“童话诗人”对顾城诗歌全貌的遮蔽

Fairy-tales Poet:A Misleading Title for Gu Cheng

从舒婷称顾城为"童话诗人"之后,新时期文学界一致将顾城看作是当代唯一的一位"童话诗人"。但考察顾城一生所创作的2000余首诗歌,远不是一个"童话"可以概括的,其中存在大量的"非童话"因素。从创作历程上看,顾城的"童话诗"主要是在其创作早期完成的。这部分诗歌作品在顾城2000多首诗歌中只占有很小的比例。从创作内质上看,代表着顾城诗歌艺术水准的并不是其"童话诗",而是他以反思文革为背景的、带有强烈批判现实主义色彩的"朦胧诗"。即使是顾城早期的"童话诗",从写作目的来看,也大都与"童话"精神有所背离,其中有太多的与恐惧和死亡相关的"反童话"因素。这些"童话诗歌"从批判社会的意义上来解读更符合其诗之本意。因此,从整体上看,以"童话诗人"给顾城定位在很大程度上是对其诗歌全貌的一种遮蔽,甚至是一种深刻的误读。这种定位既不利于我们全面认识顾城,也大大矮化了顾城的诗歌成就。

Since Shu Ting named Gu Cheng ＂fairy-tales＂ poet , Gu Cheng has been regard as only ＂fairy-tales poet＂by literature circle in the new period .But when we study all the poems about two thousands written in his lifetime ,we will find that the phrase ＂fairy-tales＂can＇t summarize his poems. In his poetry, there is a plenty of ＂non-fairy tales＂ element. According to the affirmation about the meaning of＂non-fairy tales＂ of Gu Cheng＇s poems in the history of literature, we think that the appellation of ＂fairy tale poet＂ is a misleading title for Gu Cheng. So we have necessary to do a deeper study on Gu Cheng＇s poems.
