奇才与厄运:论《主角》忆秦娥的勾栏人生和存在之维

Prodigy and Adversity: on YI Qin-e’s Opera Life and Levels of Existence in the Leading Roles Story

《主角》叙述了秦岭山里"放羊小孩"——忆秦娥五十余年的人生经历及其心灵史。它至少有三个层面的思想内蕴:一是戏的世界,指一代名伶忆秦娥的主角之艺和事业沉浮;二是情的世界,指忆秦娥与刘红兵、石怀玉的情感纠葛与生活遭际;三是理的世界,即作家陈彦对20世纪中国社会转型中历史文化、时代变革与人物命运的深彻思考。并且,《主角》力求探索并建构忆秦娥命运悲剧的独特性:时代悲剧是从横的方面剖析社会变革对"小人物"的冲击与影响,历史悲剧是从纵向角度反思民族文化与社会伦理,而人生悲剧则是从哲学上去思考生命存在的本质意义。

The novel Protagonist narrates the "sheep herding child" in the Qinling Mountains.That is, life experience and spiritual history of more than 50 years. It has at least three levels of ideological implications. One is the world of drama, which refers to the art of the famous actor Yi Qin’e and the ups and downs of her career. Second, the world of love which refers to Yi Qin’e, Liu Hongbing and Shi Huaiyu’s emotional entanglements and life experience. The third is the world of reason, which refers to the author Chen Yan’s deep thinking about the historical culture, the change of the times and the fate of the characters in the social transformation of China in the 20 th century. Moreover, Protagonist strives to explore and construct the unique characteristics of the tragedy of Yi Qin’e’s fate. The tragedy of the times is to analyze the impact and influence of social change on the "small potatoes" from a horizontal perspective. The historical tragedy is to reflect on national culture and social ethics from a vertical perspective and tragedy of life is to think about the essential significance of the nature of life from philosophical perspective.
