论曾子文章的气势

On the force of compositions by Zengzi

文章气势是指文本的气质和声势,简称"文气",它是由自然天气、社会风气、作者内气、文意正气、文事元气、文序底气、文技运气和文辞声气等内外因素综合形成的动势。曾子很少专论"气"和"力",但他的文章却篇篇理直气壮,魅力四射。从气势的角度研究曾子文章,这是前人未曾做过的。

The literary force refers to the textual temperament and momentum,combining internal and external factors,such as natural weather,social atmosphere,author＇s inner feeling,literary righteousness,literary vitality,textual order,literary skills and tones.Zengzi seldom discusses the force,but his articles are straight,strong,charming and forceful.
