经典重估

Reevaluation on Classics

文学经典不可或缺,但界定经典的标准又始终在变。而我们无论如何都无法想象没有屈原和李杜、罗贯中和曹雪芹、鲁郭茅和巴老曹的中华民族会是怎样的一个民族,更不能想象没有文学的生活会是怎样的一种生活。从"昔我往矣,杨柳依依;今我来思,雨雪霏霏"(《诗经》)到"落叶归根"的终极乡情,文学经典始终是维系民族情感、民族认同、国家意识和人们价值观、审美观的根本载体。同样,生命哲学的核心内容不仅是自觉,还有他觉。没有他觉,人就无法了解自己。重估经典并非"为赋新诗强作愁"的无病呻吟,它是时代的需要。

Classics are indispensible.However,the criterion of defining classics are changing all the time.By no means could we imagine what Chinese nation would be like if we have no Quyuan,Libai,Dufu,Cao Xueqin and other classic writers and what life would be without literature.From the Book of Poetry to contemporary nostalgia poems,literature classics has always been the fundamental carrier that not only maintains the national emotion,identity and consciousness,but also embodies the values and aesthetics of a country.Similarly,the core content of life philosophy is more than consciousness,and it also involves others' sense,without which people are incapable of understanding themselves.The reevaluation of classics is not an unnecessary moaning and groaning with an imaginary illness,it is the need of the time.
