提升中华文化国际影响力视域下中国经典故事的世界性书写策略--以《苏武牧羊》为例

Strategies for Writing Chinese Classic Stories in the World from the Per⁃spective of Enhancing the International Influence of Chinese Culture--A Case Study of The Shepherd Su Wu

增强中华文化国际传播力影响力,使之与我国综合实力相适应是一项长期的任务。中国经典故事内蕴着丰富的中华文化内容,是中华文化国际传播的重要资源。中国经典故事国际传播的有效途径是一个值得探讨的重要问题。曹文轩2022年出版的长篇小说《苏武牧羊》,对最早记载于《汉书》中的苏武北海牧羊的故事进行了具有世界性面向的重新书写。作家在对中国经典历史故事的世界性讲述中,择取全新叙事策略,对原初叙事重心和主题进行重塑,努力减少可能因不同文化背景的读者与文本之间的文化壁垒而产生的文化传播阻力。曹文轩的“新”小说《苏武牧羊》挖掘本土性经典文化资源,通过世界性书写策略向世界讲好中国故事,从而提升中华文化国际影响力的典型案例。

It is a long-term task for our country to enhance the dissemination and influence of Chinese culture in international communication and make it fit with the comprehensive strength of our country.As classic Chinese stories contain rich cultural contents and are important resources for the international dissemination of Chinese cul-ture,a probe into effective ways for the international dissemination of classic Chinese stories is an important issue worth exploring.Cao Wenxuan's novel The Shepherd Su Wu,published in 2022,opts to rewrite with a global per-spective the Chinese historical story of the hero Su Wu herding sheep in the wilderness area Beihai,which was first recorded in A History of the Han Dynasty.In the global narration of classic Chinese historical stories,the writer has chosen a new narrative strategy,remolding the original narrative focus and theme,and trying to reduce the cultural transmission resistance that might be caused by the cultural barriers between readers of different cultural back-grounds and the text.As Cao Wenxuan's new novel,The Shepherd Su Wu provides us with a typical case of how to exploit the local classic cultural resources and how to better tell Chinese stories to the world through the global writ-ing strategy,and thus enhance the international influence of Chinese culture.
