文学意象的文化积淀与创造──兼评神话-原型批评

Cultural depositon and creation of literary images

文学意象的创造不是孤立的，它深受文化传统的影响和制约。本文以“太阳”意象为例，分析了文学意象的蕴涵既有历史的积淀又有在创新过程中的转变，并从接受美学角度指出，读者的文化修养是影响文学意象理解的重要因素。

The creation of literary images is much influenced and conditioned especially by cultural tradition. In this paper 'the sun' is cited as an example of the literary image to demonstrate that the implication of literary images involves both historical depositions and transformations in the creation. It is also pointed out from the angle of esthetics that the cultural background of individual reader is a decisive factor that influences the understanding of literary image.
