《古都》是美国文化对日本传统文化冲突下的反应,川端康成遗憾昔日美好事物的逝去,呼唤传统文化的回归,在作品中勾勒出心目中的美好“故乡”。他在作品中,把现实和传统对立起来,对现实的否定中追寻传统,这使川端康成的创作只能是一曲哀伤的挽歌。 The “ancient capital” is a reaction of American culture to the conflict of Japanese traditional culture. Kawabata Yasunari regretted the passing away of the good things in the past and called for the return of traditional culture, sketching the beautiful “hometown” in his works. In his works, he confronts the reality with the tradition and traces the tradition in the negation of reality, which makes Kawabata Yasunari’s creation only a sad elegy.
