个体命运与诗性生存——汪曾祺早期小说论

Individual' s Destiny and Poetic Survival——Theory of Wang Zengqi' s Early Novels

四十年代是汪曾祺小说的探索时期。在其早期小说创作中,出现了两种人物类型:一类人物作为寄托某种情绪思想的符号和象征出现,是作者与自己内心精神世界的对话;另一类人物被置于民间生活场景中,通过营造和谐平淡、富有诗意的氛围,暗含着一种生活审美理想,是其对外部现实世界的观照。二者共同体现了汪曾祺早期小说中对个体命运和现实人生的关注,同时也逐渐显露出自己的审美理想和艺术追求。

In the 1940s, Wang Zengqi is in the period of exploring his own novels. In his early novels, there are two kinds of characters. One character, as a sign and symbol which is entrusted to some kind of hope is presented in his novel and it is a dialogue between the author himself and his internal spiritual world. Another character, which is placed in daily life, implies an aesthetic ideal in life by creating a very harmonious, insipid and poetic atmosphere. It is a reflection of external reality world. Those jointly reflect that Wang Zengqi not only pays attention to individuals＇ destiny and realistic life but also gradually reveals his own aesthetic ideals and artistic pursuit in his early novels.
