二十世纪四十年代沦陷区乡土小说主题与民俗意义

The Themes and Folkloristic Significance of Rural Novels of the Occupied Areas in 1940s

在“沦陷区”恶劣的文化生态中,大多数乡土作家在“言”与“不言”的两难困境中依然坚守自己的历史责任,他们在揭示民间精神和民族道义的同时,冷静理性地审视乡土世界,表达自己丰富的“现代胸臆”。同时也应该看到,虽然一些沦陷区作家作品流露出了比较浓重、消极的唯美主义、色情和宗教的意识,但仍然具有不可或缺的文学史意义。

In the worst cultural situation of the occupied areas, most of the rural writers adhered to their historical responsibility as writers when facing the difficult choice of speaking and silence. They not only tried hard to express their folk spirit and national morality, but also soberly and reasonably examined the rural areas by expressing their rich “modern feelings”. It should not be overlooked that the writers and their works from the occupied areas had betrayed an awareness of the negative aestheticism, eroticism and religiousness, but are still indispensable in the history of Chinese literature.
