二元对立的矛盾纠缠——论周作人20世纪二三十年代的散文艺术

On Contradiction Tangles from Binary Opposition——On Zhou Zuo-ren's Prose Works during 1920s—30s

20世纪二三十年代周作人的小品文由前期浮躁凌厉之巅向平和冲淡之谷转变,追求一种闲适蕴藉、"自我表现"的趣味之风;但透过其柔和的笔调,却又可以发现其散文貌似平淡实质蕴含"苦"和"涩"之味。由此,构成了其小品散文存在平淡与苦涩矛盾对立纠缠的二元风格。具体言之,"平和冲淡"不是周作人散文的唯一风貌,"凌厉苦涩"也不是周作人散文的仅有格调。周作人的散文风格是既"平和冲淡"又"凌厉苦涩"的,是由辐射性与内敛性这二元相结合的统一体,你中有我,我中有你,既对立又纠缠。周作人小品散文纠缠于二元之间的复杂风格,既让我们看到了其散文丰富多彩的一面,也有利于我们进一步了解其颇受争议的一生。

During 1920s to 30s, Zhou Zuo-ren＇ s essays transformed from the summit of fierce and forceful to the valley of mild and tasteless becoming a quietly refined style in the taste of ＂self-expression＂ However, it can be discovered that in his soft wording, the apparently uninspired essays contain the taste of bitterness, which form the style of binary opposition of plain and bitterness in-his essays. Specifically speaking, ＂mild and tasteless＂ is not the only features in Zhou Zuo-ren＇s prose, nor ＂forceful and bitterness＂ his only pattern. Zhou Zuo-ren＇s prose style contains the both, and is the combination of the binary, opposition in radiation and in restraint, which are opposite but also tangled. The complex binary opposition tangles in Zhou Zuo-ren＇s essays enable us observe the aspect of rich variety in his prose works, and also demonstrate his controversial life.
