文学精神与文学经典——以战后五六十年代中国文学为例的研究

Literary Spirit and Literary Classics——A Case Study of Postwar Chinese Literature Between the 1950's and the 1960's

文学经典的价值维度中,文学精神始终是最重要的一环,而悲剧精神及其衍生的批判精神构成了五四后中国文学精神的某种核心。悲剧精神的深化,表明了中国现代文学经典达到的高度。如将战后海峡两岸文学纳入五六十年代中国文学的整体研究视野之中,可清楚看出:正是文学的悲剧精神、批判精神在解决文学与政治、传统与现代的紧张性对峙矛盾中,延续了“五四”后中国文学典律构建的命脉,而它的失落也造成了经典性的萎缩。

Literary spirit is always the most important portion of the value of literary classics. For Chinese contemporary literature, tragic spirit and critical spirit derived from the former has formed a kind of core of the spirit of Chinese literature since the May- 4th Movement. The deepening of tragic spirit indicates the height that classics of Chinese modem literature has attained. A review of literature on either side of the straits taken as part of the 1950 - 1960 Chinese literature shows that it is just this tragic and critical spirit that continues to sustain the line of construction of literary classics in softening the contradictions between literature and politics and between tradition and modernity.
