文心续铸费思量:从《小说稗类》到《文章自在》——试析张大春创作理念的发展与演进

The Continuous Casting Cost of the Literature Mind: From The Grass of the Novel to The Article at Ease——An Analysis on the Development and Evolution of Chang Ta-chun's Creative Ideas

台湾作家张大春的旧作《小说稗类》,以分章专攻,各个击破的笔记体形式,条分缕析地对小说这一文体的各种形式和内容因素进行了评述,是一位成熟的小说家对于小说的全部理论建构,自成体系。而他的新作《文章自在》,虽然原本是为指导需要应考作文的中学生而写的专栏文章结集,却也掰开揉碎地仔细讲述了陈义更高的文章之道,并不局限于应试作文的辅导和准备。《文章自在》的要旨在于:写文章,不搞作文,提倡需要写文章的人,特别是应试者应增强写作意识,发挥想象力,激活创造力。本文尝试从这两部著作之间的内在关联入手,来探讨作者关于跨文类(即虚构和非虚构)写作的某些一以贯之的创作观念,是如何发展和演进的。

Taiwan writer Chang Ta-chun in his old work The Grass of the Novel made a detailed analysis on the various forms and content factors of the stylistic form—novel by the way of note-form,dividing into chapters and focusing on them one by one. It shows that a mature novelist has the whole theory construction of novel and makes his own novel system. And his new work, The Articles at Ease although originally is a collection of columns for guiding middle school students who need to sit for exams of articles,has also made a careful description of the writing in a higher level and failed to be limited to the guidance and preparation of examoriented composition. The essentials of The Articles at Ease are：writing an article is not equal to doing a composition and the person who need to write an article especially examinee should strengthen writing consciousness,exert imagination and activate creativity. This paper attempts to start from the inner relationship between the two works,and explore how the author develops some consistent creative ideas about cross-text writing（that is,fiction and non-fiction）.
