论道家文化对林语堂文学思想的影响

<title>Taoist Culture's Influences on Lin Yu-tang's Literary Ideas

道家文化对林语堂文学思想的影响非常深重,使他由早期的"文艺必谈政治"转为文艺必须"超政治"、"近人生",并建立了"幽默"、"闲适"、"性灵"论,追求道家美学的审美特质,如尚"自然"、主"真"、求"趣"等。林语堂的文学观点是中国道家美学与西方表现论"联姻"的产物。

<Abstrcat>Taoist culture deeply influences Lin Yu-tang's literary ideas. It changes his idea that'Literature should deal with politics'into the later idea that 'Literature should go beyond politics and should be close to life'.It helps establish his theory of 'humor',of 'being idle and relaxed',of'natural disposition and intelligence'.It makes him pursue Taoist aesthetic perspective such as 'nature','Being genuine'and 'Affection',etc.Lin Yu-tang's literary ideas derive from the 'marriage' between Chinese Taoist aesthetics and Western Expressionism.
