一部从特定时代走来的小说文本——重读长篇小说《大刀记》

A Story of the Broadsword Reinterpreted

作为一部特定年代生成的小说文本,《大刀记》能够在新的时代中保持强劲的再生能力,主要原因在于扎根于深深的历史文化土壤中。小说对《水浒传》英雄叙事模式的继承,对新的卡里斯玛型人物的创造,对民间诙谐文化精髓的吸收,都为今天乃至以后的抗战文学创作提供了宝贵的经验与资源。

As a novel written in a specific historical stage, A Story of the Broadsword has attributed its consist- ently strong capacity of regeneration in the new era to its being rooted in the profound history and culture. In the novel, the inheritance of the heroic narrative pattern in Heroes of the Marshes, the delineation of new characters like Charisma, and the absorption of the essence of folk humorous culture have provided valuable experience and re- sources for the present and future creation of the Anti-Japanese War literature.
