论中国古典文学研究的三种关系

On the Three Relationships in the Study of Chinese Classic literature

自上世纪80年代以来,中国古典文学研究呈现出多元发展的局面,在各个层面都取得了令人瞩目的成绩。为了使古典文学研究继续向纵深发展,应当解决相互对立、又相互联系的三种关系,即“文学本体”研究与非文学本体研究之间的关系,“当代”意识和历史主义之间的关系,“全球化”语境与民族性之间的关系。中国古典文学研究的当务之急,当然是挖掘其作为“文学本体”所蕴涵的审美价值、艺术价值,并在此基础上进而发现、利用其所具有的其他各种价值,同样十分必要。应当以一种历史主义的态度去研究古典文学,但任何历史都是当代意识观照下的历史,古典文学研究同样如此。中国古典文学的民族性固然应是我们关注的焦点,但如何适应“全球化”语境的趋势,把中国古典文学推向世界,同样是摆在我们面前的迫切任务。

Since the 1980s, the study of Chinese classic literature has developed in multitude. Achievements have been made in various aspects. To promote the development of the study, the three relationships should be well dealt with： relationship between ontological and non- ontological studies; relationship between modern consciousness and historicism; relationship between the globalized context and nationality. Now it is urgent to explore the aesthetic and artistic values in the ontology of the Chinese classic literature. In addition, it is equally important to utilize its other values based on that exploration. The classical literature should be studied from historic perspective. However, any history is the history influenced by modern consciousness. Therefore, while the nationality should be our study focus, it is also our urgent task to adapt ourselves to the globalized context and introduce the Chinese classical literature into the world.
