绝望的反抗与自然的呼唤——《阿Q正传》《边城》生命观比较

Desperate Rebellion and the call of Nature——comparison of the life view in The True Story of Ah Q and The Border Town

鲁迅和沈从文通过《阿Q正传》《边城》的文学创作阐述对生命和人生的认识,执著而痛苦地探寻生命意义与价值。鲁迅要求我们要正视中国人的生存困境,并且反抗一切妨碍国人生存与发展的现实黑暗。沈从文则认为,生命是上帝的造物,本质上是美丽的,生命本性只有在其最初家园即自然中,才能得到真实而充分体现。文章从三个方面进行论述,即生命形态:卑琐萎缩与刚柔相济的不同展演;生命内核:祖先崇拜和爱与美的张扬;生命归宿:摧毁奴隶根性与天人合一的境界。

Through their works, Lu Xun and Shen Congwen elaborate their own understanding about life and seek for the value of life by thinking about it. Lu requires us to face with the difficulties, to fight against all the darkness that hinders the Chinese people to exist and develop, and to be committed to the improvement of the reality, life and man. While Shen holds that life is made by God, which is beautiful in essence. Human is beautiful by nature, the toughest enemy of holiness of life is the lust from the real world. The nature of life can only be shown truly in nature. This paper discusses the idea in the following three aspects ： the state of life, the core of life and the destination of life.
