沈从文笔下的湘西女性

Females in Western Hunan in Shen Chongwen's Novels

在沈从文塑造的一系列湘西女性形象中,既有纯真活泼的少女,又有饱经生活磨难的妓女,其人性的善良与纯朴总是闪烁着别样的光辉,她们寄托了沈从文独特的人性理想和生命诗学。湘西女性"美丽"与"哀愁"并存的人生,不仅融入了沈从文个人的情感经历和审美理想,而且是其内心孤独和不被人理解的象征。

Among a series of female images delineated by Shen Chongwen can be found not only pure and lively girls but also prostitutes afflicted with life hardship, whose kind and simple humanity has always radiated with unique splendor, for Shen Chongwen has placed his unique humanity ideal and life poetics upon those female images. Therefore, the “beautiful” and “sorrowful” life of females in western Hunan has not only blended Shen Cbong- wen＇s personal emotional experiences and his aesthetic ideal but also symbolized his inner solitude and his failure to be understood.
