苏雪林小说的保守主义倾向 ──《棘心》、《天马集》论

Conservative Inclination of Su Xuelin's Novels-A Brief Comment on Thorny Heart and Heavenly Steed Collection

苏雪林的小说具有保守主义的色彩和倾向。《棘心》中，作者刻划女主人公在婚姻问题上的审慎、贞信和对家庭、父母的孝道，体现了对传统的尊重，符合保守主义对美德淑行的追求。《棘心》表达的人无至善亦不必强求至善的保守主义圆融的人性观，延续到《天马集》中，并成为其诠释保守主义政治理念的基础之一。作者还通过作品否认了因追求与现实严重脱节的乌托邦而对社会造成巨大破坏的激进主义举动，说明权威、纪律、秩序等存在的合理性，以及无完美之人的人性本真所决定的对于权威加以节制的必要性。

Su Xuelin's novels were imbued with conservative literary flavour and inclination. The author portrayed in Thorny Heart the heroine's circumspection, conservatism, and chastity and faithfulness on marriage and her filial piety to family and parents, which reflected her respect to tradition and her virtue and refined deeds in conformity with conservative standard and pursuance. The conservative and harmonious sense of human nature was expressed by Thorny Heart as' Man cannot be utmost good and it is unnecessay to insist on utmost good', which lasted into Heavenly Steed Collection and formed the basis for the latter to annotate conservative political idea. The author denied by literary works the act of radical type for it pursued Utopia which was seriously devourced from reality and would bring about tremendous damage to the society; and explained the rationality of the existence of authority and discipline and order; and explained the the necessity for the authority to be moderate in, which was determined by the truth of human nature that no man is perfect.
