违反常理的批判——刘再复彻底否定《水浒传》、《三国演义》究竟意欲何为?

What for to Deny Two Traditional Chinese Masterpieces?

刘再复先生违反一般常理,对春秋战国政治文化史和三国时代政治文化史进行曲解,否定代表中国文明的一大批经典著作,把中国古代文化史抹得一团漆黑;他硬说《水浒传》、《三国演义》统治中国人心,把中国人引向"地狱之门",以至于现在仍然生活在地狱之门;他批判否定夺取生辰纲的义举;他还认为五四新文化运动不该把孔夫子作为批判对象:这一切究竟是想说明什么问题?李劼在《论毛泽东现象的文化心理和历史成因》说,毛泽东"挟《水浒传》之风,怀《三国演义》之技","把梁山好汉的谈吐诠释成了马克思主义原理",这才明白原来刘再复是在借着文化批判之名替李劼的政治批判作阐释。

Mr. LIU Zai-fu acts against the common view of the academic circle and distorts the political and cultural history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the period of Three Kingdoms, denying a variety of classic Chinese literary works including ＂All Men Are Brothers＂ and ＂Romance of the Three Kingdoms＂ . He argues that the two masterpieces predominate the soul of Chinese people and lead Chinese people to the ＂door of hell＂ . What is his real intention？ This could be revealed from what LI Jie clamored in his paper ＂On Cultural Psychology and Historical Cause of Formation of MAO Ze-dong Phenomenon＂： MAO ＂resorts to the spirit of ＇All Men Are Brothers＇ and ＇Romance of the Three Kingdoms＇ and converts the rebels＇ talking into Marxist principle＂ . From this can we conclude that Mr. LIU Zai-fu is to speak in defense of LI Jie＇ s political animadversion by using cultural criticism as a pretext.
