老向创作的黄土情结和大众风格

The Yellow Soil Sense and the Common Style of Lao Xiang's Writing

20世纪20年代,一场席卷中原大地的“平民教育”运动,催生了一位“农民文学家”———老向,是他将五四“平民文学”的倡导推入田野实践。抗战爆发后,他又率先进入通俗文学领域。一个自由派作家强烈的乡村意识和朴素的平民关怀,使他的文学创作直达民间和民众,较早搭建起新文学与读者受众之间沟通的桥梁,从某种意义上看,老向的创作又是40年代中国文学民族化和大众化的“前期实验”。老向的文学实践表明,新文学从“西学“到最终走向民族化和大众化的运行轨道,这既是一种历史的必然,也是文学家们的理性自觉。

In the twenties of the 20th Century, one civilian education movement spread all over China, which urged a peasant liteator--Laoxiang, He put ＂civilian literature＂ and ＂Wusi＂ into field practice. After the anti--Japanese war was over, he first entered the popular literature field. He had strong village consciousness and especially cared about common people, which made his literature creation reach the heart of people and folk. So in the early days he built a bridge between news literature and readers. On some point, Laoxiang＇s creation is ＂the pre--experiment＂ to make Chinese literature nationality and popular in the 1940＂s. His literature experiment expresses that news literature rceches his own orbit of nationality and popularity from ＂Learning from the west＂ at last. This is not only the result of history development, hut also the literators rational conciousncss.
