古今杂糅:当代文学中的白蛇传与“当代”

Ancient and Present Hybridity:Legend of White Snake in Contemporary Literature and Present Times

当今社会发展极为迅速,越来越匆忙、冷漠的现代人也许更需要用神话来弥补心灵的虚空,救治人性的缺失。白蛇传作为神话故事的原型,在当代得到那些有创造力作家的青睐,一次又一次地在新的作品中复活。李碧华的小说《青蛇》、李锐的小说《人间》、芭蕉的小说《白蛇.青蛇》、周蜜蜜的小说《蛇缠》以及严歌苓的小说《白蛇》等作品,注入了新的元素,从不同的角度对白蛇传予以诠释,尤其是古今杂糅的写法,将古老的传说与当下的社会联系起来,显示出强烈的社会干预、人性批判和人文关怀的色彩。

Today＇s social development is extremely rapid, more and more busy and indifferent people are likely to need myth to make up for the emptiness of the mind and to treat the lack of humanity. Legend of White Snake as the prototype in the fairy tale, has been favored by those creative contemporary writers, and has again and again resurrected in new work. Li Bihua＇s novel, Green Snake, Li Rui＇s novel, Society, Bajiao＇s novel, White Snake and Green Snake, Zhou Mimi＇s novel, Snake Entangles, Yan Geling＇s novel, White Snake have all injected new elements, and given the annotations from different angles to the Tale. In particular, ancient and present hybridity links the ancient legend and modern world together reflecting a strong sense of social intervention, humanity critique and humanistic care.
