《绿野仙踪》对封建末世读书人处境、心态的文化解读

The cultural interpretation of Tracks and Traces of Supernatural Beings in the Green Country to the situation and mentality of literati in the last phase of feudal age

《绿野仙踪》常被看作是一部道教小说,事实上,作品借助道教题材,揭示了封建末世读书人的艰难处境和矛盾心态:坚持气节人品与执著前途功名的困境,入世不能与出世不甘的矛盾,理性追求与感性欲望的斗争。并且,作者从社会实际出发,对读书人的出路作了有益的探索。

Tracks and Traces of Supernatural Beings in the Green Country has often been considered as a Taoist story. In fact, it only made use of Taoist stories to reveal the difficult situation and ambivalent mentality of literati＇s in the last phase of feudal age, that is, the dilemma of persisting in integrity and persevering in fame and achievement, the contradiction of going out of secularity and going into secularity and the struggle of rational pursuit and perceptual desire. Moreover, the author has made some helpful investigation to the literati＇s way out in the actual world.
