历史是不可重现和模拟的。诞生于其中的人物和事件,仿佛大河中的泥沙,当你在下游发现它们的时候,此物已非彼物,因为它们经过了时间的磨砺和沉淀,已经变成了现实中的事物。从这个意义上说,所有的今天都是昨天的翻版,而又绝不等同于昨天;花非花,雾非雾,一切朦胧迷幻的追溯,都是主观人物对客观历史的心理想象,梦寐复制。张卫平先生新近创作出版的长篇历史小说《歌太平——萨都剌》,便是这一追溯的具体实践。 History can not be reproduced and simulated. The creatures and events born of them are like the sediment in the rivers. When you discover them downstream, they are not things because they have been tempered and precipitated in time and have become reality. In this sense, all today is a replica of yesterday, but not the same as yesterday; flowers, fog and fog, all obscure and psychedelic retrospectives, are subjective characters’ psychological imagination of objective history and dreams copy. The historical novel “Song Taiping - Sadhu assassination” newly created and published by Mr. Zhang Weiping is this retrospective practice.
