道之文——论经学信仰与儒士对文道关系的理解

On the Belief in Classic Studies and the Confucian Scholars' Understanding of the Relationship between Writing and the Tao

在相当长的时间里,儒家"文以载道"的文学观念被视为经学"附庸"的典型而受到批判。今天,当我们换一种言说方式,经由经学信仰的视域透视儒家"载道"的文学观念时,我们可以洞见儒士的经学信仰在诗学层面得以显现的可能,并由此体悟历代儒士对"文"、"道"及其相互关系的差异性理解的原因。

For an enormous long period of time, the Confucian literary notion ＂that to write is to embody the Tao＂ has been subject to critique as the vassal of classic studies. At present, however, if we shift into another mode of speaking and survey this notion through the field of vision of the belief in classic studies, we will get an insight into the possibihty of its presentation at the level of poetry, and, therefore, comprehend the reason why there have been different understandings of writing and the Tao and the relationship between them in the past dynasties.
