摘要: 童话是儿童文学的标识性文体。与其他叙事类文体不同的是,童话具有自洽的叙事逻辑体系。童话叙事逻辑是童话的内在规约和重要审美尺度,愿望性幻想、内在合理性和本质真实是构成童话叙事逻辑的三大要素。基于儿童的泛灵思维特质,童话叙事逻辑具有自洽性、自足性和延展性,且与童年精神具有同构性。而童话小说化,则是童话叙事逻辑的新变和强化。以幻想为内核的童话具有博大的浪漫主义精神,但与中国主流的现实主义文学传统较为疏离。因此,对童话叙事逻辑的偏见、误解甚至无知,导致中国童话生态环境不佳。事实上,童话作为儿童成长的重要精神食粮,以无可比拟的诗性品格培育童年的诗性人格,铺建儿童厚实的人文底色,为长大成人积攒正向能量。利用好童话这一优质的成长资源,无疑是建构中国童年精神的重要抓手。

Abstract: Fairy tales are the signature genre within children's literature.Apart from other narrative genres,fairy tales have a unique self-consistent system of narrative logic.The narrative logic of fairy tales is the inner convention and the important aesthetic scale of the genre.Wishful fantasy,intrinsic rationality and essential authenticity are the three major elements that constitute the narrative logic of fairy tales.Based on the law of children's animistic thinking,the narrative logic of fairy tales is composed of self-consistence,self-sufficiency and malleability.The “fictionalization of fairy tales” is a new change and strengthening of the narrative logic of fairy tales.Fairy tales with fantasy as its core have a broad romanticist spirit,but it is relatively detached from the Chinese mainstream realistic literary tradition.Therefore,prejudice,misunderstanding and even ignorance of the narrative logic of fairy tales have led to the deteriorated ecology of fairy tales in China.As a matter of fact,fairy tales,as an important spiritual nutrition for children's growth,cultivate the poetic personality of childhood with its incomparable poetic quality,pave the way for children's humanistic foundations,and accumulate positive energy for their development.Utilizing fairy tales as a high-quality resource for children's growth is undoubtedly an important approach in reconstructing the spirit of Chinese childhood.

Key words: the narrative logic of fairy tales, childhood spirit, wishful fantasy, intrinsic rationality, essential authenticity
