舞剧《早春二月》与其说改编自柔石的中篇小说,不如说更贴近谢铁骊先行改编的电影。正是依据那一中篇小说改编的电影,根据中国电影界先驱者夏衍的建议,在中篇小说《二月》的书名上加上了“早春”二字。夏衍的建议,意在使“二月”的隐喻明朗化;但我所关心的是,柔石为何借一个时间概念来“隐喻”?他为何不用诸如古镇、老船这类地理的、物事的意象?唯一可以解释的是,那一代青年最为敏感的是时代的征候——虽然是“乍暖还寒”时节,但已然“风起于青萍之末……”敏感于时代征候的青年形象叫萧涧秋。 Dance drama “early February” rather than adapted from Rou Shi’s novella, but rather closer to Xie Taili adaptation of the film. It is based on that novella adapted from the movie, according to the Chinese film industry pioneer Xia Yan’s proposal, in the novella “February” with the title of the “early spring ” word. The suggestion of Xia Yan is intended to make the metaphor of “February” clear; but what I am concerned with is why Rouxian borrowed the concept of time to “metaphorically” and why did he not use such geography as ancient towns and old ships The only thing that can be explained is that the most sensitive generation of youth is the signs of the times - although it is the season of “turning warm and cold again”, but it is already "at the end of Qing Ping. Sensitive to the youth image of the times called Xiao Jian autumn.
