当今中国文学和过去相比处在最好的状况,和外国文学相比处于先进的地位。 它表现为多元共生的格局,品类繁多,层次丰富,在每一级层上都达到了很高的水平。中国是文学人口第一大国,中国文学从业人员特别多,能够保障各种文学的生存。汉语在文学的层面上是复杂的语言,其深奥以及精微性、诗性等决定了它特别适合于文学创作。中国目前实行的文学制度是有利于文学繁荣和发展的,中国当下的环境可以说是最好的文学环境,这是一个适合产生伟大作家和伟大作品的时代。中国当代文学最大的困境是海外传播与接受和消费的问题,我们需要建立流畅、健全的国内消费机制,开拓中国当代文学的海外传播和消费市场,深层次地解决外国人对中国文学的接受问题。应该重新看待“流行文学”,重新审视它、正视它,并解决这个问题。
Advantages and Dilemmas of Current Chinese Literature from the Comparative Perspective
Gao Yu (Zhejiang Normal University)
Abstract Contemporary Chinese literature is not only in the best condition in history, but also in an advanced position compared with foreign literature. It has reached a high level in different manifestations such as its diversities of symbiosis, multiple categories, and varieties of gradations. China has the largest literary population in the world and the great number of literature practitioners can ensure the existence of various literary forms. Chinese is a complex language on the level of literature with a deep, subtle, and poetic nature, which determines that Chinese is especially suitable for literary creation, and can express complex thoughts and emotions. The current literary system in China is conducive for the prosperity and development of literature, and the current environment is arguably the best literary environment. The present era is an age suitable for producing great writers and great works. The greatest dilemma for Chinese contemporary literature lies in its transmission, acceptance and consumption overseas. To cope with these difficulties, we need to establish a fluid and sound domestic consumption mechanism, promote the overseas communication and expand consumption market of Chinese contemporary literature. As for popular literature, we should reexamine it, face it and thus eventually solve it.
