老舍是京派作家吗?

Is Lao She a “Beijing School Writer”?

京派文人通常是指20世纪30年代政治中心南移之后,蛰居在北京进行文学创作的文人作家。他们大多是外乡人,文学创作也很少以北京为创作背景,多选择自己魂牵梦萦的故乡。而老舍是土生土长地地道道的北京人,他的文学作品也都以北京为创作背景,然而在文学史中,很少有学者将老舍归列到"京派"文人麾下。刘勇教授于2005年和2010年发表的两篇论文,都亮出"老舍当之无愧是京派代表"的观点。但从传统意义上的"京派"文人的文学创作与老舍的文学作品进行对比,可发现老舍的文化归属:他不是京派作家。

Beijing school writers are usually referred to the writers living seclusively in Beijing after the political center moved southwards in the 1920 s to 1930 s. Most of them are aliens to Beijing and their works are seldom backgrounded in Beijing but in their hometowns where there hearts and souls always hovering upon. However,Lao She is one of the exception,because he is a native Beijinger. Most of his works are backgrounded in Beijing,but in the history of literature,few scholars classify him into the Beijing School writers. Professor Liu Yong,in his two papers published in 2005 and 2010,illustrated very clearly his viewpoint that Lao She belongs to Beijing School.But by comparing their works between the traditional Beijing School writers and Lao She,we could find that he is not one of the Beijing School writers.
