Old Themes and New Feelings——On Shi Zhe-cun’s Novel Kumarajiva

施蛰存的历史佛教题材小说《鸠摩罗什》展现了主人公从自我欺骗到自我暴露再到自我掩饰的过程。作者在传统的历史佛教这样的"旧题材"中运用了西方弗洛伊德理论、"内视角"的心理分析、象征手法等创作手法,形成了新颖的感觉模式,创作了"新感觉"派下的"旧题材"中的"新小说",为历史佛教题材小说的读者提供了新的阅读体验。

Shi Zhe-cun＇s historical Buddhist novel Kumarajiva reveals the process of the leading character from self-deception, self-betrayal to self-disguise. In the traditional ＂old themes＂ of historical Buddhism, the writer use the western Freud theory, the ＂insight＂ psychological analysis, and symbolism to form the novel sensory mode and to create a ＂new novel＂ with ＂the old theme＂ under the ＂new sensation＂, thus providing a new reading experience for the historical Buddhist novel readers.
