The Thought Innovation of Ku-wen and its Literary Style Change in Early Epoch of Late Tang Dynasty——Focus on Li Shangyin and Liu Tui

晚唐前期的古文创作以李商隐和刘蜕的小品文为代表,其中渗透的是个人独立的思想、抨击时弊的勇气和艺术开拓的创造力,这也成为唐末小品文勃兴的先导。究其成功的经验,恰好与韩门弟子形成鲜明的对照,李翱等人亦步亦趋地模拟韩愈文章,而李商隐、刘蜕等人则能从中唐以来思想和艺术演变的大线索中汲取有益的营养,注目于学术思潮转型中的现实精神,发挥从元结到韩柳的小品文传统,不局限于韩文一隅,从而在文章中突出了自我的思想独见和艺术个性,开拓出古文创作的新境界,这种文体创新也一定程度上折射出我国古典散文艺术变革的基本规律。
