论宋代理学家的“新文统”

On the "New Literary System" of the Metaphysic Scholars in the Song Dynasty

宋代理学家否定韩愈的“文统论”,而朱熹提出“文”、“道”一元的诗文统绪, 明代学者也称为“文统”,本文则称之为“新文统”。晚宋至元代,“新文统”论孕育出《文章正宗》等四个诗文总集,成为该理论的范本。在“新文统”引领下,晚宋诗文在相当大的幅度上成了理学家们说“理”的工具,其影响直至明末。但“新文统”的历史命运并不美妙,正如清人所说:不近人情之事,终不能强行于天下。

The metaphysic scholars in the Song Dynasty negatived the theory of 'Literary System' put forward by Han Yu, but upheld that of the unity of Dao (道) and Wen (文) wrought out by Zhu Xi, which was as well called 'Literary System' (文统) by the scholars in the Ming Dynasty while 'New Literary System' in this text.From the Late Song to the Yuan Dynasty, this theory fostered four literary anthologies, such as《文章正宗》, and made them the theoretic examples.For this reason, considerable literary works in the Late Song Dynasty had become the tool of logic propositions till the end of the Ming Dynasty. However, people in the Qing Dynasty already deemed it unsatisfied with regard to human nature.
