作为著名的美国当代华裔作家，叶祥添（ Laurence Yep ）一生作品无数，尤以儿童文学作品而闻名遐迩。其金山系列小说中最新一部作品《丝之龙》（ Dragons of Silk ，2011）主要讲述了一户广东客家人的五代人的生活经历。笔者以该小说为史料来探寻其中暗含的家庭本位观。作者以新历史主义为理论基础，以比较文学形象学为研究方法，将小说中五代人的人物关系串联起来组成一张家族图谱来解析这个历经170多年风雨、横跨大洋两岸家族的每一代成员的生活经历，从而揭示这个家族是一直秉承着“家庭本位”的中国传统，通过这样的揭示来点明：作为一名土生第三代美籍华裔，叶祥添对“自我”文化的否定和对“他者”文化的亲善态度。
