钱玄同在清末白话文运动中的活动——兼谈清末的白话文运动与文学革命之关系

The Activities of Qian Xuantong in the Vernacular Movement at the End of the Qing Dynasty——With the Discussion of the Relationship between the Vernacular Movement at the End of the Qing Dynasty and the Literary Revolution

钱玄同是五四文学革命的重要成员之一,和其他文学革命的发起者一样,他也参与了清末的白话文运动;更为重要的是,作为语言文字学家,钱玄同将方言口语和古语勾连起来,为白话文学的存在找到了学理依据,提高了白话文的地位。他在清末所从事的这些文化学术活动,为他后来参加文学革命奠定了基础。这从一个侧面说明,清末的白话文运动是五四文学革命的前奏。

The same as the other initiators of the literary revolution,Qian Xuantong,one of the important members of the May 4th Movement, also took part in the vernacular movement at the end of tile Qing Dynasty. What＇ s more important is that, as a lingual-philologist,Qian Xuantong associated the dialectal oral language and ancient language which serves the vernacular literature as the theoretical base and improves the position of the vernacular language. These cultural and academic activities of him at the end of the Qing Dynasty paved the way for his later participating in the literary revolution. Therefore, it can be explained from another aspect that the vernacular movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty was the prelude of the May 4th literary revolution.
