摘要
清末民初,机器成为小说的重要书写对象。这一时期的小说通过描写机器的使用效果、机器的创造制作以及人机融合等内容,带动小说在词汇、空间、时间等形式层面出现了显著变化,使小说在发挥传播科学知识、培育国家意识的社会功能的同时,也延续了“经世致用”“以器求道”“道器合一”的传统思想脉络。清末民初小说对机器的独特呈现,留存了中国人最初的机器体验,而中国小说家处理机器的尝试,则体现了中国知识者调适外来概念以适应中国特定文化需求、文化张力的文化策略,为当下机器与文学、外来知识与本土文化的融汇提供了一种可能的方案。
In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period,machines became an important subject in novels.During this period,novels depicted the effects of machine usage,machine creation and manufacturing,as well as human-machine integration.These depictions drove significant formal changes in novels,including in vocabulary,spatial representation,and temporal framing.While fulfilling social functions such as disseminating scientific knowledge and fostering national consciousness,novels also continued the traditional ideological threads of“applying learning to practical needs”,“seeking Dao through instruments”,and“the unity of Dao and instruments”.The unique portrayal of machines in novels of this era preserved Chinese people’s initial experiences with machines.Moreover,Chinese novelists’attempts to engage with machines reflected the cultural strategy of Chinese intellectuals—adapting foreign concepts to meet China’s specific cultural needs and manage cultural tensions.This provides a potential model for the integration of machines and literature,as well as foreign knowledge and local culture,in the present day.
