历史与艺术:关于小说《红岩》的两种“真实”

History and Art:Two Realities about the Novel Redrock

小说《红岩》是新中国文学发行量最大的一部红色经典,作者以自己身陷囹圄的所见所闻,热情讴歌了共产党人的英雄气概与高尚品格,几十年来一直都是进行革命传统教育的正面教材。但是小说中的《红岩》故事,并不等于历史上的"红岩"故事,它们分别隶属于艺术真实和历史真实两个不同范畴,盲目地将两者人为混淆简单等同是极其幼稚的错误举措。

Hong Yan is a red classic with a historical subject.However,the plot of the novel is far from the historical reality.The novel Hong Yan is not equal to the real Hong Yan history： the former refers to ＂artistic truth＂,while the latter ＂ historical truth＂.The Hong Yan history is obviously exaggerated and fictionalized beyond the historical truth by the author.It only exists as artistic truth in the novel.Hence,pure aesthetic truth should not be mistaken for historical truth.
