文体“返回”与精神“前驱”——对韩少功乡土小说创作的一种阐释

Stylistic"Return"and Spiritual"Precursor"——An interpretation of Han Shaogong's Local Novels

韩少功前期的现实主义乡土小说创作体现了一种本质主义的思维方式,是对现代性价值体系的认同和表现。但其后的创作发生了很大变化,韩少功的乡土小说创作从前期的传统现实主义文体形式转向中国古典小说的散文化文体形式,其内在的动因在于他试图努力把握身边的历史,尤其体现了他对现代性价值的质疑和反思。作为一个有着强烈的现实介入意识和现代理性精神的作家,韩少功以重返乡村的文化实践为反思现代性,探索现代化的健康发展路径寻找坚实的精神资源。

Han Shaogong's early creation of realistic local novels reflects an essentialist way of thinking,which is the recognition and expression of the value system of modernity.However,great changes have taken place in his subsequent works.His local novels have shifted from the traditional realistic literary style to the prose literary style of Chinese classical novels.The intrinsic motivation for such shift lies in his efforts to grasp the history around him,reflecting his questioning and reflection on the value system of modernity.As a writer with a strong sense of realistic intervention and modern rationalism spirit,Han Shaogong takes the cultural practice of returning to the countryside as a way to reflect on modernity and explore the healthy development path of modernization for the search of solid spiritual resources.
