《唐人故事》是王小波的开山之作,但其价值却一直以来未获得普遍认可,地位更是远不及“时代三部曲”。后来随着王小波的影响力越来越大,越来越多的人开始拾起这部尘封的小说集,多个出版社均发行了单行本。王小波的《唐人故事》是对唐代传奇故事的改编,将唐代传奇故事与现实世界,用自己奇异的想象力使之融合为一体,构建了一个反映现实社会的古代世界。《唐人故事》既体现了王小波对唐代传奇故事的传承性,但同时更彰显了其自身独特的创新性。本文将紧密围绕其创新性特征来探讨《唐人故事》,借以窥探王小波小说世界的艺术魅力。 The Tang Story is a pioneering work of Wang Xiaobo, but its value has not been universally accepted all along. Its status is far behind that of the Trilogy of the Times. Later, with the increasing influence of Wang Xiaobo, more and more people began to pick up this dusty collection of novels, and a number of publishers issued single-page copies. Wang Xiaobo’s Tang Story is an adaptation of the legendary stories of the Tang Dynasty. By combining the legendary stories of the Tang Dynasty with the real world and using their own unique imagination to integrate them, Wang Xiaobo constructed an ancient world reflecting the real world. “Tang story” not only embodies Wang Xiaobo’s inheritance of the legendary stories of the Tang Dynasty, but also highlights its own unique innovation. This article will closely discuss the “Tang stories” around its innovative features in order to explore the artistic charm of Wang Xiaobo’s novel world.
