沈从文小说中的鱼意象

鱼是沈从文在小说中反复描写的一种动物。沈从文在其创作中为我们展现了不同种类的鱼,形式多样的捕鱼方法和不同的食鱼方式。沈从文小说中的众多鱼意象或是男女性爱的媒介,表达了作者对"爱"与"美"的追求;或是快乐童年的守护,释放了作者在城市中的压抑情绪;或是自然人性的寄托,赋予了作者欲以湘西的自然人性来拯救民族颓废的愿望。沈从文如此喜欢写鱼与其受到湘西自然山水和早期经验的影响,被湘黔地区苗族鱼图腾孑遗所感染和自觉吸收中华鱼文化应用传统密切相关。

Image of Fish in Fictions by Shen Congwen

Fish is repeatedly depicted in fictions by Shen Congwen.The works show different kinds of fish,fishing and fish making.These fishes are the media of sex between men and women,representing his pursuit of love and beauty in the sex,his memory of a happy childhood,his depressed mood of the city,his longings,and his wishes to rescue the suffering and decaying nation with the power and valor from human nature.His love in describing fish results from the influence of natural landscapes in western Hunan Province and the experience in his early life,and also from the influence of the fish totem of Miao Minority in Hunan Province and GuiZhou Province,which he absorbs and uses well.
