20世纪八九十年代以来,改革开放的深入推进和社会主义市场经济体制的建立,不仅改变了乡村社会的生产生活方式,还引发了乡村伦理关系和农民道德观念的变化,原来意义上的乡村伦理秩序不断被解构,传统孝亲伦理走向断裂,婚恋伦理发生裂变,乡风民俗不断颓败。世纪之交的乡土小说直面社会转型期乡村社会现实,书写出农耕文明裂变下中国乡土伦理的嬗变景象,传达出作家对乡村传统伦理和淳朴民风飘然远逝的焦虑与忧思。 Since the 1980s and the 1990s, the deepening reform and opening up and the establishment of a socialist market economic system have not only changed the way of production and life in rural communities, but also triggered changes in rural ethical relations and peasant moral values. In the original sense, Ethical order is constantly being deconstructed, the traditional filial piety ethics is breaking down, the marriage ethics is fission, and the folk customs of the country are constantly decadent. Local novels at the turn of the century have confronted the reality of rural society in the period of social transition and have written a picture of the evolution of Chinese local ethics under the fission of farming civilization and conveyed the writer’s anxiety and worries about the traditional ethics of the countryside and the simplicity of folk customs.
