20世纪清代文学研究概观

A Review of the Research on the Qing Literature in the 20th Century

概要评述了20世纪中国清代文学研究的成就。20世纪,中国学术体系和学术价值观向西方转型,清代文学研究在80年代前出现两极分化现象,一方面,清代小说戏曲的研究较之于前代出现了空前的繁荣;另一方面,清代的诗文研究遭到长期的冷落,直到钱仲联先生80年代后的倡导,其才开始受到人们前所未有的关注,而整个清代文学研究的重要成果正是在80年代后,结束文革浩劫和全国迎来思想解放运动的背景下出现的。

A brief review of the achievements made in the research on Qing Literature in the 20th century is provided in this paper. In the last century when the Chinese academic system and the standard of academic value were greatly influenced by the Western norms, the research on the Qing Literature witnessed a polarization before the 80' s. Concretely speaking, this period ushered in, on the one hand, an unprecedented prosperity of research work into the novels and drama of the Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, Qing poems and lyrics were largely ignored until they regained attention after the 80's under the advocation of Mr. Qian Zhong-lian. Consequently, the research into Qing Literature became fruitful after this period, when the Cultural Revolution had come to an end and the whole nation was hailing the emancipation of minds.
