当代日本文学中的“三国志”题材——对题名“三国志”的五部长篇小说的比较分析

当代日本文坛出现了对在日本影响最大的中国古典“三国志”进行再创作的热潮。仅题名为“三国志”、全面表现三国时代历史场景和人物活动的长篇小说就有五部,即“柴炼三国志”、“陈氏三国志”、“北方三国志”、“三好三国志”和“伴野三国志”。作家们主要通过两种方法对原著进行颠覆和重构:一是努力回归史实,从中国的正史中寻找史料依据,来矫正《三国演义》中的历史与时代的偏见与局限;二是充分发挥“大众文学”善于虚构故事的优势,对“三国志”的情节作了大胆的虚构与发挥。他们还把现代推理小说的一些写法带进了“三国志”的再创作中,使作品打上了强烈的时代印记和日本文化印记。
