清中后期社会历史文化心态的展现——以小说《荡寇志》为例

Cultural Mentality of Social History in the Late Period of the Qing Dynasty: The Records of Outlaws as a Case

《荡寇志》是清中后期保守士人面对西潮涌入、传统文化失落的集体性情感反应的产物,小说作者俞万春以捍卫中国传统文化的基本价值为己任,担负起了文化卫道的使命。但残酷的现实却撕碎了他加强君权、帝制,肃清内乱来重振国威的卫道美梦,小说《荡寇志》便展示了这一特定历史时期各种社会变革思潮下的社会历史文化心态。

The Records of Outlaws（Dang Kou Zhi） is the product of emotional responses of the conservative scholars who faced the influx of the Western thought and the loss of traditional culture in the late Period of the Qing Dynasty. The author, Yu Wanchun defended the basic value of Chinese traditional culture. But the harsh reality tore up his dream of strengthening the monar- chy, eliminating the strife for reviving the prestige of the Qing Dynasty. This novel shows the cultural mentality of social history un- der the particular historical period of social transformation.
