井上靖通过历史小说对西域形象进行了塑造,涉及新疆地理概况和历史风貌、民族关系以及为西域所吸引的人物。事实上,这种作为“他者”的西域形象的塑造也言说着作者自我的文化认知,即战后遭遇异民族时从反叛到反思的复杂心态。 Inoue Jing shaped the image of the Western Regions through historical novels, covering the geographical and historical features of Xinjiang, ethnic relations and the characters attracted to the Western Regions. In fact, the shaping of the image of the Western Regions as the “other” also refers to the author’s own cultural cognition, that is, the complex mentality from rebel to reflection in the aftermath of the post-war encounter.
