二十世纪中国小说创作中,家族小说从家族演变和家庭关系纠葛中叙说着中国社会的基本状态,家庭中的主要结构关系象征着中国社会基本的伦理关系和传统秩序。但是,不同的时代语境,却有着迥异的叙事方法和态度,对比巴金的《家》和刘恒的《苍河白日梦》中的叙事对象的变化,不仅能使我们了解作品的存在方式及这种存在的文化意义,而且有助于我们观察和捕捉到二十世纪中国文学创作中,小说的叙述特征及其文化意识的演变。 In twentieth-century Chinese novel writing, the family novels narrate the basic state of Chinese society from family evolution and family relations disputes. The main structural relationships in the family symbolize the basic ethical relations and the traditional order in Chinese society. However, the contexts of different times have quite different narrative methods and attitudes. Compared with the changes of the narrative objects in Ba Jin’s “Home” and Liu Heng’s “Cang Daydream”, not only can we understand the ways in which the works exist And the cultural significance of this existence, but also helps us to observe and capture the narrative features of the novel and its evolution of cultural awareness in Chinese literary creation of the twentieth century.
