沈从文笔下的湘西,风土民情的诗意化与人际关系的理想化大大不同于匪患绵绵、尸骨累累的真实的湘西。这不是沈从文编造的现代神话,乃是一个作家文化选择后的道德努力。沈从文爱美丽,也爱永恒;爱世界,也爱人类,这种爱闪烁着关爱人类未来的宗教情怀。沈从文从愚野边陲的湘西来到大都市后,产生一种对城市文化的幻灭感反而时常以乡下人自居,他一面以嘲讽的态度鄙弃城市中人由怯懦、虚伪混合成的苍白生活,一面开始用抒情的笔调来描绘充满野性真诚的湘西风情,并由此对文明社会所引为自豪的“秩序”和“美”表现厌弃,而对田园牧歌式的生活和粗糙朴实的灵魂却非常向往。 In Xiangxi written by Shen Congwen, the poetic sentiment and customs and the idealization of interpersonal relationship are quite different from the real western Hunan with banditry and bones. This is not a modern myth created by Shen Congwen but a moral endeavor after a writer’s cultural choice. Shen Congwen love beautiful, but also love eternity; love the world, but also love humans, this love is shining with love for the future of human religions. When Shen Congwen came to the metropolis from the western border of the Moguo border area, he often had a sense of disillusionment with the urban culture. Instead, he always used his countryman as his own, while he used a ridiculous attitude to disdain the pale life mixed with cowardice and hypocrisy in the city. Began to use lyric style to depict the wild and sincere Xiangxi customs, and thus civilized society cited as proud of the “order” and “beauty” performance of disgust, but pastoral idyllic and rough and simple The soul is very yearning.
