过日子的“老理儿”与新理儿*--重读孙犁中篇小说《铁木前传》

摘要

创作于1950年代中期的孙犁中篇小说《铁木前传》在农村合作化题材小说中独树一帜。它没有直奔高歌猛进的时代主题，而是在对北方乡村百姓的“生活流”的描绘当中提炼作家对于时代主题的独特切入视角，从而巧妙地展现人际关系背后更深层的社会矛盾与人性冲突。%Written in the mid 1 950s,Sun Li ’s novella Tie Mu Qian zhuan (A Prequel of Black-smith and Carpenter),was a unique work among the rural cooperative novels.It did not go straight to the theme of the times which boasts the fast development,but expressed the writer’s unique perspective of the theme of his times by depicting northern country people’s “stream of life”,so as to show subtly the deep social contradictions and conflicts of human nature behind interpersonal relationships .
