试论《茶馆》开放性、多元化的现代艺术品格

《茶馆》对传统久远的亚里斯多德戏剧观念予以了大胆突破,它不推崇情节(行动),而是以人物(叙述)取胜。在表现方式和艺术技巧上,《茶馆》则以"面式"叙事结构、充满历史感的宏大艺术构思、叙事诗般的讲述方式,以及"陌生化"技巧和象征手法等的运用,表现出与世界文艺的相通融合。老舍先生以其立足中国、面向世界的现代意识和不拘一格、扬弃整合的创造性劳动,赋予了《茶馆》以开放性、多元化为特征的现代艺术品格。

A Tentative Study on the Modern Artistic Quality of The Tea House: Openness and Diversity

The Tea House is a brave breakthrough towards the traditional Aristotle view of drama. It lays emphasis on its characters (narration) instead of plot (action). In the technique of expression and artistry, many different writing skills are used such as "transversal-surface" narrative structure, historical and grand artistic conception, idyll-like narrative style, "unfamiliarization" skill and symbolism etc. All of which shows the play is in good harmony with the world art. Establishing himself in China but not sticking to formality, Mr. Laoshe took the whole world in view and sorted out what was useful and discarded what was not. With his creative work, he endowed The Tea House with the modern artistic quality of openness and diversity.
