论川端康成《睡美人》的阴翳之美

On the Umbrageous Aesthetic Connotation of Kawabata Yasunari's Nemurerubijo

《睡美人》以炉火纯青的笔法延续了川端康成文学创作中一贯的古典悲美与妖冶。作品中细致刻画的死亡意识和拥抱青春的主题设定也与日本唯美派作家谷崎润一郎在《阴翳礼赞》中提倡的日本传统社会的“阴翳之美”遥相呼应。因此《睡美人》通过晦暗不明的场景、敏感细腻的回忆与阴翳无常的生死观,反映了川端康成晚年战后创作的复杂思考,呈现出于“物哀”中见人心纤细、于“意气”中见欲望妖邪、于“幽玄”中见风雅之寂的审美内核。故作品在死亡、欲望、罪孽的阴翳笼罩下,凝练日本传统审美的《睡美人》,表现出了人性在明暗交替的挣扎过程中渴望求得心灵净化,完成生命轮转的理想诉求。

The Nemurerubijo continues the classic aesthetics and enchantment in Kawabata's literary creation with consummate work.The detailed depiction of death consciousness and the theme setting of embracing youth in the work are also consistent with the"Umbrageous Aesthetic"advocated by Tanizaki in Yienreisan.Therefore,Nemurerubijo reflects Kawabata's complex thinking of post-war creation in his later years through dark and obscure scenes,sensitive and delicate memories and inconstant outlook on life and death.It presents the aesthetic core of delicate human spirit in"Mononoaware",evil desires in"Iki"and elegant silence in"Yuugen".Therefore,under the shadow of death,desire and sin,the Nemurerubijo embodies the struggle between positive and negative human nature and desires for pure spirit and the ideal appeal of life reincarnation.
