一九三五年,鲁迅首次使用了“乡土文学”这一术语。①他解释道:“凡在北京用笔写出他的胸臆来的人们,无论他自称为用主观或客观,其实往往是乡土文学的作者。”“然而”接下来他又解释道:“在还未开手来写乡土文学之前,他却已被故乡所放逐,生活驱逐他到异地去了,他只好回忆‘父亲的花园’,而且是已不存在的花园,因为回忆故乡的已不存在的事物,是比明明存在,而只有自己不能接近的事物较为舒适,也更能自慰的。”② In 1935, Lu Xun used the term “native literature” for the first time. He explained: “Anyone who penned his chest in Beijing, whether he claims to be subjective or objective, is often the author of native literature.” “However,” he explained Said: “Before he started to write local literature, he had been banished from his native land and expelled him to a different place. He had no choice but to recall ’Father’s Garden’ and was a garden that no longer exists because memories Things that are not there in our hometown are more comfortable and more masturbation than things that are obviously there, but only things that we can not access. ”
