中国传统文学的换形变体——论“诗化小说”的兴起与传承

Transformation of Chinese Traditional Literature—On Rise and Inheritance of Poetic Novel

诗化小说是中国现代文学中有创造性的形式,它是现代作家将传统文学精神与现代小说形式相结合的产物。它不是简单地借用古典小说技巧,而是创造性地将诗歌艺术融合在小说形式中,表达有传统文化意蕴的思想情感,是传统文学的换形变体。这一形式的兴起,是现代作家们难以抑制的传统文学情结的结晶,也是他们将传统文学现代化的创新性尝试。这一文体形式对现代文学的本土化具有典型意义。近年来这一创作传统明显衰落,其背后有特别值得反省的原因。

Poetic novel is a creative form of Chinese modern literature,as well as a product combining traditional literature spirit and modern novel form by modern writers. Poetic novel can be understood as the transformation of traditional culture,which not just uses the writing skills of classical novels,but also integrates poetry art into novels in a creative way to deliver the thoughts and emotions with traditional cultural connotation. The rise of such form is an innovative attempt,which has typical significance for the localization of modern literature. However,in recent years,this writing form tends to decline,which is particularly worthy of reflection.
