“弃石”与“白鹿”——《红楼梦》与《白鹿原》的“拟神话叙事”解读

“Abandoned Stone” and “White Deer”:Myth-likeness Narrative Interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions and Highland of White Deer

《红楼梦》的补天弃石与《白鹿原》的原上白鹿,都是对传统神话的艺术性再造,这种"拟神话叙事"不是对传统神话故事的简单照搬或原义扩充,《红楼梦》的拟神话开篇包含了对女娲(补天失策)和"弃石"(无材补天)的双重否定,暗含了贾宝玉在思想与情感世界的双重矛盾;《白鹿原》中"白鹿"的不同化身(朱先生、白嘉轩、白灵)则合力完成了小说中白鹿意象对立于传统祥瑞的意义指向。拟神话叙事造就了两部长篇小说在结构上的对称完整、人物塑造上的复杂丰富,并为作品带来厚重的历史文化底蕴。

Abandoned Stone in A Dream of Red Mansions and White Deer in Highland of White Deer are the traditional myth of artistic recycling.Myth-likeness narrative is not a simple copy or the original meaning of the expansion of traditional fairy tales. Myth-likeness narrative with double negatives for Goddess and abandoned stone is implicated in Jia Bao-yu＇s thoughts and feelings, which are the double contradictions.White Deer in different incarnations together completes White Deer imagery with the traditional auspicious meaning.Myth-likeness narrative creates two complete novels with the symmetrical structure, the complex characteriza-tion and the rich historical and cultural heritage.
