论章太炎的复古主义文学观

On Zhang Taiyan′s Literary Views of the Doctrine of "Returning to the Ancients"

章太炎是中国近现代之交的著名学者,他的复古主义文学观包括将“文学”的概念回复到先秦时代,倡导诗文创作应该宗法于魏晋等。然而章太炎的思想是复杂的,他曾激烈地批判传统,又对新文化运动和白话文学进行抵制,最终退化为文化保守主义者。章太炎的复古主义文学观体现了其所处时代的过渡性特征,深刻地反映了中国文化发展所蕴涵着的内在矛盾。

Zhang Taiyan was a famous scholar in modern China. His literary views of the doctrine of “Returning to the Ancients”include returning literary concepts to the early Qin Dynasty, and advocating that poetic creation should follow the example of the Wei and Jin Dynasty. However, his ideas are contradictory. He has strongly criticized tradition and resisted the new culture revolution and vernacular literature and he degenerates into the cultural conservative at last. Zhang Taiyan＇s literary views of the doctrine of “Returning to the Ancients” embody the transitional characteristics of his period and deeply reflect the internal conflicts implied in Chinese cultural development.
