颜之推公文思想述评

The Interpretation of and Comment on Yan Zhitui's Thought of Documents

颜之推公文思想基于汉魏六朝公文文体大成的时代背景,其针对公文写作主体素养、公文文种流变、公文现实功用、公文文质关系的阐释颇为精当。颜之推重视公文立意的儒学传承,讲求通经致用,实现"务先王之道"之目标。针对"朝廷宪章,军旅誓诰"这些军政公文,颜之推以务实尚用的心态弘扬其施用多途的社会功能,并强调公文本质应是以义理意致为重点,主张文质兼取。

Yan Zhitui's Thought of documents was constructed on the basis of those during the Han-Wei and Six Dynasties when such writing was mature. He precisely interpreted factors like qualification of writers,style evolution,function,the relationship between form and content. He advocated that Confucian tradition should be the theme of a document so as to achieve its practical objective of working on the Emperor's instruction. As for political and military decrees,he adopted a pragmatic attitude,admitting their multi-purposed social function,and stressed the importance of the ideological content,while equally treating both the literary quality and content.
