民族体质融合对辽金文学的历史意义

The Historic Significance of Ethnic Fusion in Physique to the Liao and Jin Literature

民族融合不仅反映在文化融合方面,而且反映在体质融合方面。二者都对辽、金文学产生了显著影响。相对而言,文化融合的文学意义多为人所注目,然而体质融合的文学意义也不可低估。体质融合通过异质血统的不断交流使各族人一代又一代从异族父母双方获得不同族群的遗传基因,保证后代子孙在体格和智力方面持续不断地得以变异和优化。契丹、女真、渤海、鲜卑、突厥和汉都是体质融合的优生民族,孕育出大量作家,对辽、金文学的繁荣、发展有着重大的历史功绩。民族体质融合对辽、金文人和作家的气质、性格和文化心理结构的改造、重铸有决定性作用。辽、金两朝出现的大量的混血种作家和先世已被同化入汉人的北方民族后裔作家的文学成就和创作体貌也都充分体现了体质融合的重大历史意义。

Ethnic fusion is reflected not only in culture but also in physique. Both types of fusion had exerted remarkable influence on the Liao and Jin literature. The significance of cultural fusion to literature is generally known, even though that of physical fusion can never be underestimated yet. Physical fusion enabled generations of men to inherit genes of different races from their parents of different races through exchange of blood so that they can always keep deviating and improving in physique and intelligence. All the Kitan, Nuzhen, Bohai, Xianbei, Turkey and Han nationalities were eugenic product of physical fusion and gave birth to a large number of writers who played an important role in the flourishing and development of the Liao and Jin literature. Ethnic fusion in physique was decisive to the reformation and recasting of the temperament, character and cultural-psychology structure of the Liao and Jin men of letters. The literary achievements and creative physique by a large number of writers of mixed bloods and assimilated minority writers in Liao and Jin Dynasties also gave full expression to the historic significance of physical fusion.
