Research On Pushkin’s View Of National Literature

Pushkin(1799-1837)is synonymous with the golden age of Russian literature in the 19 th century.His genius not only embodies in poetry creation,also reflected in his aesthetic on the original.Throughout the domestic and foreign research,comments on his poetry creation a dime a dozen,but his aesthetic ideas is still not qualified.Especially Pushkin studies of national literature in Chinese minority literature value,have not yet realized by academic circles.In fact,Pushkin’s view of national literature and the methods which he used are of great value for reference today.To explore the formation of Pushkin’s view of national literature,we should first pay attention to the historical background and cultural context of Pushkin’s era.Peter the Great’s reforms brought in European cultures and languages.The aristocracy became the intellectual class of Russia.The opening of the country allowed European literary trends to flow into the cultural context of Russia.These are the key factors for the ideological maturity of Russian literature.The influence of era finally appeared in Pushkin the individual.Pushkin’s life rose and fell with the flood of the history,and his literary thoughts gradually matured in the process of exile.His way of thinking reflected the characteristics of Russian intellectuals at that time,such as comparative thinking.This sense of comparison persists in Russian culture to this day.Finally,Pushkin’s view of national literature was formed from the perspective of comparison.Through the induction,integration and analysis of Pushkin’s critical articles,letters,diaries,drafts,outlines and other texts,it is found that Pushkin’s view of national literature is mainly reflected in three aspects.The first is the "ethnic character" of literary creation.However,some people still interpret "national character" as the "popular character" of literature,which leads to the misunderstanding of his theoretical connotation.Therefore,when expounding the connotation of "nationality" in literature,it is necessary to distinguish the concept of "nationality" from that of "people".Secondly,Pushkin’s view of national literature is reflected in the "national character" of his view of language.Pushkin attaches great importance to the Russian language,because it not only relates to the development of Russian national literature,but also carries the national spirit of the Russian nation.Therefore,it is the mission of every Russian writer to innovate the Russian language to meet the development of Russian national literature.Finally,Pushkin’s view of national literature is reflected in the "ethnic character" of his translation theory.Any translation activity depends on the translation purpose of the translator.Pushkin’s purpose of translation is pretty clear,that is,to translate for thedevelopment of Russian national literature.Under this kind of subjective purpose,the translation subject and language of Pushkin’s are "nationality" is given priority to.Pushkin’s view of national literature has certain enlightening effect on the development of Chinese ethnic minority literature,which includes three aspects.First,his connotation of "nationality" is a reference value for the definition of "nationality" in minority literature.The construction of "national character" in minority literature is an urgent task for Chinese ethnic literature researchers at present.Pushkin’s literary "national character" provides us with a three-dimensional framework,that is,national thinking and aesthetic psychology run through the trinity of character image,national spirit and national language.Secondly,Pushkin’s translation theory provides us with a translation strategy based on the "national character" of ethnic minorities."National character" as the primary standards of translation materials and language,to make the minority literature "going out" at the same time,maintain the characteristics of our culture.Thirdly,Pushkin,as a bilingual writer,not only applied comparative thinking and methods to poetry creation and literary translation,but also to literary criticism.This provides us with a new perspective to study the creation of minority bilingual writers,that is,to pay attention to the influence of this group’s comparative thinking on their creation.The innovation of this paper is that it focuses on Pushkin’s comparative thinking and method for the first time.From this perspective,the formation of Pushkin’s view of national literature can not only further understand the core of Pushkin’s literary thoughts,but also seek methodological value in the formation of Pushkin’s view of national literature.In a word,Pushkin’s inspiration lies not only in his view of national literature,but also in his open comparative vision and eclectic research attitude.Pushkin’s literary thought and research attitude provide new vitality for the study of Chinese minority literature two hundred years later.
