当代历史小说中的明清叙事多涉及中西文化冲突,在塑造西方文化形象上虽表现各异,但其隐藏的多是一种“有容乃大”的优越文化心态。凌力历史小说则向人们提供了另一种异质的对等的文化,对西方文化凌力不是去“取其精华,弃其糟粕”而是力图展现本真的西方文化,以实现一种对传统文化的质疑和刺激。 The novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties in contemporary history novels mostly involve the conflicts of Chinese and Western cultures, which show different manifestations in shaping the image of the western culture. However, most of the narratives hidden in the history novels are excellent cultural mentations of “great capacity”. LingLi historical novels provide people with another kind of heterogeneous equivalence culture. They are not trying to “take the best of their essence and throw away the dregs” of western culture, but try to show the true western culture so as to achieve a Query and stimulate traditional culture.
