“新写实”小说是中国当代文学史上一个重要的文学流派。今天回顾这股文学思潮 ,可发现其中超出文学价值的文化特质。在文化态度上 ,“新写实”是立足于现实来择取中西文化传统的 ;其文化表征从外及内依次呈现为凡俗文化、中年心态文化和生命哲学文化 ;而最终的文化指向均是市场和大众。“新写实”小说的文化选择代表着转型期中国人生活的“样法”。 The “New Realistic” Novel is an Important Literary School in the History of Contemporary Chinese Literature. Recalling this literary trend today, we can find the cultural traits that transcend the literary value. In terms of cultural attitudes, “New Realism” is based on the reality to choose the traditional Chinese and Western cultures; its cultural representations are presented in turn from the outside to the inside as the secular culture, the middle-aged mentality culture and the life philosophy culture; and the ultimate cultural orientation is Market and the general public. The cultural choice of “New Realistic” novels represents the “sample approach” of Chinese people in the transitional period.
