姚雪垠宣称“有自己的一套关于长篇历史小说的创作原则和长篇小说的美学思想 ,”即“历史现实主义原则” ,并且运用之去指导自己的创作 ,在《李自成》中获得巨大成功 ,并自诩《李自成》为“填补中国现代历史长篇小说的空白”之作。其实 ,在背离历史重大事件时谈“现实主义” ,在某些枝节问题上大讲“历史” ,沿用“三突出”模式而不自知 ,小说绝大部分篇幅背离其创作立意 ,本文针对这些问题 ,引用大量材料进行了深入剖析。 Yao Xueyin proclaimed that “there is a set of own aesthetic principles on the creation principle and novels of long historical novels,” that is, “the principle of historical realism”, and that it is used to guide his own creation and achieved great success in “Li Zicheng” , And self-proclaimed “Li Zicheng” as “to fill gaps in modern Chinese history novels.” In fact, talking about “realism” when deviating from major events of history and telling “history” on certain issues of stubborn areas and using the “three prominent” models without realizing it, most of the novel deviates from its creative conception. Problems, quoted a lot of material for an in-depth analysis.
