《论语》文学经典化考论

On the Literary Classics of The Analects of Confucius

作为中国传统文化代表性论著的《论语》,既是思想经典,也是文学经典。《论语》之所以在20世纪初开始文学经典化的历程,既取决于《论语》本身固有的文学价值特性,"语录体"是其标志,同时也取决于历史发展所导致的观念变革与视角转换。质言之,是由于二者的交互作用建构了《论语》的文学经典"身份"。

As the representative works of Chinese traditional culture, The Analects of Confucius is both a philosophi- cal classic and a literary classic. The progress of literary canonization of The Analects of Confucius began in the early twentieth century, which depends on its intrinsic literary value, its symbol of quotation style and the change of con- cept and perspective transformation resulting from historical development. In other words, it is the interaction of both reasons that construct the literary classic ＂identity＂ of The Analects of Confucius.
