揭傒斯散文简论

On JIE Xi-si's Prose

“元诗四大家”之一的揭斯,不仅是一代诗人,也是一代散文家,他的文名为诗名所掩盖,因而散文创作一直被后人忽视,成为揭氏研究的一个空白点。笔者初步探讨其散文,认为:一,揭斯散文的创作类型多样,内容丰赡,远非前人所评能够涵盖;二,揭氏散文有深广的忧患意识,同时又逸出儒家思想,有逍遥的自适情怀;三,揭氏散文有强大的艺术魅力,深深影响了元代的散文,而其创作中表现出来的尚古的文学观,则成为了明代以前后七子为代表的复古主义文学思潮的前响。

JIE Xi-si one of the 'Four Great Poets in yuan Dynasty',and is not only a poet but also a prosaic expert.His poetic fame is so widespread that his prosaic works are neglected and become a blank in the study of JEI Xi-si.The author preliminarily inquires into his prose and holds that:first,JIE Xi-si's prose is of various types with substatial contents,which are far beyond the previous evaluation;second,his prose shows deep consciousness of suffering and simultaneously shows self-enjoying sentiment and confucian thought;third,his prose has powerful artistic charm,and deeply affects the prose in yuan Dynasty and the literary concept shown in his works to favor the tradition,becomes the foresight of'seven Men'in Ming Dynasty advocting the doctrine of 'back to the ancients'.
