《文心雕龙》文体论的文学理论意义

On the Literary Theoretical Significance of the Stylistic Theory in Carving Dragon with Mind

《文心雕龙》所论的是广义的文章,虽然其中很多文体至今已经消亡,其现实的理论意义并不大,但是整个文体论部分包含了许多文学理论,值得我们加以总结。这里论及四个方面:依书中的文体类分,可以看出刘勰的文学观念;书中对文体发展的描述,直接体现刘勰的文学史观;文体论中运用文体比较的方法,从中可以看出刘勰自觉的文体意识;全部文体论中贯穿刘勰文学功用的思想,它统摄在宗经观念之下,与《文心雕龙》全书的指导思想正相扣合。
