Flowers and Fruits"——the Mature of the Theory of Literary Style and Trends in Dragon-carving and the Literary Mind

文质理论在先秦时期从孔子开始萌芽,由孟子、荀子继承,到两汉由司马迁、扬雄、班固等人推动,在南北朝时期成熟于刘勰的《文心雕龙》。刘勰以"时运交移,质文代变"表明了其文质历史发展观,以"文附质"与"质待文"体现了其对文质关系的深刻把握,以"衔华而佩实"、"藻耀而高翔"阐释了其心目中的完美作品。

The theory of literary styles and trends originated from Confucius in pre - Qin Dynasty, and inherited from Mencius and Xun Zi,were developed by Sima Qian, Yang Xiong, Bangu and others of the Han Dynasty, and finally perfected in Dragon -carving and the Literary Mind of Liu Xie. Liu Xie＇s concept of history development of the theory of literary style and trends is shown by “ the times alternate and change; the simplicity or ornateness of literary forms changes accordingly”, his profound grasp of relationship of literary styles and trends were revealed by “art depends on substance ” and “substance must be complemented by art”, and explained the perfect works of his mind by “（ a composition） bearing both flowers and fruits” and “（ a composition） both shines with rhetorical brilliance and soars high”.
