中国现代文学的又一次探索--试论四十年代的文学环境

1937年到1945年,由于日本的侵略,中国广大的版图被分割为"沦陷区"、"国统区"和"根据地"三个部分.这种分割,对本时期的文化、文学的构成产生了很大影响.如果进一步考察,这三个文学区域中文学流派、作家群体的组成是比较复杂的,其间有一个迁徙、转移、分化和重组的过程.重庆、延安和昆明这三座城市代表着三地,折射出不同的文化"背景"和文坛面貌,反映了40年代前半期中国文学多元化的发展态势.在40年代,虽然战争使交通和媒体的传播受到一定的影响,但是文艺协会和杂志的活动、发行仍然呈现出比较活跃的局面.1946年"五@四"文艺节的次日,上海<大公报>发表了该报编辑萧乾写的"社评"<中国文艺往哪里走?>,对文艺现状和发展前景表示了深深的忧虑,表现了40年代后半期相当一部分中国人中所普遍感受到的一种"大茫然".

Another Exploration in Modern Chinese Literature--On the Literary Environment in the 1940s

Owing to the Japanese invasion, China's territory had, from 1937 till 1945, been divided into three parts: "the Japanese- invaded area" , "the Kuomintang - controlled area" and "the revolutionary base area". Such a division had exerted a tremendous impact on the culture and literature. Under close scrutiny, it can be discerned that literary schools and constituents of writer community in each of the three areas were fairly complicated and there had been a process of migration, transfer, breaking - up and reshuffle over those years. The literary arenas in Qiongqing, Yanan and Kunming, reflective of different cultural "backgrounds" and features, exhibited diversified developmental trends of literature in the 1940s. Though affected by war to some degree, activities and publications of literary associations were rather active in the 1940s. An article published in Dagong Paper one day after the May 4th Literature and Art Festival in 1940s showed much concern for the status quo and development prospect of literature and art, which mirrored the common blankness of many Chinese people in the late 1940s.
