摘　　要：文化作为人的一种基本存在方式,是一个历史性民族为自己的现实生活所建立的意义规范,并在时间中保存下来。文化虽先验于个体存在者,需要个体在后天的生活经验中不断适应、习得,但并非不容质疑、不可改变的"绝对命令"。将西方文化作为镜鉴自身的"他者"有助于我们更为清醒、全面地认识自己。北美华文文学因其创作群体文化背景的双重性,天然地具有放眼世界的视角和文化反思的意味。严歌苓的长篇小说《芳华》通过对20世纪六七十年代中国人独特的民族心理结构及内在灵魂形象的刻画,揭示了时代的分裂和民众矫揉造作的集体潜意识,对中国文化中"虚伪性"的一面进行了深刻反思。袁劲梅的中篇小说《忠臣逆子》通过戴家四代人的家族变迁史,探讨了历史时代与文化环境的局限性,并能透过表面的文化现象深入至潜伏在人性之下的文化之根,揭示出生活的根本目的。Culture,as a basic way of existence of human beings,is the meaning norm established by a historical nation for its own real life,and preserved in time.Although culture is a priori in the individual being and requires the individual to adapt and acquire constantly in the acquired life experience,it is not an unquestionable and unalterable "absolute order".Taking Western culture as a mirror of our own "other" helps us to know ourselves more soberly and comprehensively.Because of the dual cultural background of its creative group,North American Chinese literature naturally has the perspective of looking at the world and the meaning of cultural reflection.Yan Geling’s novel Youth reveals the division of the times and the artificial collective subconsciousness of the people by depicting the unique national psychological structure and inner soul image of the Chinese people in the sixties and seventies of the 20 th century.This paper makes a deep reflection on the "hypocrisy" side of Chinese culture.Through the family change history of the four generations of the Dai family,Yuan Jinmei’s novella Loyal Minister and Rebellious Son probes into the limitations of the historical era and cultural environment,and can go deep into the cultural roots lurking under human nature through the superficial cultural phenomenon to reveal the fundamental purpose of life.
