欧阳修散文的镕裁艺术

On the Refinement in Ouyang Xiu's Prose

善于镕裁是欧阳修文备众体、各极其工的重要原因。立言不朽的创作思想使欧阳修在创作时始终保持审慎的态度,这种态度又使其特别强调镕裁,包括主旨大意的选炼、篇章结构的安排、字词句段的斟酌和内容详略的把握,欧阳修的散文也因此具有丰约中度、简著自然的审美风格,获得巨大的成功。

Good refinement is an important reason for the excellence of Ouyang Xiu’s works. The thought of immortal statement keeps ouyang Xiu in cautious attitude toward his creation, making him pay attention to such refinements as selection of gist and themes, textural framework, choice of words and sentences, as well as details and omissions of contents. It is due to this reason that Ouyang Xiu wrote many successful works in mild, natural, simple styles.
