老舍对桐城派的继承与创新

Lao She's Inheritance and Innovation of the Tongcheng School

老舍的文学创作与桐城派有着深厚的渊源关系,桐城派所倡导的"义理、考据、辞章"文章要素在老舍的创作中都有所体现。老舍在继承并发扬了桐城派优秀传统的同时,还有意识地避免桐城派浮躁凌厉、机械僵化等毛病。在文学语言方面,老舍谙熟于桐城派的"质朴自然"、"格律声色"形式要求,创造性地提出了文学语言的生活化、口语化以及"清浅简练"、"音乐美"等主张。继承中有创造,这是老舍对待传统文化的根本态度。

There is deep relation between Lao-She＇ s literary writing and the Tongeheng school, and the essential article fac- tors advocated by the Tongcheng school, i.e. ＂righteousness principle＂, ＂textual criticism＂, and ＂rhetoric＂, are all manifested in Lao She＇ s creation. While Lao She inherited and developed the outstanding traditions of the Tongcheng school, he consciously avoided such shortcomings as impetuous swiftness and fierceness as well as mechanical stiffness. In terms of the literary language, Lao She knows well such formal requirements as plainness, naturalness and metrical voice. He creatively proposed that the literary language should be alive, colloquial, clear and succinct as well as full of musical beauty. Innovation in inheritance, that is Lao She＇ s fundamental attitude towards the traditional culture.
