新时期,以方方、池莉、彭建新、吕远斌和何祚欢等为代表的湖北当代小说的创作呈现出十分强劲的态势,引起文学评论界的广泛关注。但是大多数的研究者多是单一地从地域文化的角度予以探讨,而忽略了小说所反映的都市生活本身及其相关的文化内涵。本文的研究是以武汉作家创作的关于武汉的小说(即“汉味小说”)为对象,综合运用民俗文化和地域文化的理论,探讨“汉味小说”的民俗特征、都市精神及其文化内涵。 In the new period, the creation of Hubei contemporary novels, represented by Fang Fang, Chi Li, Peng Jianxin, Lv Yuanbin and He Xuanhuan, showed a very strong trend, arousing widespread concern in literary critics. However, most of the researchers mostly focus on the regional culture from a single point of view, ignoring the urban life itself and its related cultural connotations reflected in the novel. The research of this article is based on the novels about Wuhan (ie, “Han Wei novels”) written by the writers in Wuhan. Based on the theory of folk culture and regional culture, this article discusses the folk custom features, urban spirit and cultural connotation of “Han Wei Novels” .
