民族意识与抗战文化——林语堂抗战期间文化活动的思想检讨

National Awareness and the Anti-Japanese Culture:The Infrospection of Lin Yutang's Cultural Activities during the Period of the War

抗战期间林语堂的文化努力,既提升了民族形象,又增强了民族自信心与凝聚力,对中国人民抗日斗争是起着激励作用的;抗战文化是一种爱国主义的文化,但说到底是以多元政治为基础的统一战线文化,多元政治奠定了多元文化的基础,也决定了各自文化的走向;自由主义者的林语堂只是接受了民族文化观,而没有考虑到民族文化的领导权问题,这是他的局限性所在。

Li Yutang＇ s cuhural activities during the period of the Anti- Japanese War have not only exalted the national status of China, but also strengthened the confidence and solidarity of the nation, thus playing an inspiring role for the Chinese people to fight against Japan. As a type of patriotic culture, the Anti - Japanese culture is, in the long run, one of the United Front based upon multi - politics; whereas the multiple politics have established the foundation for the multiple cultures. As a liberalist, Lin has only accepted the view of a national culture, but at the same time, he has failed to take its leadership into consideration. This is, after all, his own limitations.
