袁宏道小品文:边缘文体的中心化创作

Yuan Hongdao's Familiar Essays: Centralized Creation of Peripheral Styles

本文以明代后期公安派著名作家袁宏道的小品文创作为例证,从文体发展的角度探讨了边缘文体的中心化问题。论证了袁宏道在开创小品文体时,兼容了业已跻身中心文体的诗歌(包括词)、散文(包括辞赋)的特质,因而有效避免了小品文的长期边缘化,使小品文在草创时期就得以类归散文之正宗。

Taking as examples the familiar essays by Yuan Hongdao, a famous writer of the Gong＇an School in the later Ming Dynasty, this paper discusses the centralized creation of peripheral styles from the perspective of stylistic development. It demonstrates that at the very beginning of establishing the new style of familiar essays, Yuan Hongdao incorporates the attributes of both the centralized styles： poetry （including Ci） and prose （including Ci Fu）, thus effectively avoiding the peripheral character of familiar essays and putting them into the category of prose.
