多民族中国古代文学史教材编撰侧议

On Compiling of Teaching Materials of Multinational Chinese Ancient Literature History

中华民族文学是多民族文学构成的共同体,具有多样统一的特点。一般来说,目前流行的高校文科中国古代文学史教材绝大多数没有充分注意到中国文学的多民族性这一特点,所述内容基本上是汉族文学及少量的少数民族作家的汉文创作。亟须编撰尽可能真正再现中华多民族文学原生态和民族特点的《中国古代文学史》。正确认识并解决好相关的理论问题是编撰多民族文学史教材的前提。应以多民族文学史观为指导,从民族融合和民族文化融合的切入点审视中国古代文学现象及其流程,对古代少数民族的作家书面文学和民间文学口头创作都给予足够的重视。基础研究和各民族文学专史的编写是综合性的多民族《中国古代文学史》产生的必要条件。

Chinese literature is a community formed by multinational literature, which is of characteristics of diversity and unification. Generally speaking, most prevailing teaching materials of Chinese ancient literature in colleges and universities at present have not given full attention to the characteristics of the multinational na- ture of Chinese literature, and their content mainly involve Han Nationality literature and a few minority nationality writers＇ works in Hanzi （Han Nationality＇ s characters）. It is urgent to compile Chinese ancient literature history which can truly reappear original features and nationality characteristics of Chinese multinational literature. The prerequisite to compile the teaching material is to accurately understand and solve theoretical problems concerned. We should take the outlook of multinational literature history as the guiding theory, observe and study the phenomena and history of Chinese ancient literature from the angle of nationality mixing and nationality culture mixing, pay sufficient attention to ancient minority nationality literature in both written and oral form. Basic research and compiling of every nationality literature history are the essential conditions of the coming into being of the comprehensive and multinational Chinese ancient literature history.
