略论颜之推的和谐文论思想

On the Harmonious Literary Theory of Yan Zhi-tui

北齐颜之推并非如其他文论家一样只执其一端,忽视其他。而是既指出差异,又注重统一,表现出和谐进步的文论思想。在本质论上,既强调文学的政治教化功能,又兼顾"缘情"娱乐功能;在创作论上,既主张以质为主,又要求文质并重;在鉴赏论上,则尊重南北审美差异和南北批评标准的不同。其中,鉴赏中的南北审美差异性是颜之推的全新发现,具有开山意义。

Yan Zhi-tui, a literary theorist of the Northern Qi Dynasty, attached importance to difference and unification so he set up the harmonious literary theory. He emphasized the literary function of moralization and gave attention to its effect of amusement. He regarded the content as the most important aspect and gave the second place to the form. He respected the aesthetic difference and diverse value standards in the north and the south, with the former one being entirely invented by him and having great significance in Chinese literary history.
