论震川文章的清人评点

Towards the Commentaries on Zhen Chuan's Essays by Scholars in the Qing Dynasty

文章发掘了清代二十余家有关震川文章的评点,总结了归文的主要特点在于生活化、亲情化、小说化、平淡化,并在此基础上充分肯定了震川文章在中国散文史上的地位。文章对清代否定震川散文的一些主要论点作了分析,认为归有光是中国散文从“官”本位到“民”本位、从“杂文学”到“纯文学”、从古代向近代转型过程中的一个先驱、一个关键性的人物。假如以此标尺来加以衡量的话,恐怕对他的评价再高也不为过。

This paper points out more than 20 commentaries on Zhen Chuan＇ s essays （essays written by Gui Youguang） in the Qing Dynasty and summarizes the major characteristics of his essays, which are concerned with life and kinship and which are structured like stories with prosaic plots, before it fully ascertains their status in the history of Chinese prose. The paper analyzes some of the main arguments which deny the value of Zhen Chuan＇ s essays and assesses Gui Youguang in a new light. The writer of this paper argues that Gui Youguang was a pioneer who played a key role in the process of literary transformation where Chinese prose changed from topics of officials to those of folks, from ＂mixed literature＂ to ＂pure literature＂, and from ancient literature to modern literature. If he is assessed in the light of his capacity as such a pioneer, it seems plausible that Gui Youguang can never be over - evaluated.
