柳燕情结——评丰子恺《缘缘堂随笔》

The complex of willow and swallow——A comment on Yuanyuan Hall Informal Essay by Feng Zi-kai

丰子恺先生的漫画和散文均以素朴自然的日常生活为题材,随意点染却情趣盎然,神韵自生。杨柳和燕子是他作品中的重要题材,稚杨嫩柳经常同翩翩飞舞的小燕子一同出现,使他的漫画总是充满浓浓的春天气息;这种"杨柳情结"同样再现于他的散文创作中,使他的散文虽多取材于生活琐事,可淡淡描来满是诗意、谐趣。这一情结作为生活追求的写照,完美地向世人展现着先生雅致的生活态度和高尚的人格追求。

The cartoons and proses by Mr. Feng Zikai often take the simple natural daily life as the main theme. Although he often uses simple words and expressions in his works, it is actually full of interest and romantic charm. Willows and swallows are the important subjects in his works, the simultaneous appearance of tender willow and flying swallow makes his cartoons be full of spring image and the complex of willow and swallow also appears in his prose creations, which makes his proses come from trivial things but be full of po- etry and humors. As the true portraiture of life pursuit, the complex unfolds perfectly his graceful life attitude and his noble personality pursuit.
