道忞文学批评思想摭论

On the Literary Criticism of Daomin

古文理论方面,道忞继承韩愈、柳宗元、欧阳修等唐宋古文家的传统,主张"文以明道",同时又强调文在情感、气势、组织结构、语言文字等方面的艺术特征。诗歌理论方面,道忞继承先秦以来儒家的"风雅传统",强调诗歌的政治教化功能,又别出心裁地提出诗歌"宣泄"理论,提倡"直写己衷,直抒己见"的自然创作论。整体思想倾向上,道忞是"三教合一"论者,而在文学思想上却表现出更为明显的儒学化倾向。

From the perspective of classic prose theories, Daomin inherits the tradition of ancient Chinese writers in Tang and Song Dynasty such as Hanyu, Liuzongyuan, Ouyangxiu. He stands for “Demonstrating Dao through Writing”and meanwhile emphasizes the artistic characteristics on emotions, momentum, structures and languages. From the perspective of poetic theories, having inherited the Confucian “traditional grace”dating back from Qing Dynasty, Daomin emphasizes the political enlightenment function of poetry. He also ingeniously puts forward the theory of catharsis in poetry, and advocates the theory of natural creation called “directly write your own opinions”. From the perspective of overall mindset, Daomin is a commentator of“combination of three religions”, however, from the perspective of literary thoughts, he manifests“the more obvious tendency of Confucianism”.
