1917年南社唐宋诗之争原因探微

The Reason of the South School Debate Focusing on Tang-Song Poems in 1917

唐宋诗之争,是中国古代文学批评史上一直聚讼不已的公案。1917年,发生在南社内部的唐宋诗之争,不仅结束了这场公案,而且凸现出同光体与南社之间深层次的分歧。在诗学风格上,同光体诗人多关注诗歌的终极性关怀,而南社注重诗歌的当下性意义。在诗学理论思想上,同光体诗人则多倾向于以儒学经典为其诗学根柢,因而多尊孔,而南社内部宗唐诗人许多倾向于墨家思想。因而,在1917年,在新文化运动与张勋复辟等事件的影响下,南社内部的唐宋诗之争,由最初的诗学论争,逐渐演化为一场带有政治色彩的事件。

The debte focusing on Tang-Song poems was an argument that didn＇t have the result in ancient history of Chinese literary criticism. The debate inside South School in 1917 not only put an end to this argument but also threw a light on the great difference between Tongguang writing style and South School＇s poets. In poetic style, Tongguang writing style stressed ultimate concern while South School＇s poets paid attention to poetry＇s immediate significance. In poetic theory, Tongguang writing style stressed Confucianism while South School＇s poets suggested using Mo Jia＇s ideology. Therefore, under the influence of the New Culture Movement and Zhangxun＇s restoration, the debate gradually evolved into an event of political colouring.
