当代文坛推出了一批具有新思想的动物小说,不同于古典拟人化动物小说,其从动物本身的生活行为着手,讲述一个个与人类平等的生命的故事。此类动物小说的成功标志着社会主流思想需求与审美发生转变,也暗含着中国当代动物小说的发展进入一个新趋势。本文笔者通过分析《狼图腾》、《中国虎》、《怀念狼》等优秀动物小说作品,分析总结了中国当代动物小说的发展趋势。 Contemporary literary circles have launched a series of animal novels with new ideas. Different from classical anthropomorphic animal novels, they start with the animal’s own life activities and tell stories about life equal to human beings. The success of such animal novels marks a change in the demand and aesthetic of mainstream ideology in the society, and implies that the development of Chinese contemporary animal novels has entered a new trend. Through analyzing the excellent animal novel works such as “Wolf Totem”, “Chinese Tiger” and “Missing Wolf”, this paper analyzes and summarizes the development trend of Chinese contemporary animal novels.
