论《西游记》400年经典化过程中的坐标轴

Coordinate Axes in 400-Year Canonization Course of Journey to the West

学术界还没人划分《西游记》400年被经典化史的几个阶段,于是有必要对此做尝试性的探讨。宏观来看,其经典化史分为三个大的阶段:第一次被经典化是明后期至晚清民国时期;第二次被经典化是1919至1978年期间;第三次完成经典化的时期是1979年至今。这三个阶段所形成的三个坐标轴,分别是胡适和鲁迅、毛泽东、袁行霈总主编的《中国文学史》第四卷及其第二版。

Based on the analysis of the 400 years＇ canonization of Journey to the West, this paper divides the historical course into three phases： Generally, the first phase is from late Ming dynasty to late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China; the second from 1919 to 1978 and the third lasts since 1979. Furthermore, the paper puts forward a new idea that there is a coordinate axis in each phase, which directs toward some central ＂person＂ or ＂works＂ respectively as followings： HU Shi and LU Xun in the first phase, MAO Ze -dong in the second phase and the fourth volume of A History of Chinese Literature chiefly edited by YUAN Xing - pei and its second version in the third phase.
