地域文化与历史书写的中间地带——评李春平“盐道三部曲”

The Middle Zone Between Regional Culture and Historical Writing——Comments on Li Chunping’s“Salt Road Trilogy”

“盐道三部曲”(《盐道》《盐味》《盐色》)作为李春平回归乡土历史书写后的重大收获,真实反映了秦巴古盐道上以盐为生的不同群体的人生变迁与悲欢离合,并在民间化视角下以日常生活取代宏大叙事,以轻逸叙述取代沉重记录,向读者传递出以儒家伦理为核心的民间道德、民族精神与民族气节,将丰富的精神性灌注于百味之盐,为地域文化与历史书写提供了一种新的审美可能。

The“Salt Road Trilogy”(Salt Road,Salt Tasteand Salt Color),as the major harvest of Li Chunping’s return to the local history writing,truly reflects the personnel changes and joys and sorrows of different groups living on salt on the ancient Salt Road in the late years of the Republic of China,and replaces the grand narrative with daily life and the heavy record with light narration under the perspective of folk culture.It conveys to readers the folk morality,national spirit and national integrity with Confucian ethics as the core,perfuses the rich spirit into the salt of taste,and provides a new aesthetic possibility for regional culture writing.
