寻找“理想的父亲”:冰心创作中的另一面

Searching for “Ideal Father”:Another Aspect of Bing Xin's Works

文学史在提及冰心的创作时,强调的往往是柔情的"母爱",而忽视了冰心作品中的"寻父"情结,这些情结体现在对现实父亲、理想父亲、他者父亲这三种父亲形象的塑造与渴求上。一个人的成长过程是解构封建父权("弑父")、建构理想父子关系("寻父")、自我完善的过程。不管是激烈"弑父"的反面衬托,还是温情"寻父"的正面呼吁,都产生于一个共同的认知:即父子之间的不平等。冰心遵循"父性文化"的传统,通过"父子对构"的方式着力反映社会生活中种种父子之间的矛盾,对"父如何为父、子如何为子"提出建议,表现出深刻的现代意义。

History of literature usually stresses on the emotional maternal writings in Bing Xin's works,while disregarding the complex of 'paternal love',which embodies in the construction and searching of actual father,ideal father,and the father as 'the other'. The process of one's growth contains deconstructing feudal patriarchy( 'father-murdering'),constructing ideal relationship between father and son,and self-fulfillment as well. Both the harsh description of 'father-murdering'and the soft calling for 'paternal love'imply inequality between father and son. Bing Xin followed the tradition of paternal culture,describes conflicts between father and son by juxtaposition and proposed on 'how to be a father'and 'how to be a son',which demonstrated much modern significance and theoretical value.
