沈从文笔下的边城是一片人间净土。但边城虽然是一片人间罕有的净土,生活在这片土地上的人们却并不是世界上最幸福的,他们的生命里也充满了悲剧,充满了苦难,充满了无常。在沈从文先生的作品中,我们也确实读出了他对一切真、一切善、一切美的生命发自内心的祝福,从中读者也能获得心灵的具有形而上意味的慰藉。或许,这是沈从文作品具有恒久艺术魅力的最重要根源。 Shen Congwen pen under the city is a pure land of mankind. However, although the border town is a rare pure land on earth, people living in this land are not the happiest in the world. Their lives are full of tragedies, full of suffering and full of impermanence. In the works of Mr. Shen Congwen, we indeed read out his heartfelt blessing on all true, all good and all beautiful life, from which the reader can obtain the metaphysical solace of the soul. Perhaps this is the most important source of Shen Congwen’s longstanding artistic charm.
