论钱氏父子的骈文流变观

Qian and His Son's Concept on Parallel Prose

在《骈文通义·流变》和《上家大人论骈文流变书》中,钱基博和钱锺书对骈文的流变有比较深刻的认识,认为骈文在西汉初步形成,历经汉、六朝、唐宋明和清等几个阶段,每个阶段特点不同。骈文产生变化的原因与时代背景有关系,也与作家个人的"才力"、"才气"有关。

In General History of Parallel Prose and The View of Shangjia on Parallel Prose, Qian Jibo and his son Qian Zhongshu have a deep understanding of parallel prose. They think that the initial forma tion of parallel prose is in the Western Han Dynasty, and that it went through the Han, the Six Dynasties, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, which has its unique characteristics in each period. The change is due to the time and social background as well as the writers＇ skills and talents.
