Political Situation,Village People,Art Character——On Classic Significance of Furong Town

长篇小说《芙蓉镇》以1963年、1964年、1969年和1979年4个具有特殊意义的年代为背景,以湖南一个3省交界的偏僻小镇──芙蓉镇为舞台,通过胡玉音、秦书田、王秋赦等人物近20年来的颠沛沉浮,揭示了历史的曲折进程,彻底否定了极左路线,表明了十一届三中全会以后拨乱反正、正本清源是大势所趋、人心所向,宣告了"一个可悲可叹的时代"彻底终结。在艺术上,小说以浓缩化和浮雕式的叙述体现社会生活的风俗化,使其文学语言别具韵味,各呈斑斓。也正因此,《芙蓉镇》不仅因一个时代的忠实记录而具有极高的认识价值,也因出色的艺术品格跻入当代长篇小说的经典之列。
