史铁生的创作思想性和艺术性兼具，思辨和哲理性是他作品的重要特征，尤其在他的创作成熟期，无论思想的高度，还是文体的创新，随心所欲地将典故、戏剧、电影、诗歌、消息等文体带入到创作中，打破陈规，跃出边界，在广阔的“心魂”境域里自由想象。

正是基于他写作上的这些特点，从空间诗学来研究不失为一个好的选择。本文将从空间诗学的角度切入史铁生创作，试图在空间诗学的角度理解史铁生的创作艺术。在分析中，笔者将从乡土空间、城市空间、想象空间三个方面分析史铁生创作的空间诗学，力图揭示其叙事奥秘与美学效果。

乡土空间来自于黄土高原这个地理空间，书写史铁生下乡插队的知青生活，充斥着劳动、汗水、苦难、饥饿的现实，形成史铁生文学创作中的一个新的底色。他所接触的人和事、喂牛、与动物相处，这些全新的体验在改造和添加着他的情绪和情感，这种空间的所见所闻让史铁生的创作在经验、情绪，抒情方式、交流方式上发生着明显的变化。

城市空间来自于史铁生的残疾时期，对城市空间元素的梳理，找寻史铁生创作的精神生活的特殊性，看到空间对他的文学创作和心灵状态的特殊影响。轮椅看起来是被困在极为狭小的一个空间，随着车轮不断滚动，思维也在不断滚动，他的想象力则自由地行走在广阔的精神世界里。

想象空间来源于史铁生的“形而上”思想，他用心魂写作，想象空间是彻底放开的，他所想象的不仅仅是人生经历、历史经验，更多想象的是精神生活，想象“形而上”的哲学思想。在他的《务虚笔记》里，写着大量的梦境，心灵的空间、梦幻的空间在自由地飞翔和想象。

本文通过运用空间诗学对史铁生的创作进行分析，在一定程度上弥补了国内学界在这个角度上对史铁生研究的不足，并加深对史铁生艺术上的认识。

Shi Tiesheng’s creative work is imbued with both thoughtfulness and artistry, featuring speculation and philosophical traits as significant aspects of his writing. Particularly in his mature period, his works transcended boundaries, seamlessly integrating allusions, drama, cinema, poetry, news, among other genres, achieving a level of freedom in the vast realm of the “soul.”

Given these characteristics of his writing, studying from the perspective of spatial poetics is an apt choice. This article approaches Shi Tiesheng’s creation through the lens of spatial poetics, aiming to understand his artistic creation from this viewpoint. The analysis will focus on three aspects: the rural space, the urban space, and the imaginative space, in an attempt to unravel the narrative mysteries and aesthetic effects of his work.

The rural space is rooted in the Loess Plateau, depicting the life of educated youth sent to the countryside, filled with the realities of labor, sweat, hardship, and hunger. These experiences formed a new foundation for Shi Tiesheng’s literary creation, transforming and enriching his emotions and expressions, thus noticeably altering his narrative style and communication methods.

The urban space is derived from his period of disability, where the elements of city life are sorted through to find the uniqueness in his spiritual life and observe the special impact of space on his literary creation and mental state. Confined to the limited space of a wheelchair, his thoughts rolled with the turning wheels, while his imagination roamed freely in the vast world of the spirit.

The imaginative space stems from his metaphysical thinking. With his soulful writing, the imaginative space is entirely unbound, encompassing not only personal and historical experiences but also delving into the realm of spiritual life and metaphysical philosophy. His “Notes on Idling” is filled with dreams, allowing the spaces of the mind and fantasy to soar and imagine freely.sections on “mind and soul” writing, the spatial imagery of dreams, ultimate questions, and creative styles. 

By employing spatial poetics to analyze Shi Tiesheng’s creation, this article somewhat fills the research gap in the Chinese academic community from this perspective and enhances our understanding of Shi Tiesheng’s artistic achievements.
