一、文学何为与文学的时代诉求一个时代有一个时代的文学。我们无法用古今中外经典文学的标准来衡量今天的文学。柳青所处的文革前“十七年”文学,每年大约出版长篇小说12部左右,而“十七年”总共出版的长篇小说也就200部左右。在今天,文学出版可谓空前的繁荣。每年出版的长篇小说大约3000部。如此庞大的长篇小说出版量,不尽人意之处在所难免。然而我们不能因为一部分作品,甚至是一大部分作品的差强人意就整个否定中国当代文学。 First, the literature and what the era of literature aspirations An era of literature of an era. We can not measure today’s literature with the standards of ancient and modern literary classics. Before the Cultural Revolution where Liu Qing was located, there were about 12 novels published each year, and about 200 titles were published in total in the 17th Year of the Cultural Revolution. Today, literary publishing can be described as unprecedented prosperity. Approximately 3,000 novels are published each year. Such a huge volume of novels published, unsatisfactory place is inevitable. However, we can not totally negate the contemporary Chinese literature because of the unsatisfactory part of the works, or even a large part of the works.
