中国古代文论中的“活法”论

The Flexible Principle of Literary Creation Revealed in the Chinese Ancient Literary Theory

我国古代文论中的活法论,其发展历程大致可划分为四个阶段,即宋代为发轫和展开期,元代为承传期,明代为深化期,清代为完善期。古代文论活法论的发展历程,鲜明地呈现出承传阐说和对法度之论不断消解的特征。本文拟就此问题试之。

The flexible principle of literary creation revealed in the Chinese ancient literary theory has gone through four stages: the Song Dynasty is the stage of emergence and development,the Yuan Dynasty is the stage of inheritance,the Ming Dynasty is the stage of further development and the Qing Dynasty is the stage of improvement.The development of such principle in the Chinese ancient literary theory vividly reveals the characteristics of inheritance and the gradual disintegration of established rules.
