音乐与文学，是人类发展历史长河中不可或缺的两门艺术。在人类的童年时代，音乐、诗歌、舞蹈是融为一体的，往往同时出现、相辅相成。随着人类社会的发展，音乐与文学这两门艺术才逐渐分离成两个独立的门类，但其中仍有着密不可分的隐秘关联。音乐和余华的作品有着诸多关联，本文将从三方面入手分析，分别是音乐对余华创作的影响，余华作品中的音乐性表征，和余华作品中的音乐潜文本。音乐不仅直接影响了余华在小说、散文创作上的题材内容，还潜移默化地进入了他的叙事潜文本中。余华的作品在重复叙事、高潮叙述、复调叙述三方面有着鲜明的音乐性，而他在创作中表现的主题和使用的技巧，则更深层地体现出其文本背后潜在的音乐性。不论是深化主题，还是塑造人物、营造氛围，音乐在余华作品中都隐秘地发挥了巨大的作用。

Music and literature are two indispensable arts in the long history of human development. In human childhood, music, poetry and dance are integrated, often appearing at the same time and complementing each other. With the development of human society, the two arts of music and literature have gradually separated into two independent categories, but there is still a close and secret relationship between them. There are many connections between music and Yu Hua's writings. This paper will analyze from three aspects, namely, the influence of music on Yu Hua's creation, the musical representation in Yu Hua's writings, and the subtext of music in Yu Hua's works. Music not only has a direct influence on the subject matter of Yu Hua's fiction and prose creation, but also has an imperceptible influence on his hidden narrative text. Yu Hua's writings have distinct musicality in the three aspects of repeated narration, climax narration and polyphonic narration, and the themes and techniques he expresses in his creation more deeply reflect the potential musicality behind his texts. Music plays an important role in Yu Hua's writings, whether it deepens the theme, shapes the characters and creates the atmosphere.
