晚清——民国社会文化转型期的诗歌样本——陈荣昌诗述论

Samples of poetry as the reflection of the characteristics of the socio-cultural transition:A study of Chen Rongchang's poetry in the late Qing dynasty

陈荣昌生活于中国社会文化剧烈震荡和历史性转折时期,其诗体现出"新旧杂陈、多声复义"的特点。面对西方文化咄咄逼人的态势,他坚持儒家思想的真理性和有效性。在应对内忧外患时,其诗的思想底色是爱国主义和民族主义。考察日本,敲破酣梦,激发愧励之思。在政权更迭之际,他以"大清之遗民,中国之良民"化解两难困境,最终达成公民身份认同。中国与西方、传统与现代、专制与共和、守节与顺世的纠缠和紧张正孕育着现代性思想萌芽,孕育着思想和文学突破的契机。这些因素使他的诗成为反映近代转型期诸多时代特征和精神特征的典型诗歌样本。

Chen Rongchang lived in a turbulent and transitional period of China,and his poetry had the features of the coexistence of new and traditional cultures as well as the plurality of voices.Facing the aggressive trend of western culture,he persisted in the truthfulness and effectiveness of Confu-cianism.Dealing with the domestic and international troubles,he expressed in his poetry his deep-rooted patriotism and nationalism.He was inspired by his investigating tour of Japan.And in the pe-riod of regime change,he achieved the citizenship eventually through identifying himself as an adher-ent of the Qing dynasty and a good citizen of China.The tangling tension between China and the West,tradition and modern,despotism and republic,faithfulness and adaption produced the early modern thought and opportunities of new literature.These factors made his poetry a typical reflection of the spirituality of the transitional period of early modern Chinese society.
