历史进化观是中国现代文学发展的起点。从清末政治小说一直到八十年代初,占主流的都是进化论叙事。然而,先锋派和新历史小说却不再承认历史必然性和进步性,偶然性、不确定性和循环性成为历史的常态,历史最终成为一种“儿戏”。 Historical evolution is the starting point of the development of Chinese modern literature. From the novels of the late Qing Dynasty until the early 1980s, the mainstream is the evolutionary narrative. However, the avant-garde and the new historical novel no longer acknowledge the historical inevitability and progressiveness. Contingencies, uncertainties and circulations have become the norm in history. History eventually becomes a “child’s play.”
