Linking Ancient and Contemporary Continuities and Discontinuities in Chinese Literature edited by Tiziana Lippiello, Chen Yuehong 陈跃红 and Maddalena Barenghi ‘晚郁时期’的中国当代文学 ‘The Belated Mellow Period’ of Chinese Contemporary Literature Chen Xiaoming 陈晓明 (Peking University, China) Abstract 20th century Chinese literature has changed dramatically, resulting in multiple fractures. Therefore, we will try to use the so-called «belated mellow period» to explain the artistic standards and aesthetic characteristics of Chinese literature today. The «belated mellow period» refers to Chi- nese literature getting into such a period: For one thing, in terms of the history of Chinese literature, its vernacular has gone through a 100-year radical change, while thoroughly absorbing the influence of Western literature and shaping it to the unique cultural characteristics of Chinese language. For another, in terms of the state of literature today, China has a number of writers entering middle age. Their writing style seems calmer and their sense of innovation is deeper, tougher and more contemplative. This is the «late style» and it means Chinese literature has reached a more mature, purer realm. The most significant works of contemporary Chinese literature are moving farther and farther away from Western modernist literature.

Chinese Contemporary Literature. 新世纪中国文学呈现出与上世纪八九十年代迥然不同的格局、格调和气 度。不再有激烈的变革愿望；也没有焦灼的抵达现实主义高度的欲求，突然沉静 下来，反倒是更加偏执地走着所谓中国的路数。八九十年代在中国文坛风起云涌 的“西方”，消失得无影无踪，如今留下的是如此平静朴拙的汉语文字。当然，我这 里说的是主流文学史脉络延续下来的这类文学，事实上，当今中国文学分化得相当严 重，我们说“文学”时，已经很难概括所有的文学现象。另一方面的景观是青年一代 作家，在网络与市场上四面出击，如鱼得水。固然这种文学可能标示着未来，开辟出 中国文学完全不同的另一条道路；但也有可能峰回路转，重归故里，依然成为传统的 一脉。我们这类在传统文学中讨生活的人们，可能还是秉持着传统文学观念，以历史 来看今天，以今天来期盼未来。 这就使我们要去思考，进入21世纪这些年，中国文学呈现出不同的格调气质到底 意味着什么？到底是一种老气横秋，锐气全无，还是有另一种韵味，另一种自由？这 本文属于国家社科基金重大招标项目百年中国文学与当代文化建设研究成果项目批准号10ZD 098。 Sinica venetiana 3 DOI 10.14
