“和而不同”作为我国重要的传统文化与思想资源,早已融汇于中华文化的血脉,辐照着当今中国各思想文化领域的理论建构与观念塑造。同时“和而不同”作为一种文论思想或文学观念,也在深层次地塑造、导引着中国当代文学的精神气质与审美品格。面对20世纪80年代末90年代初中国政治经济变革的连锁反应下散文的萎靡之气,贾平凹等人面对散文的靡弱局面,创办《美文》月刊以践行“大散文”的文学使命,秉承“和而不同”的理念,在散文的题材、体裁以及创作主体等方面都显露出一种开放型的文学观念与多元的价值选择,并以“美”为其旨归与前提,“大散文”便是“大”而“美”的散文。同时,“大散文”观的“和而不同”也显露出“文化磨合”的意识,在古今中外多元文化质素的对话、互动与会通中建构着“大现代”文化的散文格局。

As one of the important resources of traditional culture and ideology in China, the thought of “harmony in diversity” has long been merged into the blood of Chinese culture, thus enlightening not only the theoretical construction but also the idea formation in Chinese ideological and cultural fields nowadays. At the same time, it is regarded as a literary theory or literary idea, deeply shaping and guiding the spiritual temperament and aesthetic character of Chinese contemporary literature. Faced with the slump situation of prose in the chain reactions of China's political and economic changes in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Jia Pingwa and others founded the monthly magazine Meiwen to practice the literary mission of great prose with the core concept of “harmony in diversity”. The literary journal reveals an open literary idea and the multiple value choice in the topic, genre and main body of literary creation of prose. Taking literary beauty as its purpose and premise, “great prose” is grand and beautiful. Meanwhile, revealing the consciousness of cultural blending, the thought of “harmony in diversity” in “great prose” also constructs the prose pattern of “great modern” culture in the multicultural dialogue, the interaction and the understanding between ancient and modern cultures home and abroad.
