感生命之易逝 以文章求不朽——对曹丕“文章不朽”说的一种新解

On the "Eternality in Writings" of Cao Pi

曹丕的“文章不朽”说为人们实现人生的“不朽”提供了一个途径,他以探讨文学作品功用和价值的形式,阐发了文章著述事业对于人生的功用和价值。人的肉体生命转瞬即逝,只有文章能使作者扬名于时,流名于世,承载作家个体生命的内涵,超越时空限制而获得永恒。

It is Cao Pi＇s theory of ＂The Eternality of Articles＂ that provides a way for people to realize their lives, He elucidated the functions and value of writing to the author＇s life by means of discussion the functions and value of articles. Human＇s body life would vanish quickly and easily, but the articles can make the author famous from generation to generation. With the significance of author＇s individual life, it surpasses the limitation of space-times to obtain the eternity.
