武则天与初唐文学--以制举、铨选为中心

Wu ZeTian and the Literature of the Early Tang Dynasty:Taking the Zhiju and Quanxuan Examination Systems as the Core

前人多关注武则天通过进士科对文学产生的影响,而忽视了其制举、铨选对文学的作用。其改制之前,制举和铨选在相当程度上都偏向于文学人才,这提高了文学的地位和影响力。特别是武则天曾对制举寄予了选拔经邦济世之才的希望,改制后又极力发挥制举试策咨询时政的作用,这又在社会上引起了畅言王霸大略的风气,促使了文人精神风貌的转变。武则天改制前后对科举进行了一系列改革,客观上抑制了藻丽文风的进一步发展,使之朝着简洁流利、富有气势的方向发展。

People paid more attention to the influence of Wu Zetian5s achievements on literature by imperial examination, but ignored her influence on literature by the zhiju and quanxuan examination systems. Before she became emperess, the zhiju and quanxuan examination systems tended to literary talents to a large extent, which enhanced the position and influence of literature. In particular, Wu Zetian had a great hope for zhiju, hoping to select the management of national talents. She vigorously played the zhiju role of political advice,which caused a talk about the political in the community,and prompted the scholar spirit to change. Wu Zetian carried out a series of reforms to the imperial examination, which objectively inhibited the further development of gorgeous style of literature, and made it simple and fluent, full of momentum. This was also a great contribution to her literature in the Tang Dynasty.
