古代三峡地区民族精神与古代三峡本土文学

Ancient Three Gorges Regional Ethos and Ancient Three Gorges Local Literature

古代三峡地区本土文学的长期凋敝与本地区尚武、重商的民族特性有关。其民族精神特性中的尚武取向,赋予本地区本土文学崇高、悲壮或者悲苦的审美风格,这种风格并不兼容于华夏主流文学所崇尚的中和之美的审美倾向。本地民族精神中的重商特性,使人们更耽于世俗生活,从而导致本地区缺少培育具有超然审美情趣的文学家土壤。

In ancient Three Gorges Region, local literature＇ s barrenness was associated with its ethos of militarism and mereantilism. Its militarism endowed local literature with aesthetics of loftiness, solemnness and misery. This style was not in line with Chinese mainstream literary tenets of moderation and balance. Moreover, local residents＇ mercantilism makes them seek a secular life, which accounts for the lack of a soil nourishing literati with transcendental values.
