《喜福会》里的中国传统文化元素

On the Traditional Chinese Elements in "The Joy Luck Club"

美国华裔女作家谭恩美的成名作《喜福会》中贯穿了作者对麻将、阴阳五行、生肖风水等众多中国传统文化元素的描述和独到理解,表现了华裔后代对母辈文化复杂而深厚的感情。作者将中国文化的魅力融入到华裔"自我身份探寻"的写作中,使小说主题得到升华,并赋予了作品独特的审美价值和深刻的文化内涵。

＂The Joy Luck Club＂ by Amy Tan, the Chinese American female writer, is rich in traditional Chinese elements, such as Mahjong, Yinyang, the Five Elements, the 12 Symbolic Animals and Fengshui. The description and comments about these elements show the author＇s complicated and deep feeling to her mother. By putting them into the ＂identity searching＂ writing, the theme has been sublimated and the novel has been endowed with unique aesthetic value and profound cultural connotation.
