史铁生创作论——从“根”和“寻根文学”的视角看

Shi Tiesheng’s creation theory——From the perspective of“roots”and“root-seeking literature”

史铁生从20世纪70年代末开始文学创作,80年代初因《我的遥远的清平湾》《奶奶的星星》等作品受到广泛关注。关于他创作的评论和研究,也是从这一时期逐渐展开。但直到今日,我们都很难把史铁生的创作进行“归类”。任何简单、粗陋的分类,必然会遮蔽他灵魂深处散发出的独特而深邃的思想、精神之光。多年以来,我们总是以自己的认知为中心去“安放”史铁生及其写作。其实,他从创作之初就对自己有明确的精神定位,他对人类困境的书写,是一场持续的寻根之旅,不同于20世纪80年代中期的“寻根文学”,他一直在寻找自己的“根”和“寻根”的路上。

Shi Tiesheng began his literary creation since the late 1970s and in the early 1980s received wide attention for My Distant Qingping Bay,Grandma’s Stars and other works.Comments and research on his creation also gradually began from this period.But until today,it is difficult for us to“classify”the creation of Shi Tiesheng.Any simple,rude classification inevitably obscures the unique and profound thoughts from his soul and the spirit.Over the years,we have always centered on“placing”Shi Tiesheng and his creation with our own cognition.In fact,he has had a clear spiritual positioning for himself from the beginning of his creation.His writing of human dilemmas is rather a continuous journey of searching for roots.Different from the“root-seeking literature”in the mid-1980s,he had been on the road of looking for his own“roots”and“root-seeking literature”.
