山野精神——诗意的限度

The Naturalistic Spirit of Returning to Mountains and Plains: An Extreme Limit of Poetic Creation

本文阐述1976年以后在当代小说中存在的自然倾向及其审美动机。本文认为:向自然回归的历程,就其本质来看,是生命觉醒的历程。《九月寓言》对自然的抒写达到了诗美的极致,重现了“山野精神”的魅力。但是,文本在寓言向度的规定上削弱了文本的张力。美感和思想,或者美和真善并不总是和谐的。对日益技术化的人类来说,神话时代才是健康的生命之火取之不尽用之不竭的能源。

In this paper are investigated the naturalistic tendencies and the esthetic motive thereof. The author is of opinion that the course of returning to nature is in essence a course of life awakening. The description of Mother Nature in September Fables has reached the uppermost extremity of poetic beauty by reproducing the charm of the wilderness of mountains and plains. Nevertheless, the dimension of fable defined by the author of the book weakens its tension. Artistic feeling and thought are not always in harmony with each other, nor are the true and the good and the beautiful with one another. It is the age of mythology that is the inexhaustible source of the fire of healthy life for human beings living in a hi-tech society.
