初探张爱玲小说的民族承传性

On Traditional Heredity of Zhang Ailing's Novels

张爱玲小说的民族承传性,主要来自明清世情小说、晚清谴责讽刺小说和鸳鸯蝴蝶派作品。表现在凸现世态人情、注重写实传统、结构随意散漫、采取全知视角、运用含蓄笔法、追求通俗易懂等方面。其小说的艺术优长和缺失,包括狭窄的婚恋题材、平实琐碎的生活细节、松散随意的结构、说书人的叙述角度、微妙的隐喻和暗示以及通俗小说趣味,都源于她对上述中国旧小说传统的继承。旧小说成就了张爱玲小说的风格,也从根本上影响和制约了其小说的思想价值和艺术品质。

The traditional heredity of Zhang Ailing's novels comes from novels reflecting social affairs of Ming and Qing dynasties,satirical novels of late Qing dynasty and works called 'Mandarin Duck & Butterfly'. It is characteristic of projecting social affairs,people's feelings,stressing a realistic writing tradition,random structure of point view and a third person,an implicit style and seeking popularization. Her novels' artistic strong points and weak points,including a narrow material scope of marriage and love,plain and trivial life plots,random structure,the third person's point of view,subtle metaphor and popular fun of novels,all derive from her heredity of those traditional Chinese novels. Traditional novels make Zhang Ailing's style,but also influence and restrict her novals' idedogical value and artistic quality.
