被阉割的英雄——对孙悟空与哪吒故事的一种新解读

Castrated Heroes——The New Interpretation on the Tales of SUN Wuk-ong and NE Zha

孙悟空和哪吒是中国古典文学中两个十分受人喜爱的形象,他们的故事存在着惊人的相似。这两个以反叛精神著称的人物上演了一出出人格被异化的悲剧,体现了一种文化中的"阉割情结"。他们实质上是被中国古代父权文明所阉割。在当今社会,阉割恐惧仍然广泛存在,传统理性文明遗留的桎梏仍值得我们深思。

SUN Wu-kong and NE Zha bearing a great similarity are perhaps the most beloved fictional characters in classical Chinese literature. And these two characters, who are widely known for their rebellious spirit, present different kinds of alienation tragedy. In fact, the personality of them is alienated finally, which implies the Castration Complex in Chinese culture. They were in- deed castrated by the patricentric culture in ancient China. However, castration fears are still in existence. So great attention should be paid to the shackles left behind the logos tradition.
