初唐史家的文学伦理学批评

Criticism of Historians in Early Tang Dynasty on Literary Ethics

与艺术批评相对应,文学伦理学批评是对文学创作进行伦理和道德的考察,对文学所描写种种善恶现象和思想旨趣进行历史的阐释,并以特定的价值观为准绳作出现实的评判。初唐史家在江左余习甚浓的时代,从作品、作家、社会风俗、道德旨向等层面对前朝文学进行了伦理学批评,指出了南朝以来文学伦理价值的缺失,在强调文学的社会责任、道德义务的基础上同样也尊重和提倡文学的艺术价值,为此后的文学发展包括涵养波澜壮阔的盛唐之音创设了宏阔的生长空间。

Different from art criticism,criticism of literary ethics means the moral and ethical exploration of literary creation and the historic interpretation of the good and evil and ideological purpose in the literature,trying to make a realistic judgment while taking certain values as the criteria. Historians of early Tang Dynasty morally criticized the writings of its pre- dynasty in the aspects of text,writer,social customs and moral purpose and pointed out that moral values were absent in the literature since Nan Dynasty. They stressed respecting and advocating the artistic value of literature on the basis of social responsibility and moral duty,as created much room for the later development of literature.
