摘要
凤凰是中国传统文化中重要的原型意象之一,从早期的图腾形象到以屈原为代表的浪漫主义文学传统,凤凰成为高洁、优雅理想人格的鲜明象征,赋予了凤凰意象以丰富的文化内涵,再到郭沫若《凤凰涅槃》的这种在困境中自焚、在自焚中重生的思想路径,正是中国传统文化中的火浴母题。以此为视角来观照海外华人所经历的悲情、磨难与救赎的过程,展现了他们在大苦难、大变迁过程中的浴火重生,并最终完成了凤凰的"涅槃"。
The phoenix as one of the archetypes in traditional Chinese culture embodies,as seen from its images on the totem poles,and in Qu Yuan's romantic poetry,lofty spirit,and elegancy in personality.Guo Moruo in his The Nirvana of the Phoenix introduces the theme of self-burning in adversity and rebirth from ashes.The motif captures the nature of the overseas Chinese experience of misery,hardships,and self-salvation,and helps us understand their rebirth after burning just like the phoenix's rebirth from ashes.
