战后日本文学中的“长安乡恋”——以井上靖的长安书写为例

“Love for Chang'an”in Japanese Post-war Literature——Exemplification with Yasushi Inoue's Writings of Chang'an

日本汉学家对唐都长安的关注与研究,复苏了战后日本关于遣唐使时代的上位记忆。历史小说与大众传媒的推波助澜,更加深化了长安作为日本人精神故乡的可能。井上靖作为战后日本中国题材历史小说的开拓者,一方面在多部作品中或隐或显地涉及长安,另一方面又对长安空间的描述极为模糊与冷淡,小说《天平之甍》更有对长安的"绕道而行"之嫌。借井上靖创作依据原典文献还原逆推,不难发现他对西域题材的偏爱以及对战后日本文学指向的理解,必然无暇使长安清晰化。

Japanese sinologists＇ concern and study of Chang an, the capital o： l ang l^ynasLy, post-war Japanese remote memory of the times of its missions to imperial China. The promotion of historical novels and mass media further deepened Chang＇ an as a possible spiritual homeland of the Japanese people. Yasushi Inoue as a forerunner of post-war Japanese historical novels of Chinese subject-matters involved prominently or obscurely Chang＇ an in his works, but offered only an misty and cold description of Chang^m space. His novel The Ocean to Cross, for example, showed obvious traces of ＂just travelling by＂ Chang＇an. A reductive reverse inference based on the original documents Yasushi Inoue drew upon in his writing finds that his preference of subject-matters of Western Region and understanding of the direction of post-war Japanese literature spared his no time to draw a clear picture of Chang＇ an.
