刘鹗的《老残游记》以深刻的思想、别具一格的艺术构思以及独特的叙事模式,在中国近代小说中占有重要的地位。小说中对音乐的传神描写深受后人的推崇。作者能够成功地把看不见、摸不着的音乐刻画得如此深入人心,这与他运用多种描写手法密不可分,其中运用得最有特色的当属比喻。 Liu Xie’s Lao Travels occupies an important position in modern Chinese novels with his profound thoughts, unique artistic conceptions and unique narrative patterns. The vivid description of music in the novel is highly praised by posterity. The author’s successful portrayal of invisible and invisible music is so deeply rooted in his life that it is closely linked with his use of multiple descriptions, of which the most distinctive features are the analogy.
