渗透了生命的冷——浅谈沈从文小说的冷色调

The Life Infiltrating Coldness——On the cold tone of Shen Congwen's novels

沈从文的《边城》等小说中有一种不太被关注的冷。湘西的青山碧水和浓郁的人神共处的楚文化是沈从文作品的根基,也是这种冷的成因。他的文章是他抵达了生命的源头,畏于死亡又直面于死亡,而对生死的无常与死亡的必然所做出的深深的思考。

Shen Congwen＇s novels such as Border Town embrace a sort of coldness that tends to be neglected. The picturesque landscape of Xiangxi Prefecture and the distinctive Chu culture which stresses the harmonious coexistence between human and God not only lay the foundation for Shen Congwen＇s literary works but also constitutes the main elements for the coldness. His works shows his contemplation over the end of life, the mixture of feelings in face of death as well as the inevitable death for one＇s fickle life.
