中国文学的民间阅读与批评

The Folk Reading and Criticism of Chinese Literature

在古代文学研究中,如果忽略了来自民间或底层的声音,对于提升研究的广度和深度都是非常不利的。通过现存的族谱、民间故事等资料,可以发现许多身处民间的普通人士关于中国古代作家及作品的评论或点评,其中不乏真知与灼见。这些出自民间的自发的文学点评,对于我们深入了解中国文学的阅读与传播过程,全面认识文学作品的意义与价值,具有非常特殊的意义。当然,由于这些资料本身具有比较突出的零散性、自发性等特点,必须对其进行必要的整理和辨析。

In the studies of ancient Chinese literature,it would be a misrepresentation and a tragedy if the voices from commoners of civil society were not taken into account.There are many commentaries,some of which contain great insight,of ancient Chinese writers and works by the common people hidden in extant materials such as family histories and folktales.These spontaneous literary commentaries from civil society have special significance for us to understand the learning and transmission process of Chinese literature,as well as the meaning and value of literary works.Collating and analyzing these materials are necessary because of their being scattered and unsystematized.
