论黄爵滋的经世诗文理论及其实践意义

Huang Juezi’s Pragmatic Literary Theory and Its Practical Significance

作为晚清著名政论家,黄爵滋的诗文理论具有经世致用的特点。具体而言,其诗论以儒家所言人的道德本性为体,回归传统诗教,强调诗歌的经世功能、批评受袁枚"性灵说"影响的纤靡之作。其文论强调文章本于经术,以"忠信"解释"修辞立诚",注重对社会现实的关怀,认为制义文也具有阐明圣学、扶翼世风的作用,故不能废弃。黄爵滋的诗文创作,是其经世诗文理论的体现。黄氏长期为官京师,是当时诗坛领袖之一,他与好友汤鹏、张际亮、潘德舆、姚莹、魏源等论诗、唱和,共同引领了晚清嘉道时期的经世文艺思潮。

As a well-known political commentator in the late Qing Dynasty,Huang Juezi’s literary theory has the characteristics of pragmatism.Specifically,his poetry theory is based on the moral nature of people described by Confucianism,returning to traditional poetry education,emphasizing the practical function of poetry,and criticizing the delicate works influenced by Yuan Mei’s"Xingling Theory".His article theory emphasizes that the article is based on Confucian classics,explains"rhetoric to establish honesty"with"loyalty and truth",and advocates attention to social reality.In particular,he believes that the"zhiyi"article cannot be discarded because it has the ability to clarify Confucianism and the effect of reform society.Huang Juezi’s literary creation is the perfect embodiment of his theory.He was an official in Beijing for a long time and was one of the leaders of poetry at that time.He discussed poetry theory with his friends Tang Peng,Zhang Jiliang,Pan Deyu,Yao Ying,Wei Yuan,etc.,and jointly led the literary thoughts that cared about national affairs during Chia Ching and Tao Kuang period in the late Qing Dynasty.
