双面中国——论前期创造社小说中中国形象建构问题

Double-Faceted China—a Research on China’s Image Construction in Earlier Stage of Creation Society Fiction

前期创造社小说中多漂泊异乡的零余者的形象和闪耀着古昔中国的光芒,这一方面源自作家直接的异域体验;另一方面与中国文学自身的流变、演进相关。因此,在中国形象的建构问题上,与晚清以梁启超为代表的理想派不同,与同时期以鲁迅为代表的反抗绝望派不同,前期创造社小说中的中国形象显示出一种双面性:将个体化的中国人形象塑造成漂泊海外的弱国子民;而在对群体化的中国形象进行塑造时,却始终不愿面对落后、困顿的中国,而是将笔触倾注在传统中国形象的复归上。

The vagrant figure and radiance from ancient China in the early Chuang-Zao-She fictions have their origin in the authors＇ exotic experience and the evolvement of the traditional Chinese literature. Therefore, fictions written in the early Chuang-Zao-She period presents itself as a double-faceted one： on one hand, the figure is individualized as a helpless overseas Chinese; on the other hand, the Chinese group is reluctant to face the backward China but devotes themselves to the rejuvenation of a traditional China.
