死亡的惧悲与奂美——论川端康成的死亡意识

Sorrowful Dread and Magnificent Beauty of Death——On Kawabata Kona's Consciousness of Death

"川端文学"透射出明显的死亡意识,原因在于作者心路历程中太多的死亡体验、日本民族独特的自然体悟以及佛禅生死观念的影响。但"川端文学"中的死亡不单是一种世俗的悲惧感情,还是一种主动悲苦的生命态度,更是一种不灭的宇宙精神,所以,川端康成笔下的死亡是恐惧悲哀的,又是美奂美仑的。

＂Kawabata literature＂ manifests an obvious consciousness of death, which owes much to the author＇ s considerable experience of death in his psychology, the distinctive learning from nature, and Buddhist view of life and death. However, the death in ＂Kawabata literature＂ means neither a worldly feeling of sorrow and terror, nor an active sorrowful attitude to life, nor a non-extinctive spirit of universe. As a result, the death penned by Kawabana is both frightful and sorrowful and beautiful and magnificent.
