胡适的自由思想与传记文学

Hu Shi's Free Thoughts and Biography Literature

胡适是20世纪中国传记文学最重要的开拓者,他强调传记文学既能"帮助人格的教育",又可以"给史家做材料",大力鼓动各色人杰写自传,推动中国传记文学的发展、繁荣,还创造性提出言行录是传记文学的重要体式。胡适大张旗鼓地提倡传记文学是基于自由思想,旨在形成发达的英雄崇拜风气,培养自由独立的人格。敢于承担责任和富于冒险进取的精神,做最孤立的也是最强力的人。

Hu Shi is the most important pioneer of the 20th century Chinese biography literature, stressing that biography literature can ＂help personality education＂ and may ＂provide his- torians with corpus＂. He encouraged the then talents to write autobiography and promote the development of Chinese biography literature, and argued that records of words and be- haviors are important style of this literary genre. It is held that his ideas are those of free- dom and heroism as well as free independent personality.
