方修:马华文学史研究第一人

Fang Xiu:The First Person Who Studied the literary History of Ma Hua

马华文学自来无史 ;有之 ,则自方修始。方修是对马华文学的性质和特点、源头和分期作出合理界说的第一人 ,也是本地人写本地文学史的第一人。他的论著是马华文学作为一门学科创始的标志。他用现实主义文学观来描述马华文学的成长史 ,难免有欠周全之处 ,但不能由此否定他在国内外尤其是对中国学者研究马华文学的巨大影响。尽管人们对方修的研究有不同的看法 ,但在马华文学研究史领域 ,目前尚未脱离“方修时代”。

There's no history of Ma Hua literature:If we have it,it must have started from Fang Xiu. FangXiu is not only the first person to give reasonable explanations by stages for the nature,characteristic and source of Ma Hua literature,but also the first person to write the local literary history as a native.It's hard to avoid unperfection since he describes the progression of history with realistic literary ideas.But we can't deny the great influence he imposes in both home and abroad,especially on those chinese scholars who study Ma Hua literature,Although people hold different opinions about the study of FangXiu,they have not yet broken away from the 'FangXiu Era' in the historic study of Ma Hua.
