从本地到本土——论莫言对《聊斋志异》传统的继承与创新

From Locality to Mainland——on Mo Yan's Inheritance and Innovation to Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

莫言从儿时在故乡聆听神鬼故事、历史传奇、逸闻趣事,到创建文学领地"高密东北乡",向世人呈现了自己曲折、复杂的创作历程,实现了继承、借鉴后的创新,揭示了他与蒲松龄及其《聊斋志异》之间的师承关系。莫言通过向蒲松龄学习,开始自觉继承中国文学的优秀传统,在汲取《聊斋志异》创作资源的同时,在小说中加大魔幻叙事的比重,注重艺术的转化力与创造力,通过中国式的魔幻叙事,创作了一个又一个当代文化寓言,并在汲取诸多"现代"元素的过程中,形成了自己独特的风格。从莫言说的"讲故事的人"考察其创作与蒲松龄和《聊斋志异》的关系,莫言的小说其实同后者一样,延续了民间的艺术创作道路并具有鲜明的民间文化色彩。从本地到本土,莫言的经验值得思考。
