文学史的短板——对中国文学史书写中文学性问题的考察

The Short Board of Literature History:an Analysis on the Problem of Literary Characteristic in the Writing of Literature History

中国的文学史学科百年来虽然经历过多次方向与风气的转变,但时至今日,科学性却依然是其追求的最高目标.追求科学当然是文学史无可推卸的责任,但因此而疏漏了文学史的本职——对文学作品艺术魅力的发掘与阐发,却不能不说是我们文学史的最大弊病.文学史要成为名副其实的"文学"史,必须对文学史的目的与任务、文学史研究与编写中的思与感的关系以及文学的本质与特性等问题作全面而深刻地反思.只有高度重视文学的审美特性,确立文学史书写的文学本位才能使文学史摆脱目前的困境.

Though the subject of Chinese literature history has experienced many changes of ethos and direction, whereas science still is its uppermost target up to today. It is necessary to make literature history scientific, but the biggest abuse of our literature history is that we neglect to illustrate the art charm of works. If we hope our literature history become genuine ‘literature＇ history, we must reflect such problems as the purpose and function of literature history, the relation of thought and sense in the compilation and investigation of literature history, the essence and characteristic of literature histon,. We may get rid of the trouble if aesthetic features are given attention and literature standard is established.
