《文脉》:重文统而喜立异

Wen Mai:Traditional and Creative

明代文章及其理论以秦汉派与唐宋派为两大主流派别,而王文禄的《文脉》却推重文统,宗尚六朝,在文章发展、文道关系及典范认同等多方面提出了独到的见解,成为明代文章论当中的别调。其兼容并蓄、时出别解的特点也增强了理论的深度与锋芒,这在以派别色彩为特点的明代文坛中更显示出独特的意义。

The literature theories in Ming Dynasty can be divided into two main schools-the Qinhan school and the Tangsong school.In his Wen Mai,Wang Wenlu advocates the traditional styles of articles,especially those from the Six Dynasties,raising many unique opinions in the aspects of article structure,the relationship between articles and Tao,and identification of model articles,so that his literature theory is an alternative type beyond the mainstream ones in Ming Dynasty.The comprehensive and peculiar characteristics of Wen Mai strengthen the profundity and edge of Wang Wenlu's literature theory,which is of unique value in the literary circles of Ming Dynasty featured with denominations.
