欧阳修的文学教育与宋代文学的发展

Mr. Ouyang Xiu’s Literature Education and the Literature Development in the Song Dynasty

本文从文学教育的角度探讨了欧阳修倡导的诗文革新取得成功的原因。欧阳修不仅提出了适合时代要求和体现新的审美追求的文学思想,以成功的创作实践为后学提供了范例,还从作家与创作两方面着力进行文学教育。他从塑造士人品格和精神境界入手,培养了关注现实、关心百事的新型文士,同时使以意为主、平易流畅的诗文新质获得广泛认同和接受;在欧阳修影响下成长起来的苏轼、曾巩等新一代文人继承和发展了欧阳修的文学思想和创作观念,最终确立了宋代文学的独特风貌。
