战争、武侠、竞技与游戏——关于战争文学与文化的另一种解读

中国现代战争文学,在对战争的英雄化、诗化、审美化中,常常使战争变成了人的欲望的狂欢,人生价值实现的最高形式,战斗英雄成了一代人的青春偶像。而苏联作家肖洛霍夫的《静静的顿河》和中国作家张炜的《古船》,却正视了战争在神圣、崇高、正义背后的人性的残酷的一面。而在后战争时代,武侠小说、各种竞技游戏便成了战争的最好的替代品。

The War,Martial Chivalry,Competition and Play——A reading of war literature and culture

While poetizing and anesthetizing the war and worshiping the war heroes,modern Chinese war literature often turns the war into a carnivalization of man's desires and the highest form of realizing human values.For a generation of Chinese people,the war heroes become their youth idol.And Quiet Flows the Don by the Russian writer Mikhail Sholokhov,and The Ancient Boat by the Chinese author Zhang Wei come to face the cruelty of war in human nature behind its seemingly sacredness,sublimity and justice.And in the post-war era,fiction on martial chivalry and various competitive plays come to the best substitute of the war.
