“宗经”矫讹的《文心雕龙》——兼议“托古改制”思维模式

The Correction of "Zong Jing" in "Carving a Dragon at the Core of Literature"——On Ideological Model of Changing the Systems

南朝齐梁间,士族讹滥文风登峰造极,并危及政权稳定。寄望于王权起用的孤贫之士刘勰,必然对之深恶痛绝。儒经权威关于以"质"为主,"质"、"文"兼顾的主张,为刘勰矫讹翻浅提供了有力理论支撑;南齐王朝的频繁尊孔,也鼓励刘勰宗经矫讹。这种"托古改制"模式,虽然有其历史合理性,但也给《文心雕龙》带来许多历史局限。刘勰等古人"托古改制"的教训,对改革深化期的中国,也不无历史启迪。

At the period of Qi and Liang dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, the errors and abuses of the writing styles were very popular among the elites which influenced the stability of the superior power. This at-mosphere was detested by Liu Xie, who was born humbly. He based his correction theory on the Confucius＇ emphasis on ＂essence＂ and the combination of ＂essence＂ with ＂literature＂. At the time, Confucianism was popularly respected which encouraged Liu Xie to change the systems. Although this model of changing the sys-tems had its historical rationality, it limited the book Carving a Dragon at the Core of Literature from many as- pects which is a hint to present China.
