表现自由之“性灵”——论林语堂《瞬息京华》的创作意蕴

An Expression of Personality with Freedom

林语堂在中国现代文学作家中可以说是比较特殊的一位。他从最初的慷慨激昂、浮躁凌厉到之后迫成隐士,转而大谈与当时政治环境有所相左的“性灵说”,闲适笔调。这样大的转变,也是当时许多文坛人士笔伐以林语堂为代表的论语派的重要原因。笔者试图结合林语堂的个人经历及其代表小说《京华烟云》(林语堂自译为《瞬息京华》)的创作,来体现他每个时期的创作,都是其张扬自由之“性灵”最真实的表现。

We may say that Lin Yutang is a quite special one among the Chinese modern literature writers.He was fervent initially,then he changed,but discussed frequently about the personality theory and leisure attitude.This maybe the important reason of being denounced by so many authors then.Now the author attempts to unify Lin Yutang＇s personal experience and his representative work—《Moment in Peking》,in order to embody his every period＇s creation,are all the most true expression of his freedom＇s personality.
