三苏父子的“不能不为之为工”价值新解——兼谈巴金等人“作家要写自己熟悉的”观点

New Interpretation of Three Su's“Spontaneous Writing to Express One's Mind and Inspiration Well”——Talking about Ba Jin's Viewpoint of“Writing for the Sake of the Writer's Familiarity”

三苏父子提出的"不能不为之为工"的写作思想,目的是革除北宋初年"贵华贱实"的绮丽文风。它的提出,最为重要的是道出了"不能不为之"时写出来的文章价值:它是作者心灵积郁的抒发,往往闪现出某种思想的光辉。而作者要想写出"不能不为之"的作品,就必须写自己熟悉的生活。文章还以巴金、茅盾等文学大师的创作实践为例,论证了"不能不为之为工"的正确性。

The writing thought of ＂spontaneous writing to express one＇s mind and inspiration well＂ put forward by three Su＇s （Namely, Su Shi, Su Xun and Su Zhe） was to eliminate the euphuism of ＂the highly elaborate and artificial style of writing ＂ in the early Northern Song Dynasty. Most importantly, this idea ex- pressed the value of the works for the sake of ＂spontaneous writing of one＇s mind＂： it was the self expres- sion of the author＇s suppressed mind and spirit that flashed upon the mind frequently. For the writer, to pro- duce the works of ＂spontaneous writing of one＇s mind＂, he or she had to copy his or her own familiar life. The article proves the correctness of the ＂spontaneous writing to express one＇s mind and inspiration well＂ by citing many instances of creation from the masters in literature such as Ba Jin and Mao Dun.
