寻旧时的梦 造十字街头的塔——评刘绪源的《今文渊源》

Looking for Old Dream,Building a Tower at the Crossroad:On Lin Xuyuan′s The Head-Spring of Vemacular Prose

刘绪源的《今文渊源》承续了周作人对审美价值倚重的散文批评理论,他从"为文"和"为人"两方面对白话散文的源头进行了梳理,在"谈话风"中寻找"文人"和"文心"。因此,刘绪源对有"我"、有趣味的杂文的提倡,实际上是对"五四"文人生存样式的追寻。作为一种新的文学史范式,《今文渊源》呈现了刘绪源欲"以散文的形式表达学术思考"的努力;长期的编辑经验和儿童文学研究经验为他的"白话散文史"提供了一个独特的视角和书写方式。

Liu Xuyuan＇s The Head-Spring of Vernacular Prose, which inherits Zhou Zuoren＇s prose criticism of aesthetic value focus, has explored the origin of vernacular prose from two aspects of ＂literary＂ and ＂personality＂, and seeks the value of ＂writing for humanity＂ and ＂writing for mind＂. Therefore, Liu Xuyuan, as an advocate on essays with ＂I＂ or with interest, actually supports the pursuit of the life style of scholar in the period of ＂ The May 4th Movement ＂. As a new mode in literary history, in The Head-Spring of Vernacular Prose, Liu Xuyuan＇s endeavor on the thought of ＂to express aca- demic thinking by the style of prose＂ is expressed ; his long-term editing experience and profound foundation for child liter-ature provide a unique perspective and writing style for his ＂the history of vernacular prose＂.
