从曹植对民间文学的重视看其文学观

Cao Zhi's Outlook on Literature Judged from His Great Attention to Folklore

很多人都因为曹植曾经说过"辞赋小道"而认为曹植对文学的重要性没有足够的认识,但这种观点与曹植在创作上的成绩相矛盾。事实上,曹植很重视文学的,他十分重视民间文学,学习继承《诗经》、汉代乐府民歌等,正因为如此,他才取得了创作上的巨大成绩。本文拟从曹植的作品中所体现出对民间文学的学习继承,从而说明曹植对文学之重视。

It is generally held that Cao Zhi （192 -232）, as one of the poets in Three Kingdoms, had not attached enough importance to literature because he once said that ＂the writing of poems and essays is of small value＂. This general acknowledgement does not, however, match with his achievements in poetry creation. Thus the author of this article holds that Cao Zhi had, in deed, paid great attention to literature creation, especially to the study on such folklore masterpiece as Book of Songs and to the succession of the folk music from the Han Dynasty.
