《缅边日记》《水摆夷风土记》《红河之月》是西南联大学者基于云南边地考察后而写的文学作品,三部作品的书写路径恰好是对云南西南边地的全覆盖展示,是对“边地中国”文学形象版图的拓展与实践。作者对战时“边地中国”形象的文学建构主要表现在三个方面,一是基于民族认同构建多民族国家的边地印象;二为聚焦边地人民生存之苦塑造“等待曙光”的边地形象;三是作者将家国忧患意识及学者严谨态度相结合,从学术文化、政府政策等理论学识视角出发搭建“忧思中的边地形象”。为中国现代文学的边地书写提供了新的创作样本及审美体验,也为现今民族工作的开展、中华文化的发扬提供了丰富的文学素材。

Myanma Border Diary,Shuibaiyi Local Record(Local Customs of Dai Ethnic Group Living by Water),and Red River Moon are literary works written by scholars of National South-West Associated University after their academic investigation in Yunnan border areas.The writing path of the three works covers all the southwest border areas of Yunnan,and is also the expansion and practice of the literary image map of"border China".The authors'literary construction of the image of wartime"border China"is mainly manifested in three aspects:first,the border impression of"a multiethnic country"is constructed on the basis of national identity.The second is to focus on the suffering of the people living in the border area to create the border image of"new dawn".Finally,the author combines the awareness of national security and the rigorous attitude of scholars,and constructs a"border image in worry"from the perspective of theoretical knowledge such as academic culture and government policies.Those works provide new creative samples and aesthetic experience for the"border China"of modern Chinese literature,and also provide rich literary materials for the development of national work and the promotion of Chinese culture.
