中国近代教育与近代新兴文艺理论

On Modern Education and the Modern Literary Theory in China

中国近代教育是一种对传统教育的被迫改革的教育。清朝政府改革教育的步伐与列强侵我中华在时间上是大体一致的。其目的是维护王朝的封建统治,中体西用是其核心思想。文艺理论教育是“西学”侵入的结果,从此有了从内容到形式都区别于以往传统的文艺理论教育。其文艺思想有明显的从古代到现代的过渡性特征。正是这一点,给我们提供了重新审视的必要和可能。

China's modern education is an education developed from her traditional education under specific circumstance of the time. The Qing Dynasty began the reform in education by absorbing the essence of the West's and mixing it with the Chinese at the same period when foreign invaders began to attack China, in order to sustain its feudal reins. Therefore, the education of literary theory that developed at the time, different in both form and content from the traditional, was the result of Western invasion. This explains the fact why China's education of literary theory is characteristic of the transition from ancient features to the present. The present paper restudies the necessity and probability of the above points.
