晚清民初小说情理的把握方式与观念变迁

The handling of reason and emotion and conceptual change in novels of late Qing Dynasty

情、理这对文化情结浸染着浓郁的时代文化特质,从情理的基点切入生命本体,透视社会的大千人生,传统文化精神的人生向度替国人提供内心自省的机遇。传统的家国之思和儿女之情的对立流变,突破了中和之美的观念格局,呈现出以情显理、根情扬礼的近代审美取向。文化转型的阵痛因为感性的超越与理性的强化,形成晚清民初小说的情理统一趋势,生命本位价值的失落,加速了悲剧观念的本土化进程。

Deeply rooted in ideological and cultural background,novels are always the reflection of both society and writers' understanding of the world.The novelists in the Ming and the Qing Dynasties,by exposing the social malpractices,distinguished themselves in establishing a new relationship between reason and emotion.Under the influence of both Chinese and western enlightenment thoughts,there appeared the aesthetic tendency of revealing reason through the description of emotion,and advocating reason on the foundation of emotion.This new unity of reason and emotion also accelerated the localization of tragedy concept in China.
