摘要
美国华裔女作家谭恩美的代表作《喜福会》融入了大量中国元素,其中"金"这一元素贯穿了龚琳达大半生,成为人物特有的标志。"金"既是五行之一,又是贵重金属,影射龚琳达的性格与命运:无"金"的经济地位和五行缺"金"的命运使龚琳达沦为洪家任意摆布的奴隶;重获自由和自我后,龚琳达信仰"金"所代表的财富稳定与五行平衡,最终收获了自我认同和安全感,摆脱被动人生,成为命运的主宰者。从中可见"金"文化对龚琳达的指引作用和龚琳达对中国文化的坚守。
In The Joy Luck Club written by Amy Tan, there are numerous Chinese symbols. Among them, ＂Gold＂ is the one closely related to the life experience of mother Lindo Jong. ＂Gold＂, in Chinese tradition, can be under- stood as one of the five elements （wood, fire, earth, metal, water） or a kind of precious metal. Approaching from these two aspects, this paper analyzes the personality and fate transformation of Lindo Jong. Lindo Jong has to be subordinated to Mrs. Hong because of her lack of ＂Gold＂ in the five elements and her low economic status. But the balance of five elements and her gaining of wealth later give her economic independence and self-esteem. Lin- do Jong＇s solid faith in traditional Chinese culture guides her out of her deprived condition to a life of security and fulfillment.
