义法说与清代的文学规训

Stylistic Regulation( Yi-Fa) Theory and the Regulating Power of Literature in the Qing Dynasty

义法说是桐城派理论的中心。义法说有三个理论向度:义与法、物与序共存;义理与事理同体共存与紧张消解;叙述与语言要求,从而具有了指向、引导、规训的作用。文学以其显性与隐性功能参与到思想秩序重建之中,义法说正是一种价值规训活动。"清真雅正"成为文体标准,起到规范文体和厘正文体的作用。方苞有着自觉的代言人意识,义法说是权力内在化的产物。

Stylistic Regulation(Yi-Fa)theory is the base of Tongcheng School,which has three theoretical dimensions.First,style and regulations,object and sequence coexist.Second,the principle of style and objects coexist with tensions mitigated.Third,narrative and language requirements coexist with directional,guiding and regulating effects.Literature participates in the reconstruction of order of thoughts with its implicit and explicit functions.Yi-Fa theory is a value-regulating activity.Simplicity,authenticity,elegance and moral integrity are the criteria for literary style,with regulating and correcting effects.Fang Bao acts as a representative consciously,with Yi-Fa theory as the product of his authority.
