论苇岸自然写作中的现实与想象——基于北小营村的田野考察

On the Reality and Imagination in Wei An’s Nature Writing:A Fieldwork on Beixiaoying Village

苇岸是中国较早关注人与自然关系的作家,其自然写作在很大程度上附着于他生长的一个北京周边的村庄——昌平县北小营村。北小营村在几十年间发生了翻天覆地的变化,而苇岸在20世纪90年代就提前感受到一个席天卷地的城镇化浪潮即将到来,他的自然写作恰好处于北小营乡村剧变的前夜,呼应着一个中国乡村巨变的大时代。苇岸自觉意识到自身对大地知识的匮乏,他努力以自己的方式去弥补这种匮乏,试图建立关于乡土和自然知识的仓库。同时,苇岸也隐隐触碰到大地的乡土面向与自然面向之间的紧张关系,试图动用各种知识资源去直面这些问题。只是由于他生命太过短暂,这些可贵的探索只呈现出一种未完成的状态。

Wei An was a writer among those who turned an early look at the relationship between human and nature in China.To a large extent,his nature writing was attached to his birthplace—Beixiaoying Village in Changping County near Beijing.Beixiaoying Village has undergone radical changes in the past few decades.Wei An felt in advance that a wave of urbanization was coming,and his nature writing happened to be on the eve of the drastic changes,which echoes a great era of great changes in rural China.Aware of his lack of knowledge about the land,Wei An tried to fill the gap in his own way by attempting to establish a warehouse of knowledge about countryside and nature.Meanwhile,Wei An vaguely touched the tense relationship between the rural and natural aspect of the land,so he intended to deal with these problems by drawing on a variety of knowledge resources.But his life was so short that these valuable explorations remain only unfinished.
