淮北曲艺视角的赛珍珠《大地》分析

Interpretation of Pearl S. Buck’s The Good Earth Trilogy from the Perspective of Huaibei Ballad Singing

渊源悠久的淮北曲艺和赛珍珠风格明晰的《大地》是同一片土地上生发出的风格纠缠的作品,对两者进行比较分析,可以在民间文化的基质上,更坚实地理解《大地》三部曲。淮北曲艺贯穿着皇权国家的儒教训化,而《大地》则自然地展现了其儒家的道德和价值观底色;淮北曲艺程式化特征鲜明,而接受并转化地域风土的此种影响,赛珍珠诗意地表现她所欣赏的大地上传统农业社会的生息节律;地域传统风物深刻又单一的纯粹性,使得民间的曲艺在模式上多有雷同,使得文人之作均成为他们短暂的高峰。通过比较的视野,在多元差别中呈现出作家立足乡土后其作品出自本真、偏重诗性的创作规律。

The long history of Huaibei ballad singing and the clear style of The Good Earth Trilogy by Pearl S.Buck are the works of entangled style originated from the same land. To the former,the Confucian doctrine of the imperial state runs through it,while the latter implies Confucian morals and values. The former is distinctive in stylized characteristic,influenced by the traditional narrative mode;Pearl S. Buck gives a poetic expression of the daily rhythm of the traditional agricultural society. More or less,the profound and simple purity of local culture makes folk art identical and makes literati works become brief peak. The poetic description of landscape becomes one of the important distinguishing features between folk art and elite works again.
