中国现代都会散文的发生

Proses on the modern Chinese metropolises

以都会生活与都会情感作为中心表现的现代都会散文在中国的发生是一个艰难的过程,且有着别于诗歌、小说等文体的别异形态。五四之前,集中于宋、元、明、清及民初,随着时代与商业等的发展,中国古典散文首先实现了自应用文体到趣味文体、由远在的乡村旷野到切近的都会景观与都会情感的转变。1920年代末以至1940年代,以上海为代表的中国城市已经具有了现代工商城市的面貌,也因此出现了散文创作的超拔与尖新,宣告了真正现代都会散文在中国的登场,体现了都会散文作为一种城市散文与生活散文的成熟。但乡土中国所产生的现代都会的特殊性决定了现代都会散文一直以来只是众多散文之一种,而且算不上强大的一脉,且时有着视角的分散等复杂的表现,但它却是近现代以来中国文坛别一道虹光。

Distinct from poetry and stories, Chinese metropolis proses grow out of a hard time. The classic literary works since the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties have been successfully turned into humor- ous style, with the focus of remote rural wilderness turned into the metropolis. Shanghai begins to repre- sent the new Chinese metropolis owing to its growth from the end of 1920s through 1940s. Likewise, the literary proses which start to flourish there continuously carry the rural characteristics.
