潘岳与“文人无行”

Pan Yue and the Saying of "A Literary Man Is of No Conduct"

“文人无行”说由来已久,其前提为儒家品文模式“文如其人”。潘岳成为“文人无行”代表人物纯属偶然。“文人无行”现象揭示了封建社会文人人格被肆意扭曲和无情蹂躏的悲剧,文与人的矛盾普遍存在。而透视潘岳人格系统自身的矛盾,则发现文与人又存在某种一致性。因此,肯定“无行”文人情辞俱佳的成功之作,既是对文学创作规律的尊重,也是对人类向善之心的褒扬。

The long-standing saying of ＂a literary man is of no conduct＂ is based on the view that the writing mirrors the writer-the Confucian mode of rating literary works in China. Though regarded as ＂a literary man of no conduct＂, Pan Yue is by no means a typical one. Such phenomenon as ＂a literary man is of no conduct＂ reveals the tragedy of literati with personality distorted wantonly and dignity ravaged ruthlessly in feudal society, and the universal contradiction between the writing and the writer as well. But analyzing Pan Yue＇s personality, we find that the writing and the writer are in harmony. Hence, to approve the successful literary works of literati with no conduct not only respects the literary creation rules, but also upholds human＇s aspiration for the good .
