张平小说写作的方向、价值简析

张平小说的一个明显的特征是它的强烈的关注现实的情怀、实实在在的生活的“含金量”和近距离的“纪实品格”。其《法撼汾西》、《天网》、《孤儿泪》、《抉择》、《十面埋伏》、《对面的女孩》都直接取材于现实生活 ,都有大量的现实素材做基础。张平的小说又不同于一般的“社会问题小说” ,它不仅仅限于提出问题 ,而是要积极地干预现实 ,尤其重视对社会正面力量的褒扬和歌颂 ,充满了正面的激情 ,散射出积极的理想主义光彩。张平小说其实正代表着一种文学传统 :为人民代言 ,为老百姓鼓呼。这是中国文学史上的一个优秀的、源远流长的写作传统 ,如儒家的“文以载道”论 ,以《诗经》为开端的现实主义传统 ,屈原的“哀民生之多艰” ,杜甫的“三吏、三别” ,白居易的“惟歌生民病” ,鲁迅的“俯首甘为孺子牛” ,赵树理的全心全意为农民写作、甘当“文摊作家” ,当然 ,还有毛泽东的“文艺为工农兵服务”和我们党后来的一系列类似的文艺政策等等。张平的小说创作正是这一优秀传统的继承和发扬光大。它的出现、成功 ,无疑是对文学领域那种远离“大众生活”的私人化倾向的有力针砭和拨正。代言传统小说 ,过去曾经步入公式化、概念化和庸俗政治化的歧途 ,而张平却未落窠臼 ,他的小说写作已有了一些新的变化 ,如自?

Brief Analysis on the Direction of and Value in ZHANG Ping's Works

An obvious characteristics in ZHANG Pings novels is their strong concern on reality, their life like vividness, and their close-up record of the reality. His "Fenxi Legal Case" , "Sky Net" , "Misery of the Orphan" , "Choice" , "Ambush", "Girl Facing Me" are all adoptions from real life with great amount of raw materials from life as their basis. However, his novels are different from ordinary "social problem novels", as they are not limited to raising of the questions, but are actively taking part in reality, especially in praising positive forces of the society, therefore, full of enthusiasm and the idealism. ZHANG Pings novels are a representation of a literature tradition in speaking and cheering for the people. This has been an excellent long tradition in Chinese literature history, such as in Confucius "literature reflects life", in the realistic tradition started from "The Book of Songs", in QU Yuans "Mourning on Peoples Hardship", in DU Fus "Three Officials, Thrice Farewells", in BAI Ju-yis "No Poem without Peoples complaint", in LU Xuns "Willingness for the Service of the people", in ZHAO Shu-lis whole-hearted writing for the people, and in MAO Ze-dongs "Art for the sake of workers peasants and soldiers" and other similar policies by the CPP. ZHANG Pings works are the inheritance and promotion of this tradition. Its appearance and success is doubtlessly a forceful criticizing and rectification against the privatization trend away from public life. Traditionally the prolocutor novels used to be in a wrong direction with philistinism political slogans, formula and concepts. But ZHANG Ping did not follow suite. There has been some new change in his novels, such as taking in more sense of ego and independence, combining fairly well the record of reality with active ideals, producing strong artistic attraction. ZHANG Pings works not only provides an important revelation in direction and comparison for the literature world, but also a valuable revelation in value and in comparison.
