本文从秩序与自由的关系角度对《西游记》进行文本细读,提出《西游记》以文学方式再现与探讨了人类深层意识中秩序与自由的悖论。孙悟空“大闹天宫”是其自由意志、秩序理念与天宫实际秩序发生冲突的结果,之后走上取经路是希望藉此重新获得天宫秩序的认可。孙悟空对自由的追求体现为一个正反合的辩证发展过程,成佛意味着他重获自由和天宫秩序归化异类的成功。小说叙述在价值取向上的自我矛盾,正是人类身处秩序与自由夹缝的两难处境的精神投影。 This paper, from the perspective of the relationship between order and freedom, conducts a textual reading of the Journey to the West and proposes that the Journey to the West recreates and discusses the paradox of order and freedom in the deep consciousness of man by way of literature. Sun Wukong “Havoc in Heaven” is the result of the conflict between its free will and order concept and the actual order of the temple. Afterwards, taking the path is the hope of regaining the order of the temple. Sun Wukong’s pursuit of freedom embodies a positive and negative dialectical development process, and Buddhahood means his success in regaining freedom and naturalization. It is the spiritual projection of the dilemma that mankind is caught in the cracks between order and freedom in the novel’s self-contradiction in value orientation.
