汪曾祺“高邮小说”中的农耕文化意蕴

The Implication of Farming Culture in Wang Zengqi’s Gaoyou Novel

汪曾祺是京派代表作家之一,他延续京派关注中国农村的特点,在“高邮小说”中展现应时、取宜、守则、和谐的农耕文化意蕴。其“高邮小说”中的物质类农耕文化内涵蕴含在农作物、畜禽等描写中,而精神类农耕文化内涵则蕴含在时令节气、农耕文化性格、农业民俗等叙述中。这种深厚的农耕文化情结起于童年时期地域环境的影响,继于青年时期师从沈从文,成于生命体验的触发,最后他用文学之笔构建了一个独具苏北特色的“高邮世界”。在现代工业文化日渐蚕食农耕文化的当下,汪曾祺富有农耕文化意蕴的“高邮小说”为我们留下了一幅异彩纷呈的农耕画卷。
