论《穆斯林的葬礼》的“纯美与纯情”——“玉”的延续与“月”的重构

On the "Pure Beauty and Love" in Muslim’s Funeral:The Continuation of "Jade" and the Reconstruction of "Moon"

长篇小说《穆斯林的葬礼》是当代回族作家霍达的知名作品,此小说曾在1991年荣获第三届茅盾文学奖。在小说中“月”与“玉”的意象章章相扣,“月”所具有的情景性,是“月”对“玉”的延续;而“月”的“纯美与纯情”则带来了“或逆来顺受,或奋起拼搏”的抉择。以小说主人公韩新月与小说意象“月”“玉”的关系作为切入点,从文化与信仰﹑社会与个人﹑短暂与永恒等角度对情感﹑生命﹑自由等主题进行探求,阐释了韩新月的情感与信仰在“月魂”中被重构,通过被纪念的方式得以重生,并且试图超出小说的具体“事件”,对当代社会的生存状态与生命场域进行思考。
