网络时代的历史之核与文学之壳——评当年明月《明朝那些事儿》

摘要

An influential historical net novel named Something about the Ming Dynasty in seven volumes focu- ses on the fate of historical figures and exposes mystery of politics. The author expresses his personal interpretation of historic truth, goes through the historical stratum with modernized consciousness, uses the popular literary de- vices of teasing tactics and satire in Network Literature to clear up classics and authorities and revalue the moral judgment, and discriminates the core of history from the colorful shell of literature. Although the novel searches for the historical ways again to propagate knowledge of the Ming Dynasty and explains morality and justice, stereotypes in characterization and historical situation restricts the esthetic space of the novel.%七卷本重磅网络历史小说读本——《明朝那些事儿》聚焦历史人物命运，揭幕官场政治谜团，对历史本相进行了当下的通俗化个人解读，以现代意识穿越历史岩层，并借鉴网络文学中戏谑、反讽的流行手法，消解经典权威，模糊道德判断，从文学的彩壳中剥离出真实的历史之核。尽管小说重现历史路径普及明史并彰显道义，但人物塑造与历史情境的模式化倾向也制约了小说审美空间的有效拓展。
