茅盾和贾平凹都曾写作乡土小说,茅盾30年代的作品反映外国资本主义的侵入对中国古老乡村的冲击,贾平凹在改革开放潮流中用审视的眼光看待乡土社会的变化。本文将通过对比茅盾、贾平凹此类乡土小说中的人物类型变化、乡土发展状态以及作者对“城乡碰撞”的态度来探究不同时期的作家们在城乡巨变中对乡土社会的思考。 Both Mao Dun and Jia Pingwa have written local novels. The works of Mao Dun in the 1930s reflect the impact of foreign capitalism on the ancient villages in China. Jia Pingwa viewed the changes of native society in the light of the reform and opening-up. This article will explore the different perspectives of the writers in different periods on the native society by comparing the changes of the types of characters in these local novels, such as Mao Dun and Jia Pingu, the development of the native land and the author’s attitude toward “urban-rural collisions ”.
