高旭文学思想初探

The Preliminary Research on Gaoxu's Literary Thought

高旭是近代革命文学团体南社的创始人之一,他的文学思想也很有时代代表性。他认为,文学应随时代而变化,因而“变”是其文学创作的线索。他强调文学的现实性和战斗性,要求它具有社会内容,反对无思想性,但也须注重文学的艺术特质,讲求文学的功利性与愉悦性的统一。然而由于时代社会思潮及个人世界观的影响,他的文学理论在中与西、创新与复古的问题上,也存在着矛盾与混乱。

Gaoxu was one of the founders of the Southern Society, a modern revolutionary literature group. His literary thought also had era representativeness. He thought that literature should change with era, therefore 'changing' was a clue to his literary creation. He emphasized the reality and militancy of literature, demanded social content, objected to not having ideological content, and stressed the artistic speciality of literature and the unity of literary utility and making joyfulness. But because of the influence of the era social ideological trends and personal world outlook, his literary theory on 'China and West' and 'innovate and restore ancient ways' involved the contradiction and confusion.
