现代媒介与文体变革——以王韬报章政论文为核心探讨

Modern Media and Style Reform:Taking Wang Tao's Political Prose as an Example

传播媒介的变革在近代文体演变进程中起过重要作用。以王韬报章政论文体为例,它在适应日报这一现代媒介的过程中,为了使其文体走向市场、为大众所接受,形成了纪事述情、平易畅达、切实有用的报章体特点。这种报章体为维新派所普遍接受,在中国文学的文体发展史上有着划时代的意义。

The innovations in modern media are indispensible to the evolution of modern writing style.A good case in point is Wang Tao＇s political prose.In meeting the needs of the modern media（the daily newspaper in particular）,a very practical and reader-friendly narrative style took shape so that this kind of writing could make an easier access to the market and be accepted by the public.This kind of newspaper style was commonly accepted by the Reformists,thus constituting a landmark in the style evolution in the history of Chinese literature.
