前尘隔海入梦频:论徐复观的乡土书写

On Xu Fuguan’s Native Writing

徐复观的乡土书写代表作十篇,分布在两个时段:一九五二年至一九六二年,一九七〇年至一九七五年。前一时段的创作借文学弥补大陆难回的惆怅,也获益于东海大学期间闲适氛围下的审美观照。后一时段创作是主动参与到台湾二十世纪七十年代乡土文学之争的成果,变轻灵为沉郁,纾解一己之愤懑,同时壮大乡土阵营之兵威。徐复观的乡土书写既披露农村的荒寒、农民的艰苦多舛,亦以动情的笔调写田畴垄道的桑麻之乐、灵迹秘氛。这种看似矛盾的书写正反映出乡土叙事的丰富内涵。母亲的慈爱、父亲的“厉”爱、乡土神迹,与徐复观笔下的农村一起,构成其乡土书写的广阔风景。
