宋代骈文批评中的读者反应与公共意识

Reader-response and the Awareness of Public:A Study on Parallel Prose Criticism in Song China

"本事—本文—读者反应"是一种常见于史传的叙事模式。由于这一模式适于表示信息传递的有效完成,宋人将其广泛地应用到了骈文批评当中,用以强调骈文对读者情绪的激荡。宋人借用这一叙事模式,将"感动人心"确立为评价骈文的重要标准,并认为准确地将文辞与其具体语境相契合是引发读者共鸣的关键。同时,宋人在关注骈文引发读者反应时尤注重读者群体的反馈,体现出宋代骈文批评特有的公共意识。其中包含着批评家对骈文创作的一种规诫,以警示骈文作者不要因不恰当的用语而卷入文祸。

"Context-text-reader response"is a common narrative pattern in Chinese historical proses.As it is a suitable way to signify the effectiveness of communication,parallel prose critics of the Song China used it to emphasize the importance of touching readers’empathy by words.By this pattern,"touching readers’empathy"was established as an important principle on parallel prose criticism since the Song China.For these critics,the key to touch readers’empathy is to perfectly correspond the text and the context.Meanwhile,critics were especially concerned about the response of mass readers,which suggested the public awareness in Song’s parallel prose criticism.This awareness can also be interpreted as a discipline from critics to writers,in case writers get involved into any literary inquisition due to the publication of parallel proses.
