文化情致上的不同取向--废名、沈从文乡土小说之比较

废名和沈从文同以乡土题材的小说见长，他们的作品往往游离于时代，寂寞而宁静地保持着自己独特的艺术追求，显示了一种“冷的美”。两位作家都比较重视自然人性。废名对宗法制度农村文化采取静观的认同态度，描写了宗法制农村中平凡的媪男女，从他们身上发现人情美。沈从文对宗法制农村文化的取向比废名更舒展，他将乡村文化和异化了的城市文化对立物加以描写，为一种尚未受到堕落的城市文明侵蚀的极单纯、质朴的氏族社会遗风谱写了一曲曲庄严、雅致、颇有艺术魅力的挽歌式的牧歌。

Different Orientations of the Cultural Interest--The Comparison Between the Country Novels by Fei Ming and Shen Congwen

Fei Ming and Shen Congwen were both good at writing novels and short stories about the country life. Their works always drifted away from the modern times, remaining a unique pursuit of arts. They cared for human nature. Fei Ming made a study of the feudal patriarchal system calmly and tended to find human beauty from the common people. In contrast with Fei Ming's works, Shen Congwen solemnly and elegantly composed charming pastorals of the degenerated urban civilization and clan's traditions.
