“花”是汪曾祺小说中经常出现的一种重要的意象。他笔下的“花”有两类:一类是自然之花;一类人工之花。在小说中,但凡人物出场,大多有“花”相伴。“花”体现了汪曾祺对普通百姓特有的审美关照,与人物往往有着同构关系,在提供背景、渲染气氛、展示心理、推动情节等方面发挥着重要作用。 “Flower ” is an important image that often appears in Wang Zengqi’s novels. There are two kinds of “flowers” in his works: one is the flower of nature; the other is the flower of man. In the novel, whenever characters appear, most of them have “flower” companions. “Flower ” embodies Wang Zengqi’s unique aesthetic care for the common people, which often has the same structure as the characters and plays an important role in providing the background, rendering the atmosphere, displaying the psychology, and promoting the plot.
