淡云·微风·清泉——浅论林语堂的文学主张

Humilis cloud, gentle breeze and clear spring——The literary ideas of Lin Yutang

林语堂是个颇为复杂的文化人。长期以来在我们的文学史上很少提及,即使提到,也仅仅是在《语丝》时期略提一笔。其实,他不仅文学创作颇丰,而且在文化理论建设和文化批评方面也颇有建树。他的“幽默文学”、“闲适小品”、“性灵文学”和“娓语笔调”等文学主张都是现代文学批评史上弥足珍贵的精神遗产。

Lin Yutang is a knight of the pen who is very difficult to judge, for a long time, little has been menuoned about him in our literary history, even ifbe has been mentioned in some places that is only in the period when he write for the magazine “Yu Si” Actually, he has not only written many influential works, but also played an important role in the theoretic construction of literature and literary criticism. Many of his literary ideas such as “humorous literature”,“quiet essay”,“personal style of writing”, and “spiritual literature” have become the precious spiritual heritages in modern literary critic history.
