王安忆与戴厚英淮河小说的皖北乡村书写比较研究

A Comparative Study of the Writing of Northern Anhui Countryside in Huaihe River Novels by Wang Anyi and Dai Houying

王安忆和戴厚英是中国当代文学史上两位颇具代表性的女作家,她们与淮河有着千丝万缕的联系,聚焦皖北乡村各自创作出“淮河系列小说”。但二人在创作视角、叙事倾向、审美追求、叙事语言等方面,有着很大不同,体现了各自鲜明的审美个性与艺术魅力。“外来妹”王安忆从“局外人”的视角,以平淡的叙事语言,审视皖北乡村的人性与文化,在回望中由批判转向怀念;“淮河的女儿”戴厚英则是从植根皖北的“局内人”视角,运用乡土味的叙事语言,从历史与现实的交叉点上书写“流泪的淮河”,在写真中由眷恋转向反思。她们的淮河小说分别展现了不同阶段的心路历程与审美追求,共同丰富了皖北乡村书写的文学图景。

Wang Anyi and Dai Houying are two representative female writers in the history of Chinese contemporary literature.They have inextricable links with the Huaihe River and have created their respective“Huaihe River Series Novels”focusing on the countryside of northern Anhui.However,there are significant differences between the two in terms of creative perspectives,narrative tendencies,aesthetic pursuits,and narrative languages,reflecting their distinct aesthetic personalities and artistic charms.As an“outsider,”Wang Anyi examines the culture and humanity of the countryside in northern Anhui from an outsider’s perspective,using plain narrative language,and shifts from criticism to nostalgia in retrospect.On the other hand,Dai Houying,the“Daughter of the Huaihe River,”writes about the“weeping Huaihe River”from the perspective of an insider rooted in northern Anhui,using vernacular narrative language,and shifts from attachment to reflection at the intersection of history and reality.Their Huaihe River novels respectively exhibit the mental journey and aesthetic pursuits at different stages,jointly enriching the literary landscape of the countryside writing in northern Anhui.
