论“一代有一代之文学”——兼论中国古代文学的发展出路

On "a Dynasty Having Its Representative Forms of Literature"——On the Development of the Ancient Chinese Literature

"一代有一代之文学"的观念自王国维提出以来,对20世纪中国文学史建构产生了重要的影响,成为一种最具权威性、最具影响力的学说,许多文学史都以该命题为依据编写了文学史,在中国文学史建构中贡献极大,但是其局限性日益明显,造成了极大的负面影响,使中国文学研究陷入了狭隘、保守的泥潭中,造成了中国文学研究的片面性和机械性,因此重新审视这一命题的不足,跳出这一命题的束缚,对寻找到中国古代文学的出路意义重大、显得极为迫切和重要。

Since the idea, a dynasty having its representative forms of literature, has put forward by Wang Guowei, it has a significant impact on the construction of Chinese literary history of 20th century. It has become the most authoritative and influential theory. Many Literary histories bare been edited base on this theme. It contributed a lot to the construction of literary history, but its limitations become increasingly apparent, causing a great negative impact on the Chinese literary studies into a narrow, conservative quagmire, causing the one- sidedness and machinery of Chinese literary studies. Therefore, itg necessary to re -examine the shortcomings of this proposition, try to get rid of the shackles of the proposition of ancient Chinese literature, which is extremely urgent and important to find the way out for the ancient Chinese literature.
