盐既是一种文化现象,也是一种文化载体。其中,盐场文学,是这个体系中重要的组成部分。在中国的盐场文学中,有两部小说——《镜花缘》和《自流井》,特别引人注目,代表了我国古代盐场文学的高峰。细读两部作品,不难发现,同为盐场文学,它们各自孕育于不同的时代背景和地域文化,展现了迥异的写作风格与内容,是我国的盐文化体系中不可忽视的存在。 Salt is both a cultural phenomenon and a cultural carrier. Among them, saltworks literature is an important part of this system. In Chinese saltworks literature, there are two novels, “Jing Hua Yuan” and “Artesynic”, which are particularly attractive and represent the peak of ancient saltworks literature in China. Looking closely at the two works, it is not difficult to find that saltwater literature, which was conceived in different contexts and geographies, shows different style and content of writing. It is not negligible in China’s salt culture.
