寻幽探奇的文化冥思——论尤今的游记创作

On You Jin's writing of travel notes

新加坡籍华裔女作家尤今透过笔下多彩多姿的题材描写 ,显示出博大的人文关怀 ,使读者能从畅达的人生抒怀中读到些许苍凉 ,从漫不经心的品评中触摸到作者心跳的频率 ,从诡谲异事的娓娓叙谈中感受到缕缕寻幽探胜的文化冥思。尤今创作常显示出对世界和中华文化的渴念与亲和 ,鼓荡着悠远而沉重的历史脚步的回响。尤今师承华夏母本文化而又敢于独辟蹊径 ,闯出一条熔洗炼和细腻、叙事和抒怀、深刻和易解、幽默和诗意于一炉的创作新路。作家对游记传统所持的固守与叛离兼具的态度 ,表现了一个理性作家应具备的文化反省意识。

A wide diversity of meaningful subjects described by You Jin,a Singaporean Chinese,authoress,discloses the broadness and greatness of her humanistic concerns and renders the readers to be aware of bleakness in their favorable life,to feel the frequency of the authoress's heart beat from leisurely comments and to perceive the cultural musing for curiosity in the leisurely and mysterious narration.You Jin's writings usually show certain hankering for,missing of and kindness to world and Chinese culture in which we can hear the long and heavy historical footsteps.She draws a lot from Chinese culture,blazes a new trail and thus forms a new writing style in which briefness,minuteness,narrative and expression of feeling are integrated with easy understanding,humor and poetic implication.Her defending and betraying attitude of traditional travel notes show the consciousness of cultural meditation which should be possessed by a rational writer.
