《蛊镇》(肖江虹著,载《人民文学》2013年第6期)所追求的美感,对熟悉二十世纪中国文学的读者来说并不陌生。乡土的质朴人情、神秘风俗汇合成一种属于乡土的审美样式,却又包含带有这种样式的乡土本身的消亡。这之间有属于想象、属于情感的追寻和属于现实、属于理性的消亡,二者之间矛盾的张力,构成了《蛊镇》的情感和审美的世界。 The beauty of “Gu Town” (written by Xiao Jiang Hong, People’s Literature, No.6, 2013) is no stranger to readers familiar with Chinese literature in the 20th century. Hometown of simple human, mysterious customs together into a native aesthetic style, but with this style of native itself disappears. There is a tension between the pursuit of belonging to the imagination, the pursuit of the emotions, the disappearance of the belonging to the reality and the loss of reason, and the contradiction between the two. This constitutes the world of the feelings and the aesthetic of “Gu Town”.
