论“张爱玲现象”的现代文学史意义

On the Significance of ZhANG Ai-ling Phenomenon to Modern Literary History

张爱玲是中国现代文学史上的一个“传奇”,其人其文相映成趣,构成了现代女性文学史上一道艳丽的风景,无论世人褒贬如何,她都是现代文学史上不可逾越的一座高峰,不可忽视的一种文学现象。首先,她的小说艺术性超越了以往所有女性作家,将传统与现代巧妙结合,以怪诞艳异苍凉为审美基调,开辟了女性写作的新天地;其次,她以女性自身特有的敏锐与感悟,脱离了种种主流意识形态加于女性书写的限制,顽强独立地用女性视角剖析女性精神世界,挖掘出女性心灵阴暗造成的女性悲剧,从而拓展了女性批判新视野。张爱玲的出现,一方面是对五四以来现代女性书写的一次全面突破与完美终结,同时又开启了女性写作新世纪的大门,成为后世女性书写的又一典范。

ZhANG Ai-ling is a legend in the history of modern Chinese literature. The significant part she played in the history of modern feminine literature has made her a literary phenomenon that cannot be neglected. Firstly, the artistry expressed in her novels surpassed that of all the female writers previous to her. Secondly, with the sensibility and perception peculiar to female, she devoiced herself from the restriction to female imposed by mainstream ideology, analyzed independently the spiritual world of women from the perspective of a female. The appearance of ZhANG Ai-ling is a breakup of and also a perfect end to writings about modern female since May 4^th Movement, and at the same time, it opened a door for a new feminine writing in the new century and it severed as a model for later feminine writing.
