论《红楼梦》中“乡村描写”成分的叙事功能

On Narrative Functions of Rural Description in A Dream of Red Mansions

"乡村描写"在《红楼梦》中出现五处,在小说中起着"头回"作用的"葫芦叙事",正面故事背后推动力的缺场叙事,出入故事的外来人造成的陌生视角,以及在热闹中下冷笔形成冷热调剂效果四种重要叙事作用。"乡村描写"作为小说空间的重要组成部分,对其在美学、叙事学和反映作者心态等方面的价值应引起重视,并作出重新估定。

The rural scene has been described five times in A Dream of Red Mansions, and such description plays an im- portant role. Such trifle narration as the opening, the narration with the driving force absent behind the main story, the odd perspective due to the strangers in and out the story, and the calm description of hopping and busy scenes, these four are the u- nique functional narrative features. As an important part of novel space, the rural description should be noteworthy and reeval- uated in its aesthetics, narratology and the author＇s state of mind.
