论中国现代作家怀念童年的主观动因

On the Subjective Motives of Modern Chinese Writers’ Childhood Memory

中国现代作家之所以对童年极力礼赞与讴歌,除了深受西方浪漫主义思潮的客观影响以及作家自身多为青春少年之外,从作家的主观意志来考察,笔者认为主要出于如下3个方面的原因:将童年视为与世俗成人世界相对立的理想王国,希望借此驱除现实世界的残酷阴冷,以获得心灵情感的慰藉,是现代作家屡屡怀念童年的首要动因;其次,童年印证了自我本体的曾经存在,也使得自我价值曾经得以彰显;第三,怀念童年,本质上亦是现代作家对人性返朴归真的呼唤和对民族品德重建的期待。
