论清末民初社会言情小说的启蒙思想

The Enlightenment Ideology of the Social Sentimental Novels In the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Days of the Republic of China

清末民初的社会言情小说是时代的一面镜子,它将言情与社会结合起来,以社会为经,言情为纬,全面反映了那个时代的历史面目,特别是作为时代精英的知识分子,他们在时代的镜子面前都客观的体现出了不同的思想和态度:堕落、异化、苦闷、彷徨、追求。在这过渡时代的背后,走出了具有朦胧启蒙思想的觉醒者,开始了近代小说向现代小说的过渡。尽管还体现着幼稚和不成熟,但启蒙成为这一时代的主题。这段时期的历史,主要是通过新的小说形式——社会言情小说来表达的。因此,我们要全面了解这个时代就不能疏忽这一时期的小说,而社会言情小说,以它思想的深刻性,具有永恒的艺术魅力。

Social sentimental novel, a proper combination of sentiment and society, in late Qing Dynasty and early days of the Republic of China, is the history of the times in miniature. As the flower of the times, intellectuals are characterized by different ideologies and attitudes including degeneration, alienation, depression, indecision and pursuit. The awakening of some writers with dim enlightenment ideology in the transitional period starts the change of novels from modem times to contemporary times with the theme of enlightenment in spite of their immaturity. Sentimental novels, with their profound ideology and eternal artistic charming, reflect history of the times.
