试析黑塞小说中的道家思想

Analysis on Taoism in Hesse's novels

德国作家赫尔曼·黑塞从小就受到东方文化的熏陶和影响,他本人则是最崇拜《道德经》中道家的对立统一思想,这一思想一方面体现在小说中人物自身性格的矛盾以及最终超越矛盾后的统一,一方面体现在小说中不同人物之间性格上的截然对立和最终达到融合统一。黑塞的小说尽管题材不同,情节各异,但关于矛盾的对立统一思想可以说是其小说中的一条主线。

Hermann Hesse, a German writer, has grown up under the influence of the oriental culture. He personally adores the idea of the unity of opposites in 'Taoism Scripture', which is shown in the contradictions and unity in the personality of each character, as well as those of the personalities of different characters in his novels. The idea of unity of opposites permeates through all his novels regardless of their different subjects and plots.
