意象一直以来都是诗歌创作与批评的一个重要概念,相较于传统,现代新诗中的意象建构很大程度上受到西方文学艺术的影响和启发,而蛇这一意象就是其中较为明显的一例。本文对本国传统和西方视域下蛇意象做简要梳理,重点放在现代文学史上几首与蛇有关的典型诗歌文本的具体分析上,初步探查蛇意象在本国文学尤其是新诗中内涵的变异和使用情况,以期获得对当下新诗创作与批评以及诗体建构有益的经验和借鉴。

Image has always been one of the important concepts for poetry creation and criticism. Compared with the traditional poetry, the construction of image in Modem Chinese Poetry is greatly influenced and inspired by western literature and art with the snake image standing as one of the obvious examples. This paper briefly intro- duces the views of the snake image both in Chinese tradition and the West. Through the specific analysis of several typical poems related to snakes in the history of Modem Chinese Literature, we can find the variation and use of the snake image in Modem Chinese Poetry. In this way we expect to get some useful experience and reference to the creation and criticism as well as the construction of poetic styles of Modem Chinese Poetry.
