象征诗艺与民族寓言——论师陀的《果园城记》

Poetic Symbolism Art and National Fable——Study on Shi Tuo’s Orchard Town

师陀作于抗战时期的小说集《果园城记》是一部有着深刻象征含义的文化反思型小说,民族的灾难使师陀客观冷静地反省着中国的命运和前途,完成了对于乡土中国的想象和批判:它既指向中国传统文化,更指向乡土中国进入现代后的文化生存困境。无论从整体还是局部象征上,作家都实现了此种目的。

Orchard Town, novels collection created by Shi Tuo in the Anti-Japanese War, is a cultural reflective novel with profound symbolic meaning. Being keenly aware of national sufferings, Shi Tuo ruminated soberly and objectively on the future and destiny of China. Based on this understanding, imagination and criticism toward a rustic China were demonstrated in the novel. Not traditional Chinese culture but dilemma of rustic China＇s cultural existence in a modern society was involved in the novel. When reviewing Orchard Town as a whole or in part, readers could find that the author has successfully used symbolism art in both ways.
