调和的尴尬——郭绍虞的“文以载道”论

An Impasse of Reconciliation in Guo Shaoyu's Theory “Writing as a Vehicle of Values”

郭绍虞建立了中国现代关于"文以载道"的基本研究模式,他划分的"文以贯道""文以载道"与"文以明道"的三分法,影响了几代学者的相关论述。但郭绍虞是用现代西方文学观念作为依据的,因而不能有效地揭示"文以载道"的本来含义,忽略了它在"杂文学"观念之下形成的事实及所蕴含的特色。所以,要正确地认识"文以载道"作为一种中国事实基础上形成的中国经验所抽象出来的中国古典知识形态的独特性,就得回到本体论的层面去分析它,认识它。

As the founder of the basic： research paradigm on ＂writing as a vehicle of values＂ in modern China, Guo Shaoyu established a tri-partite notion consisting of ＂writing to conform to values＂, ＂writing as a vehicle of values＂ and ＂writing to illustrate values＂, and this practice has influenced several generations of scholars. However, his approach, which draws heavily on western literary theory, cannot reveal the original meaning of ＂writing as a vehicle of values＂ due to its failure to consider its features and the fact that this notion came into being as a result of ＂literature miscellaneous＂. It is necessary to return to the notion on the ontological level so as to better understand the uniqueness of classical Chinese ideology resulting from China experience which, in turn, is made possible only by Chinese actualities.
