精神的危机与心灵的探寻——社会历史视野中的阎真小说分析

The Spiritual Crisis and the Exploration of the Soul—An Analysis of Yan Zhen's Novels from the Perspective of Social History

随着市场经济的建立,消费社会的逐渐成型,20世纪90年代的中国社会进行着一场前所未有的大转型。在社会变革中,知识分子作为既秉承传统精神文化又遭遇时代新观念挑战的特殊群体,处在深度的精神焦虑之中。阎真小说通过构建一个厚重的精神背景,从历史和心灵的深处对世纪之交处于快速世俗化大潮中的知识分子进行了深度的精神考察和心灵探寻,并从医疗、爱情和教育三个领域呈现出这个时代精神生存的艰难和苦痛,表达了作者对现实问题和人类精神发展的忧思,同时也提示我们加强现代文化建设迫在眉睫。

With the establishment of the market economy, the gradual formation of consumer society, Chinese society began in the 1990s to carry out an unprecedented transformation, in which, the intellectuals, as a special group who both insisted the spiritual and cultural traditions and faced the challenge of new concepts of the times, suffered greatly from mental anxieties. Against such historic background, Yah Zhen novels probed into the mind of intellectuals who were involved in the rapid secularization at the turn of the century, by constructing a heavy spiritual background, from the depth of history and the depth of the soul, and expressed the author＇s worries about the problems of reality and human spiritual development from the perplexes in medicare, love and education where the hardship and pains of the spiritual survival of the time were exhibited, and also warned us of the urgent need to strengthen the construction of modern culture.
