论王安忆《天香》与明清小说的交会情缘

摘要

WANG An-yi’s work Tianxiang is deeply influenced by the novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties and can be called a triumph for its returning to the classics.The writer is good at sublimating the unusual thinking with the figures in the classic novels as the media,and creating the new and unique context and atmosphere.She has described the marketplaces and secular world with elegant language,which has reflected the warmth and fragrance of people’s emotion.Similar to A Dream of Red Mansions ,the novel Tianxiang has created a pure and lovely kingdom of females,which is,however,different from Grand View Garden.This has shown the creative spirit and progressive awareness in the new time.There are some flaws while she absorbs the classic art.The writer’s artistic personality and hobbies have kept her from drawing artistic essence from Ming and Qing novels.This,to some extent,has led to the loss of the artistic shock power which she should have deserved.%王安忆长篇小说《天香》深受明清小说的影响，堪称回归古典的一次凯旋。她善于以古典小说中的人物故事为媒触借以升华出奇思妙想，创造出新颖独特的情境氛围；她以典雅秀丽的文笔写市井俗情，个中透出的是人间情感的温暖与芬芳。《天香》如同《红楼梦》创造了清纯可爱的女儿国，却又有别于大观园，彰显出新时期的创造精神和进取意识。在借鉴古典小说艺术的同时，亦存在某些缺失。作者的艺术个性和癖好制约了对明清小说的艺术精髓的大胆汲取，一定程度上失去了应有的思想艺术震撼力。
