《故事新编》研究的难题

Difficulties in the Research of Lu Xun's Old Tales Retold

《故事新编》研究热点集中在体裁归属、艺术技巧、"油滑"问题、现代性与传统等,其中体裁归属和对"油滑"的评价堪称难点。创作时间跨度达十三年,《故事新编》是惟一在写作时间跨度上几乎涵盖鲁迅整个创作生涯的小说集,不同时期的精神状态及其动态的主体精神过程是不能忽视的存在,之前的研究疏于对这一维度的考量。"油滑"贯穿《故事新编》创作的始终,是解开诸多难题的入口,要在鲁迅动态的主体精神构成中来把握,需要我们对于鲁迅的精神与文学历程有一个更为深入、细密和具有整体性的理解。

The research of Old Tales Retold generally focuses on the classification of the genre, artistry, ＂slickness＂, modernity, traditions and other specific issues. Among them the classification of the genre and the commenting of ＂slickness＂ can be regarded as difficulties. This book is the only collection of short sto- ries written during 13 years, which almost covers Lu Xun＇s whole literary career. In studying the short story collection, Lu Xun＇ s spiritual conditions in different periods of his writing career and his dynamic subject spirit processes can not be ignored. However, the previous studies neglect this dimension. As the ＂slickness＂ runs through the writing of the collection and hence an entrance to many difficult questions, it should be un- derstood through Lu Xun＇ s dynamic subject spiritual components. Also, it needs a more profound, detailed and integral understanding for his spirit and literary career.
