简析近代小说中的湖湘文化内蕴

A Brief Analysis of the Huxiang Culture Connotation from Modern Novels

外来文化与传统文化的冲突整合,构成湖南社会生活的独特内涵;对曾国藩、谭嗣同等近代风云人物的刻画,既凸显出中国近代从维护皇权到实行改革的思潮演变,也再现了近代历史的发展轨迹;对湖南社会现实的描摹和对湖南风俗、江湖规则的书写,成为湖湘文化的深层内蕴。近代小说对历史人物、历史事件的矛盾认知,表现出湖南人,乃至近代中国人的纠结,既启发我们思考近代中国社会存在的复杂性,亦有助于理解中国现代化进程的艰难。湖湘文化荟萃于谴责小说、武侠小说、历史小说等流派,表现出湖南人对现实的关注、对传奇的探寻与对历史的反思。

The conflict between foreign and domestic cultures constitutes the unique connotation of Hunan social life.The descriptions of ZENG Guofan,TAN Sitong and other modern figures not only highlight the evolution of China's modern thoughts but also reproduce the development track of modern history.The depictions of the reality and the customs are the connotation of Hunan culture.The contradictory cognition of historical figures and events shows the entanglement of Hunan people and modern Chinese.It not only inspires us to think about the complexity of modern society,but also to understand the difficulties of China's modernization.Huxiang culture is embodied with condemnation novels,martial arts novels and historical novels,which show the attention of Hunan people to reality,the exploration of legends and the reflection of history.
