摘要
中国现代文学倡导以现代生存体验和人生思考为主要的表达对象,然而鲁迅、郭沫若、茅盾、郑振铎等作家却都曾创作过以古老的神话为题材资源的重要作品。现代作家之所以会创作古老的神话,主要有三个层面的原因:第一,中国现代作家在对新文化的积极建构中,对包括神话在内的传统文化有积极的汲取;第二,现代作家的神话题材作品将远古神话与现代社会的现实关切结合在一起,表现出鲜明的现实指向;第三,创作神话题材作品的作家大都表现出对于中国民族文化和西方异域文化的多方关照,他们既是新文学的巨匠,也对包括神话在内的古代文学具有深厚的积累。对于现代作家创作神话题材这一文学现象的考察,也丰富了对于现代文学多元性的思考,为中国现代文学与文化传统之间复杂的关联性提供了新的研讨视角。
China modern literature advocates taking modern life experience and thoughts about life as the main expression of object. However, Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Zheng Zhenduo and other writers have created important works on ancient myths. There are three mains reasons as the following. First, Chinese modern writers have positively absorbed traditional cultures including myths in the process of constructing new culture. Second, their works on myths express prominent reality by the means of combining ancient myths and modern social reality. Third, they not only are wordcrafts of new literature but also have rich knowledge accumulation of ancient literature, so they take both national cultures and exotic cultures into consideration while creating words. The investigation of this literary phenomenon cannot only enrich our understanding of plural modern literature but also provide new perspective for the complex relation between Chinese modern literature and traditional culture.
