中国现代小说是由现代政治精英和文化精英,为了促进社会文化变革而共同呼吁和建构起来的文体。自诞生以来,其就作为文化武器,积极参与到救亡图存、建构民族国家历史运动之中。随着时势移易,政治精英已经不需要从文学宝库中寻求用于安邦定国的工具,文学在政治生活中日益边缘化。与此同时,作为精英文化组成部分的现代小说,从它诞生起就一直严重脱离民间社会,脱离底层人群的文化生活和精神生活。21世纪的现代小说实际上只有一条路可走,那就是干脆更加精英化,走小众化之路,从西方现代小说和现代文学、希伯来文化和古希腊文化中寻找精神资源,滋补现代小说的精神缺陷。 Chinese modern fiction is a style that is jointly called and constructed by modern political elites and cultural elites in order to promote social and cultural changes. Since its birth, it has been actively participating in the process of saving the nation as a cultural weapon and building the historical movement of the nation-state. With the change of the times, the political elites no longer need to find the tools to secure their country from the literary treasure. Literature has become increasingly marginalized in political life. At the same time, as a part of the elite culture, modern novels have been severely separated from civil society since its birth and have been separated from the cultural life and spiritual life of the underclass. In the 21st century, there is actually only one way to go in the modern novels. That is to say, we are going to be more elitist and follow the path of miniaturization. We should look for spiritual resources from modern Western novels and modern literature, Hebrew culture and ancient Greek culture, The spirit of the novel defects.
