吴组缃修改《山洪》考论

On the Revise of Flood Made by Wu Zuxiang

吴组缃的《山洪》建国初修改版与1946年星群版既呈现出文本间的连动和罅隙,亦牵系着作家本人的心迹与动机。吴组缃沿着建国后的文艺轨范进行修改,在章三官的形象塑造上刻意拔高其思想认知,简化人物心灵蜕变的曲折反复,遮蔽了星群版中对军民关系的反思;在剔除人物的动作细节、粗言秽语与日常陋习,美化乡村的同时,背离了自身的艺术创作惯例。小说原有的启蒙视角也被抛弃。种种症候,为现代乡土小说创作提供了诸多借镜与启迪。

There exists consistency as well as discrepancy between the two versions of Wu Zuxiang’s Flood, which is also related to the mindset and motive of the author himself. Wu Zuxiang followed the literary criteria since the foundation of the country and then revised his works, in which he raised Zhang Sanguan’s ability of cognizance and simplified the complexity of Zhang Sanguan’s soul. Therefore, it covered up the introspection of civil-military relations in the version of Xing Qun. The deletion of characters’ details, coarse language and daily bad habits beautified the village and deviated from Wu Zuxiang’s own writing tradition. Thus the aspect of enlightenment was abandoned. All the symptoms provide lots of experiences for the modern rural novels.
