王文兴对古典文本的重构——以《聊斋志异》和《明月夜》为例

Wang Wenxing’s Reconstruction of Chinese Classical Texts:Focused on Liaozhai Zhiyi and Mingyueye

作为台湾地区现代派文学的重要代表,王文兴身上浓烈的古典美学气质引人注目。他在20世纪70年代从语言、想象力和体制三方面对《聊斋志异》进行解读,并提炼出“人生介乎梦境和现实”的美学命题。在21世纪创作的短篇小说《明月夜》中,王文兴继承并发展了这一美学命题。《聊斋志异》的批评与《明月夜》的创作,完整展示了王文兴重构古典文本的方式:超脱与回归。这个过程,又反映出30年来他对人生问题思考的变迁。

As an important representative of Taiwan’s modernist literature,Wang Wenxing’s strong classical aesthetic temperament attracts attention.In the interpretation of Liaozhai Zhiyi in the 1970s,he refined the aesthetic proposition of“life is in the realm of illusion and reality”,which was inherited and developed in the short story Mingyueye written in the new century.From the two aspects of criticism and creation,the two completely show the way Wang Wenxing reconstructs classical texts including what we call transcendence and returning.This process also reflects the changes in his thinking about life issues over the past 30 years.
