《太阳照在桑干河上》呈示出文学叙事与历史叙事的某种同一性。特定的历史观念成为规约小说创作内部法则的逻辑力量。这是一部“创世”史诗。在小说中,开天辟地的土改运动打破了古老乡村那种非历史的自然和空白状态,千年循环的时间轨道发生了“断裂”,由此更生出真正的历史起点和一个崭新的世界。丁玲以文学的形式对新的历史行为进行跟踪,在特殊的历史、文化语境中想象和建构着历史。 “The sun shines on the Sanggan River” shows some identity between literary narrative and historical narrative. Specific historical concepts have become the logical force of the internal rules of the novels. This is a “creation” epic. In the novel, the earth-shaking movement for earth reform broke the non-historical nature and blank state in the ancient villages, and the “time-breaking” orbit of the millennium cycle broke out, thus giving birth to a real historical starting point and a brand-new world. Ding Ling traces new historical behaviors in the form of literature and imagines and constructs history in a special historical and cultural context.
