论台静农的小说创作道路

On Tai Jing-nong's Writings of Fiction

台静农以爱情小说的创作走上文坛 ,而真正确立了他在现代小说史上地位的是乡土小说的创作。他的乡土小说描写了古老乡镇的风俗人情画面 ,展现了乡村百姓的悲剧命运 ,揭示了老中国儿女灵魂的愚昧与麻木 ,批判了国民劣根性。后期的小说创作重在青年知识分子革命形象的塑造上 ,属于早期革命文学的范畴。他走了一条从爱情小说到乡土小说 ,到革命小说 。

Tai Jing nong begains his writing career with love stories, and establishes his position in modern fiction history with local color fictions. His local color fictions depict the people and custom in old villages, unfold the miserable fate of ordinary villagers, reveal the ignorance and insensitivity of the older generation, and criticize the deep rooted bad habits of Chinese people. His later writings focus on portraying the revolutionary images of young intellectuals, which should be included in early revolutionary literature. His writings comletes a circle, which starts from love stories to local color fictions and revolutionary novels, then goes back from revolutionary novels to local color fictions.
