荀子与儒家文论精神的再认识

The Recognition of XunZi and the Spirits of Confucian Literary Theories

儒家的文学理论是儒家思想文化中的精彩部分,在中国古代文学理论与文学批评中具有重要的地位。但在以往的儒家文论研究过程中,一般以孔孟为主体,这当然有相当的道理。但是作为中国古代完整的文学理论的思想体系,却是建立在荀学的基础之上的,作为原始儒家的孔孟文论与作为大一统封建社会的荀子学派的儒家文论精神并非是一个相同的概念,因此,对于儒家文论的真正版本与完整的理论体系,应当加以重新研究与重新认识。

The Confucian literary theories have quite important position in Chinese ancient literary theory receaches. While generally the receach are based on the theories of Confucius and Mencius, the whole system of Chinese ancient literary theories were virtually based on XunZi＇s theory. As original Confucian, the theories of Confucius and Mencius are different from Xunzi which was behalf of the ancient unified society, so it is necessary to recognite the real version and complete theory system of Confucian literary theories.
