论湖湘文化在《边城》、《芙蓉镇》中的不同书写

The Ideal Temple of Human Nature and the Severe Rural Pastoral——The different written forms of Huxiang Culture between the Border Town and the Hibiscus Town

沈从文的《边城》与古华的《芙蓉镇》是现当代湖南文学的两个典型范本,两部作品在描写风俗民情、刻画人物以及构建故事方面都不自觉地书写湖湘文化,打上了湖湘文化的深深烙印。《边城》抒发人性的美好,重在构建理想的人性神庙;《芙蓉镇》侧重在湖湘风景、风俗中展现时代的政治风云以及人物命运的变幻莫测,唱响了一曲严峻的乡村牧歌。两种风格的不同书写是湖湘文化在湖南作家中传承与开创的结果。

The Border Town written by Shen Congwen and the Hibiscus Town by Gu Hua are two typical samples of modem and contemporary Huxiang literature, These two works are unconsciously related with Huxiang culture in description of customs, characterization and construction of plot, which are all deeply marked by Huxiang culture. The Border Town expresses the beauty of human nature and lays emphasis on constructing the ideal human nature temple ;The Hibiscus Town strongly focuses on Huxiang scenery and customs shown in the political situation as well as the changeable fate of characters, it sounds like a serious piece of rural pastoral. Two different written styles are the result of Huxiang culture Inherited and created by the writers in Hunan.
