文学史学的创建和文艺学的离合

The Foundation of the Theory of Literary History and the Distinction Between It and the Theory of Literature and Art

一百多年来丰富的中国文学史实践,催生着文学史学。文学史学反思和检讨文学史家的工作,总结文学史研究的发展历程,提炼有关文学史研究的原理性认识,是一门亟待建设和有发展前途的新学科。它与文学理论(亦称文艺学)有着天然而深刻的联系,又有着重要的区别。在互补互促的前提下各自分头发展,有利于这两门学科在当前条件下健康地成长壮大。

An abundant practice of over a century gives the birth of the theory of literary history, which, as a new, promising subject that need to be developing urgently, reflects on or checks up the work of literary scholars, summarizes the course of its development and distills its principles. There are both intrinsic connection and important distinction between it and the theory of literature （also called the theory of literature and art）. Their respective development on the premise of mutual complement and promotion will be benefit to the healthy growth of these two subjects under present circumstances.
