摘要
世界兒童文學創作作為一個系統，與成人文學系統及整個世界文化的大系統有著千絲萬縷的聯繫。從外部流入的能量和物質總會以各種不同的方式對兒童文學創作發生影響，從而使世界兒童文學的發展在兩個多世紀裡，從一開始就顯示出一種複雜的結構。兒童文學系統內既有一條有跡可尋的主幹脈絡，又有對創作主幹的些微偏離，隱藏著諸如兒童文學文化化、成人化的傾向。到了二十世紀，隨著世界大文化背景不斷劇烈地變動，後現代社會多元文化局面的形成，它施於兒童文學創作系統的影響也愈來愈大。原來系統內部那些微小的變化，在外部流入的能量和物質足夠多時，就使兒童文學創作的主幹發生「分叉」，形成兒童文學的非主幹系統，它與主幹系統互相纏繞、扭結，終於導致世界兒童文學混沌狀態的形成。混沌對世界兒童文學發展具有雙重效應。一方面它削弱了兒童文學自組織系統的本質特徵，另一方面它又促成了兒童文學多元格局的形成。混沌既是一種無序，又是一種更「高級」更複雜的有序。這種混沌狀態的形成既打破了人們對世界兒童文學黃金夢的憧憬，又擊碎了兒童文學解體的傳說。面對混沌，我們很難預測世界兒童文學將會如何發展，但我們不必對此感到驚慌和遺憾，我們不妨以平常心，以更加從容的態度去面對今天，把今天的事情辦好。

Having everything connected with the characteristics of adult's literature and the world's one as a whole, the creation of world wide children's literature has been showing signs early from its birth of complicacy, which, with the coming of 20th century, was growing in intensity owing to the rapid change of the background of world culture and the radical influences it experienced afterward. When accumulated to an enough degree. This complicacy broke up from its main branch and hence, the so-called ＂turbidity＂ formed in the end. Based on the above phenomenon, this paper makes further a concrete analysis of the forms or the principles of turbidity, indicating that in its world-view, it might conceal a high level of sequences, though disorder it seem at present stage.
