中国古典小说叙事空间的文化论析

Cultural analysis of the narrative space of Chinese classical novels

中国古典小说形成重视空间的审美趋向,无论短篇小说还是长篇巨制均是如此。叙事空间和单纯的环境描写亦有所不同,具有明显的观念化取向,这主要是因古代哲学传统中重视自然的观念所致,而园林艺术、万物为道之表现的思维方式也影响了古典小说体制的建构生成。

It＇s characteristic of Chinese classical novels, whether short or long, to attach importance to the aesthetic expression of space. Narrative space differs from pure environmental description in that the former is obviously ideology-oriented, and such a feature can be traced to the ancient philosophy that cherished nature and gardening and viewed all things on earth as the embodiment of Taoism.
