姚永朴文论思想的师法与新变——以《国文学》和《文学研究法》为中心

Follows and Changes of the Literature Theory of YAO Yong-pu——Based on Ancient Literary Theory and Method of Literature Study

从桐城殿军姚永朴的两部文论著作《国文学》和《文学研究法》考察其文论思想在承续桐城派同时发生的新变,主要得出三个结论:从崇古文、抑骈文转变为主张诗赋一家、骈散同源;借助曾国藩的文论思想为过渡,将姚鼐关于文章风格的"阴阳刚柔"说扩充为内涵更为丰富的"文境"说;重点强调了先前桐城派所忽略的文章与时代的关系,提出文章要"切世"、"匡时"。

This article explores the development of ancient literature theory of Yao Yong-pu from Yao＇s two works on ancient liter- ature, of which one is Ancient Literary Theory and the other is Method of Literature Study. The three conclusions are as follows：he turned from praising prose and depreciating rhythmical prose to insisting that both the two have the same origin and that the poems and the descriptive prose share the same source. Based on the literature theory of Zeng Guo-fan, he tithed Yao Nai＇s theory of ＂Yin and Yang＂ on style by the theory of ＂context＂ with a variety of connotation. He attached importance to the relationship between the articles and the times which was neglected by Tongcheng School before, and put forward that the articles should be appropriate for the society and correct the times.
