“民间”的现代价值——民间文化形态与文学创作

The Modern Value of “Folk”——Folk Cultural Forms and Literary Creation

中国现当代文学发展受多重因素影响,西方文艺理论及创作方法固然使中国现当代文学呈现出多彩的风貌,但中国本土的民间文化形态对文学发展的意义也是不容忽视的。民间文化形态作为民间精神的载体,它不仅是文学创作的审美资源,而且是促使作品保持本土风格和民族特色的重要因素。民间文化传统中暗含的纯美与邪恶、野性与愚昧,在为作家提供开展批判与启蒙的写作动力的同时,也在不断激发着作家腾飞的想象力。

The development of Chinese modern and contemporary literature is influenced by many factors.Although Western theories and methods of writing and literature create a colorful outlook on Chinese modern and contemporary literature,the significance of Chinese folk culture to the development of literature can not be ignored either.As a carrier of folk spirit,folk culture is not only an aesthetic resource of literary creation,but also an important factor for keeping works in native style and national features.The purity and evil,wildness and ignorance implied in the folk culture tradition are constantly stimulating the imagination that the author takes off while providing writers with the motivation for criticism and enlightenment.
