赛珍珠中国题材小说中的建筑书写

On The Architectural Writing in Pearl S.Buck’s Novels about China

文学与建筑有着天然的联系。文学作品中的建筑具有重要的文学功能,它们不仅确定了特定的文学基调,也参与了人物塑造,推动了叙事发展,升华了审美诉求与民族精神。1938年诺贝尔文学奖获得者、美国著名女作家赛珍珠创作了一系列的中国题材小说,这些作品中包含大量的中国建筑的描写。其中,建筑构建了不同的空间:日常伦理的空间、消费时尚的空间和区隔性别的空间。这些空间不仅在塑造和传承中国传统伦理观念中扮演着重要的角色,也记录着时代的转换、断裂和沟通。文学文本与建筑文本的并置研究,可以实现文本意义阐释的开放性和多样性,为赛珍珠的研究提供一个新的维度。

There is a natural connection between literature and architecture.Architecture in literary works has important literary functions.It not only sets a specific literary tone for the text,but also participates in shaping character,promoting the development of narrative,and sublimating the aesthetic appeal and national spirit.Pearl S.Buck,the famous American woman writer who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1938,writes a series of novels about China,which contains a lot of descriptions of Chinese architectures.These architectures construct different spaces:a space for daily ethics,a space for fashion consumption,and a space for gender division.These spaces not only play an important role in shaping and inheriting Chinese traditional ethics,but also record the change,break,and connection of the times.The juxtaposition of literary texts and architectural texts can realize the openness and diversity of the interpretation of text meaning,thus providing a new dimension for the study of Pearl S.Buck.
