文学史排斥旧体诗赋是一种文化偏见

Rejection of Classical Poetry is a Cultural Prejudice in Literary History

20世纪以来的传统诗赋创作,一直受到不公正待遇而被长期排除在中国现当代文学研究的主流叙述之外。文学史排斥旧体诗赋,乃是五四文化偏至思想的延续,是狭隘文学史观的反映,也是文学史家自信缺失的精神恐惧。在"五四"时期,新旧文学的对立自有其缘由;但在21世纪的当下,文学史家仍然持现代与传统、新与旧的二元对立认识,以直线进化论的思维来判断文学的价值,形成了以新旧划线、以语言的文言还是白话来取舍的文学史撰写,则是中国现当代文学史写作的悲哀。这种机械、片面、绝对的价值判断,对中国现代文学研究带来了难以估量的误读和误解,严重妨碍了对中国现当代文学作出正确、全面、辩证的价值认定。

Classical poetry since the 20th century has been rejected in literary history,which is a continuation of the partial idea of the May Fourth culture,a reflection of narrow literary perspective and also fear of self-confidence from literary historians.In the May Fourth Movement in 1919,there was reason for this,but now literary historians still hold a dualistic understanding of the modern with the traditional,new and old,which can be considered as a tragedy.This mechanic,partial and absolute judgment has brought immeasurable misreading and misunderstanding,a serious impediment to make the right of Chinese modern and contemporary literature.
