从《喜福会》看谭恩美对中国儒家文化的批判与认同

摘要

The Joy Luck Club is Chinese American writer Amy Tan＇s masterpiece.It tells stories about the conflicts of Chinese born mothers and American born daughters,which reflects conflicts between Chinese traditional Confucian culture and American culture.Through her work,Tan criticizes the old moral codes in Chinese culture,and she also shows her identification and praise of filial piety in Confucian culture.She does not absolutely identify or criticize Chinese culture,which shows her progress in inheriting Chinese traditional culture.%自美国华裔作家谭恩美的处女作《喜福会》出版以来,国内外学者对该作品进行了不同视角的研究,并且成果丰富观点迥异。该小说通过描写母亲与女儿两代人的冲突与隔阂,表现了中国的传统儒家文化与美国文化之间的冲突。透过《喜福会》可以看到,谭恩美对中国传统儒家文化的旧礼教进行了批判,同时也对其精髓中的＂孝道＂持肯定褒奖的态度,这说明了新一代美国华裔作家在继承中国传统文化时其思想的进步性。
