作家的成长受到地域文化的影响和制约,其文学创作会具有明显的地域性特征。福克纳成长于美国南方,采用写实手法创建了约克纳帕塔法县,以此为载体来书写美国南方的历史与现实。莫言受到福克纳的启发,构建了“高密东北乡”,包罗世间万象。“高密东北乡” 突出民间色彩,映射了莫言的原乡情怀,为讲述中国故事、中国经验提供了一个文学地理空间,在叙事过程中跨越了历史语境,构建历史与现实的勾连,超越了地域文化,提高了地域文化的书写价值。

The growth of writers is influenced and restricted by regional culture, and their literary creation have regional characteristics. William Faulkner grew up in South America and created Yoknapatawpha County by using the realistic technique, taking it as a carrier to write the history and reality of South America. Inspired by Faulkner, Mo Yan has constructed the “Northeast Gaomi Township”, which encompasses all worldly phenomena. “The Northeast Gaomi Township” highlights the folk color, reflects Mo Yan’s hometown feelings, and provides a literary geographical space for telling Chinese stories and Chinese experience. In the process of narration, it has transcended the historical context and regional culture, constructed the connection between history and reality, and enhanced the writing value of regional culture.
