《萨朗波》虽然取材于历史,但小说对历史环境的独特处理、历史观的缺乏以及历史主体与事件的深层断裂,使得小说中的“历史”仅仅成为历史碎片的堆积与场景印象的叠加。小说的真正主题是“欲望”。作为叙述的对象,作为意义的载体,汪洋恣肆的欲望叙事填补了小说中历史主义塌陷后出现的主题虚空。 Although “Sarangbo” is based on history, the unique treatment of the historical environment, the lack of historical view and the deep rupture of historical subjects and events in the novel make “history” in the novel merely an accumulation of historical fragments and scene impressions . The true theme of the novel is “Desire.” As the object of narration, as the carrier of meaning, the unbridled desires of Wang Yang filled the void of subject which appeared after the collapse of historicism in the novel.
