晚清报刊小说的分类和审美趋向

Classification and Aesthetic Appreciation Trend of Novels in Periodicals in the Late Qing Dynasty

晚清小说的分类,突破了小说史中单一的题材判断原则,趋于文体形质的综合考虑,它颠覆了流衍千年的文学传统,引发国人的群体关怀。晚清小说报人众说纷纭的文体探讨,直接关合通俗小说的繁荣,折射出小说文类建构的自觉。平民文学在近代不只是一个响亮的政治符号,而落实在为民写心的文学实践中。这种基于文体的群体关怀,加速了小说传统向现代的嬗变。

Novels in the late Qing Dynasty are classified according to both their styles and contents, which breaks through the long - lasting traditional literary classification of considering just the themes of novels. The controversial researches on periodical novels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties which reflect people＇s awareness of novel classification directly affect the prosperity of popular novels. Popular literature is a literary practice instead of a political symbol. The mass of the people oriented literary style promotes change of novels from traditional to modern.
