温情与哀愁——论汪曾祺故里小说中的悲剧色彩
|
摘要
汪曾祺新时期创作的部分小说以其故乡为依托,构建了淳朴美好的高邮小城。但随着小城的发展,作者对故乡愈加凋敝的人情风俗产生了深深的忧虑,故使小说中人物的命运多以悲剧收场。这种忧虑在汪曾祺早期的故里田园牧歌中便已暗存,看似超脱的桃源牧歌实则陷入时代洪流的裹挟中无法超脱。
A few of the contemporary novels by Wang Zengqi are set in his hometown and create a simple and beautiful life in the town of Gaoyou.However,the local customs and practices are fading and the characters in his novel are likely to end up in tragedy,which reflects the writer's concern for his hometown being attacked by the times,for the disappearance of traditional culture and for the fading of customs.This concern in fact has been hidden in Wang's early works on his hometown.The seemingly unconventional pastoral depiction is restricted in the grip of the times.

① 新生活运动,是1934年蒋介石在对红军连续发动军事“围剿”和在国民党统治区实行文化“围剿”的同时,在江西省城南昌发起的重整国民道德与改变社会风气的运动。因其从改造国民的日常生活入手,所以又被命名为“新生活运动”。
② 1931年的水灾,先南后北,殃及中国16个省的672个县(市)。尤以长江和淮河流域灾难深重,湘、鄂、赣、浙、皖、苏、鲁与豫8省合计受灾人口5127万,占当时人口的1/4;受灾农田面积973万hm2,占当时耕地面积的28%;全国死亡约40万人,经济损失达22.54亿元。
