论老舍国民性改造的价值取向

在老舍的文本世界中,“理想市民形象”承载了他国民性改造的核心价值观念。这种价值特征在发展的过程中,遭遇了根源于“民族自尊”的“文化侵略”的想象,从而形成了认同西方文化立场与尊重传统文化优质因素之间难以调和的矛盾状态。这种矛盾不仅颠覆了左翼关于“现代革命”的理论想象,而且使得老舍撤回传统文化内部寻找国民性更新资源。

The Contradiction on Lao She's Innovation of National Character

In Lao She's literary world,his value system in innovating national character focuses on the so-called ideal citizen,which emerges in folk dreams enveloped by the traditional culture.In the course of forming the axiology,Lao She comes up with the assumption of cultural invasion due to his great sense of national esteem,which leads to an incompatible contradiction between identifying with the Occidental culture and valuing the essence of Chinese traditional culture.Such a contradiction not only overturns the left-wing's theory about modern revolution,but also makes him retreat to the core of our traditional culture to search for resources for the innovation.
