两汉文学批评的文体特征

Stylistic Characteristics of Literary Criticism during the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties

两汉文学批评从文体形态上,出现了《诗大序》、《楚辞章句序》、《诗谱序》这样一批理论性强、观点鲜明的序文,还有像王充《论衡》的有关篇章及班固的《汉书.艺文志》等,都比较集中地论述了文学批评理论的问题,理论的表述不再停留在片言只语,不再全然依附于诸子散文,较之先秦零散的片断式的议论有了明显的进步,出现了单独成文甚至成书的可喜现象,具有了专题性、经学性、史传性特征。可以说,到了汉代中国文学批评才开始走向独立,有了属于自己的批评文体或言说方式。

The literary form of literary criticism during the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties has the characteristics of monographic study, Confucian study, historiography study. Therefore, we can say that literary criticism of China starts to move towards to be independent since the Han dynasty and has its own form of criticism or mode of talking.
