“京味”:近代北京小说家的探索

Beijing Flavor ——The Exploration of Modern Beijing Novelists

清末民初,近代北京小说家们开始探索建立人们称之为“京味”的风格,形成了以关注世道人心为宗旨、叙事态度从容练达和展现北京市民文化的特点。早期京味小说的出现除了人们熟知的地域文化的影响,主要由于晚清以来现代化冲击给北京社会带来的思潮和文化机制上的变化。

Since 1890s,Modern Beijing Novelists have tried to create novels with Beijing flavor. These novelists focused on ethical relation with leisurely narrative attitude, and concerned Beijing citizen's culture. Besides local culture that was widely known, there were two factors which engender novels with Beijing-flavor. One was modernization shock to culture system of Beijing, another was introspection of Chinese culture.
