of the traditional moral principles. The portrayal of such femal images as Tian Xiao'er in this novel reflects this contradictory psychology. On one hand, the works depicts their unfortunate fates under the yoke of the moral ethics, on the other hand, they have also been judged by the traditional moral ethics as criterion, which makes them victims of the returning of traditon and the remoulding of morality.
