金元诗人群体研究的重大进展——《河汾诸老诗人群体研究》序言

An Important New Step of Research into Jin and Yuan Dynasty Literature ——Preface to A Study of the Poets of the He- Fen School

金元诗人群体研究是本时期文学研究的重要课题之一。刘达科《河汾诸老诗人群体研究》一书撷取一个影响较大且地域色彩极浓的诗人群进行了全面研究,通过这一个案揭示了金末元初诗坛某些带有规律性的问题,对于填补这方面空白有重要的学术价值。中华古代文化发展呈各民族异质文化双向交流、优势互补的格局。当中原的正统文化由于缺乏活力而趋于模式化、凝固化的时候,往往有赖于边缘地区具有朴野本性和原始活力的民族文化的补充与激活,而在新的历史台阶上实现新的整合、演进与创新,从而确保中华文化始终具有生机勃勃的活力。中国古代文学的总体特征和发展趋向也是多元一体、异轨同奔。金、元都是中国古代北方民族建立的王朝,其文学不但具有独异的风采,而且对整个中华古代文学的流程都有着十分显著的意义。该书从金、元民族文化大融合的背景上考察河汾诸老诗人群体的活动与创作,较准确地把握住了其内涵和特质。

The study of Jin and Yuan Dynasty poetic groups is an important question in the literary study at present. A Study of the Poets of the He- Fen School by Liu Dake chooses an influential poetic group with remarkable regional characteristics and carries out a comprehensive study. It reveals certain phenomenon of Jin and Yuan poetic circles that had some regularity, and has an important academic value for filling in an academic blank. Ancient Chinese culture’s pattern was that the different cultures of different nationalities interflow and complement each other. When the orthodox culture became patterned and rigid for lack of vitality, minority cultures, which were simple, vulgar, unadorned and full of vigor, would replenish and activate it, and made it integrate, evolve and innovate at new historical stage so that Chinese culture could always keep its vigor. The general feature and developing tendency of ancient Chinese literature was: pluralism in an unitary multi- national state and approaching the same target from different ways. Both Jin and Yuan Dynasties were established by northern nationalities, whose literature not only showed a unique style but also displayed remarkable significance to the whole history of ancient Chinese literature. Liu’s book reviews and inquires into activities and writing of the poets of the He- Fen school in the background of nationality mixing, and thus is able to grasp its connotation and essence.
