龚鹏程对《中国小说史略》批评之探析

A Probe into Gong Pengcheng's Criticism of A Brief History of Chinese Fiction

针对龚鹏程认为《中国小说史略》"切开了整体文学史,孤立地谈小说",比较意识也很薄弱,表现出鲁迅的知识结构存在缺陷,论文认为,鲁迅的小说史著述在知识结构上有缺陷是事实,这是由文献和精力不足造成的,鲁迅本人也在不断努力对之加以修订和完善。而规避中国小说的说唱传统,孤立地谈小说,则是因为鲁迅致力于撰写中国小说专史而有意为之的,并且与他的教学实际情况有关,并非单纯的知识结构缺陷。正视这些问题对全面客观地把握鲁迅的小说史观具有重要的意义。

In the view of Gong Pengcheng,there are some flaws in the knowledge structure of Lu Xun and some defects in the narrative method of his A Brief History of Chinese Fiction as well as a weak awareness of comparison due to its ＂discussion on fiction in isolation by fragmenting the entire literary history＂. This paper opines that there is no doubt about the flaws in the knowledge structure of Lu Xun＇s A Brief History of Chinese Fiction resultant from the shortage of relevant literatures and from anenergia of the author—Lu Xun—who did endeavor incessantly to revise and improve the book. The avoidance of the tradition of talking and singing in Chinese fiction and the discussion on fiction in isolation is because of Lu Xun＇s commitment to writing the specific history of Chinese fiction and is related to his actual teaching situation rather than the simple knowledge structure defect. A proper approach to the issue is of great significance for a comprehensive and objective understanding of Lu Xun＇s view in the history of Chinese fiction.
