古代河西走廊西行文学刍议

A Brief Discussion on the Westbound Literature in Ancient Hexi Corridor

古代河西走廊位于丝绸之路咽喉要道,几千年来东往西来的人们络绎不绝,形成了一条闻名遐迩的“陇右—河西—西域”西行之路。有路就有诗,以路串诗,以诗显路,产生了独具特色的西行文学。历史上五凉时期、唐代、明清时期曾出现了西行文学发展的三个高峰期,其文化品性的基本特点是:寻根文学一脉相承,英雄主义、尚武精神的赞歌,士人家国情怀的升华,贬谪文学翻出新声,“误读”与“矫正”的矛盾统一,文学的自觉。其诗性审美特征是:“江山之助”雄浑豪壮之美,“诗史”性价值,走廊文学的属性,士人的心路历程。“文学之路”的研究已渐成一个学术增长点,在重绘的中国文学路线图上,应该给予河西走廊西行文学以应有的地位。

The ancient Hexi Corridor is located at the throat of the Silk Road.It has witnessed an unceasing flow of people traveling from the east to the west for thousands of years.This resulted in the formation of a renowned route known as“Longyou-Hexi-Western Regions”route.Where there is a road,there is poetry.By connecting poetry through the roads,and highlighting the roads through poetry,a unique style of literature has emerged in the westward journey,with poetry playing the most significant role.In Chinese history,three peaks of westbound literary development occurred during the Five Liang Period,Tang Dynasty,and Ming-Qing Dynasty.The basic cultural characteristics include the inheritance of root-seeking literature,the praise of heroism and martial spirit,the sublimation of the patriotism of literature,the emergence of new voices in exile literature,the unity of contradictions between“misreading”and“correction”and the selfawareness of literature.Its poetic aesthetic features include the majestic and magnificent beauty of“the aid of rivers and mountains”,the historical value of poetry,the attributes of corridor literature and the emotional journey of rough literati.The study of the“literary road”has gradually become an academic growth point.In the redrawn map of Chinese literature,the literature of the westbound along the Hexi corridor should be given its right position.
