在不同历史时期,茅盾《霜叶红似二月花》的经典化在学界主流文学经典视域下的批评和阐释中,以及大众读者的接受中都出现过游离的状况。实际上,这些经典化的游离现象在中国当代文学场域中很普遍,其生成原因一方面与特定社会意识形态或读者的审美趣味等有关,另一方面又与作品自身的阅读难度或完成度有关。学界可以从社会审美文化、文学史、文学场等不同角度来进一步认识文学经典化的游离现象,并坚持以艺术价值作为评判文学经典的核心。

In different historical periods,the canonization of Mao Dun’s Maple Leaves as Red as February Flowers has some dissociations in the criticism and interpretation of the literary classics from the perspective of the academia,as well as the acceptance of the public readers.In fact,these kinds of dissociations of the canonization are very common in the field of contemporary Chinese literature.These dissociations,on the one hand,are related to the particular social ideology or the aesthetic tastes of readers and so on.On the other hand,they are related to the difficulty or completion of the works.The academia can further understand the dissociations of the canonization from different perspectives,such as social aesthetic culture,literary history and literary field,and insist on taking artistic value as the core of the criteria for literary classics.
