中国生态散文中的石头意象

Stone Images in Chinese Ecological Prose

20世纪以来,受到“人的文学”观念影响,中国文学相对忽略物性描写。不过,在生态散文中,物性得到重视,“石头”这一意象有逐渐凸显之势,到新时期特别是21世纪以来获得一定发展。中国生态散文加深了对于玉石文化的认知,有助于理解世道人心和人生智慧,强化了自我约束和生态意识。在叙述方式上,中国生态散文的石头书写注重辩证性,倾向虚实相生、正反相合、情理交融,有助于深入到物性、人性和天地道心。目前,中国生态散文中的石头意象书写还有不足,主要表现在作家的主体意识和生态意识不强、物性理解不够深入、经典性不足,这是今后需要努力推进的。

Since the 20th century and under the influence of the concept of“human literature”,Chinese literature has relatively neglected the presentation of the physical nature.However,in ecological essays,the physical nature has been valued.The“stone”images have gradually become prominent and achieved certain development in the new era,especially in the 21st century.Chinese ecological essays deepen the understanding of the jade culture,help to understand the world,the people and the wisdom of life,and reinforce the importance of self-discipline and ecological consciousness.In narrative style,the stone writings in Chinese ecological essays emphasize dialectics,especially the mutualism between emptiness and substance(xu-shi),the fusion of opposing forces,and the integration of emotion and reason,which penetrate into the physical nature,human nature and the Tao of the universe.So far there are still some deficiencies in the stone writings of Chinese ecological essays.To name a few,writers do not show enough subjective consciousness and ecological consciousness,the understanding of the physical nature is not profound enough,and there is a lack of classics,all of which invite further discussions.
