长江文艺出版社北京图书中心赵萌:近日将推出北京大学中文系教授曹文轩所著长篇小说《天瓢》,《天瓢》是曹教授整 个创作生涯中的一部标志性作品,构思时间很长,大约10多年。 关于书名,曹老师曾经起过几十个名字,而且还在北大学生里招 标起名,但都没有合适的。忽然一天在他自己大量做记录的硬纸 片里发现不知道什么时候写的“天瓢”二字,感觉非常到位,问 了很多的人都说好。而且更有意思的是,这似乎也是一个天意, 书中的盐城古代的时候就叫瓢城,而且过去一下雨就发大水,水 进到屋子里,家家户户都拿水瓢去把屋子的水舀出来,成为一 景。现在水已经不再淹没这座城市了,但仍有两、三只瓢挂在城 头做为纪念。天瓢的名字由此而生。 Zhao Meng, the Beijing Book Center of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House: Recently, Professor Cao Wenxuan, professor of Chinese Department of Peking University, will launch the novel “Heavenly Scoop” which is a landmark work of Professor Cao throughout his creative career. , About 10 years.
