唐代民族文学研究初探

New Approaches to the National Literature Research of the Tang Dynasty

唐代文学是中国古典文学的高峰,唐代民族关系是中国民族史上荣耀的时期,但相比其他时段,唐代民族文学却并没有一种主体性的地位,相关研究也处于极不相称的状态。造成上述问题的原因,一方面在于文学观念的僵化和滞后,而另一个重要原因则在于文学史料的匮乏。就前者而言,解决的一个途径是回到历史语境之中,持一种"了解之同情"来对待唐代的民族文学现象,向着内部开掘;就后者而言,充分运用新史料,开拓民族文学的外围空间,是一种可行的方案。

Literature of the Tang Dynasty marks the peak of Chinese classical literature and a glorious period of ethnic relations in Chinese history, but the identity of national literature in Tang dynasty, compared with other periods, has not been established yet, and related research has lagged behind which stems from the rigidity and the lag of literary ideas as well as the lack of historical materials. An approach to the former is to go back to the historical context and investi- gate the phenomena of national literature during the Tang Dynasty with ＂an understanding of sympathy＂ and approach to the latter is to make full use of the new historical materials to explore the external space of national literature.
