试论北宋思想文化演进对欧阳修文论的影响

Influence of the Development of Thought and Culture in Northern Song Dynasty on the Literary Theory of Ouyang Xiu

宋初的文化积累造就了庆历思想、政治、学术的新变,因陋守旧的士风一变而趋于激昂高扬。这种士风有时表现为强烈的政治参与意识,有时则转化为沉潜的道德坚持。欧阳修文论中对主体精神的高度关注,正是当时思想文化演进在文学中的体现。欧阳修和他的后学们在强调道德完成的同时,怀着对中国文学性文化传统的依恋,深入地体味并表现丰富多彩的现世生活与人生感受,这对于中国文化与文学的发展是意义深远的,其坚守文艺的意义是重要的。

The accumulation of culture in the early Song Dynasty brought about new changes in thought,politics and academy in Qingli period,with thriftiness and conservatism turning to enthusiasm and radicalism,which was represented sometimes as a great desire to take part in politics and sometimes as a profound persistence of morality.The great attention paid to the spirit of subjectivity in the literary theory of Ouyang Xiu was just the representation of the new changes of such thought and culture in literature,which was the key to understand the literary thought of Ouyang Xiu.In addition,Ouyang Xiu and his followers,from their love of Chinese literary and cultural tradition,deeply appreciated and expressed,besides the emphasis on morality,the colourful life and experience of that time,which is significant to the development of the Chinese culture and literature.What is significant is their persistence to literature.
