韩愈散文分期意义之探讨

A discussion of the separate period meaning of HAN Yu′s prose

文章参考韩诗分期的说法,认为韩愈散文的分期应当以“生平的变化”作判断标准,分三期较为恰当。第一期是韩愈出生至德宗贞元十九年(803)被贬阳山之前;第二期是德宗贞元二十年至宪宗元和八年(813)春作《进学解》之前;第三期是宪宗元和八年三月,至穆宗长庆四年(824)。以此分界,既合乎韩愈生活的变化情形,也能印证韩愈散文风格的转变现象。建立分期之后,可看出韩愈散文早期的特色有三:一是求仕上书相关作品甚多;二是多数作品具有平正古朴的语言风格;三是建立起“文以明道”的文学观,并终身不改。中期的特色有三:一是书牍、赠序、墓志铭大量增加;二是不再多作阐扬文艺理论的工作,代之而起的是大胆的实践与创新,明显追求诗文的雄奇变怪;三是韩愈与佛老之徒有所接触,受到佛学教义的影响,开始提出强烈的反佛老主张。晚期的特色也有三:一是延续前期有许多墓志铭之外,奏议、哀祭类作品大量增多;二是笔调更趋成熟,在文体、主题上都能因事制宜,大放异彩;三是随着境遇心情的转变,诗文风格又渐趋平缓,立言趋于谨慎,语气平和许多。

It will be adds to our better understanding of the complete works if we separate a period in the time of an au thor. But we could not saw the Tang Dynasty（唐代） HAN Yu＇s（韩愈）prose separated some periods though his poetry had been do it many times. So we must discuss some questions about HAN Yu＇s prose： Whose separated periods is correct？ The separated periods of HAN Yu＇s prose are as same as his poetry？ What is the regularity of separate a period？ What＇s the meaning of separated periods of HAN Yu＇s prose？ This paper according to the discussions of separated periods of HAN Yu＇s poetryt also separated three periods of HAN Yu＇s prose because of his life is quite changed. The first period comes between birth and 803, before he was banished from the capital to Yang--shan（阳山）. The second period comes between 804 and the spring of 813, before he wrote a article named ]in xue--jie（进学解）. The third period comes between March,813 and 824, before his time. It is clearly evident from HAN Yu＇s life was quite changed and his own writings style was changed.
