Abstract:
As the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature,
Pearl S. Buck lived in China for forty years. Since her long contact with Chinese
people and culture, she has left a mark on traditional Chinese culture in her
works. Her portrayal of the Chinese people is different from that of other
Western writers of her time, and she presents a very different picture of China
to the world through her own unique perspective. The Earth is one of Pearl
S. Buck’s best-known works, in which she deeply portrays the hard-working,
simple Chinese peasants and celebrates women with traditional Chinese virtues.
Her portrayal of Chinese people has, to a certain extent, broken the Western
demonization of China and has made a great contribution to the spread of
traditional Chinese culture.
赛珍珠作为美国首位获得诺贝尔文学奖的女性作家,在中国生活了长达四十年之久。由于长期接触中国与中国文化,她所创作的作品也留下了中国传统文化的印记。她笔下的中国人形象不同于同时期的其他西方作家,她通过自己独特的视角向全世界展现了一幅截然不同的中国形象。《大地》是赛珍珠最为出色的作品,她深入地刻画了勤劳、朴实的中国农民,以及对中国传统女性的赞美。她笔下的中国人形象在一定程度上打破了西方人对中国的妖魔化,为传播中国传统文化作出了巨大贡献。
