“关于儿童的论文的变相”——周作人《儿童杂事诗》论略

The Disguised Form of A Paper on Children——Introduction to Zhou Zuoren’s Children’s Miscellaneous Poems

周作人的《儿童杂事诗》作为“变相的儿童的论文”,既强调他一贯所认为的关于人性的见解,发出“天赋之性灵”的呐喊,又着重表现出儿童本位的主张,为儿童的天性自由发展而高唱颂歌;既强调儿童文学应当具有改变社会的力量,积极促进社会的发展,又始终认为儿童文学的真正发展与其他人文社会科学的研究与进步互相影响。作为“以七言四句,歌咏风俗人情”的72首儿童杂体诗,其所具有的自然冲淡的风格气象,隽永蕴藉的人生趣味以及雅致和谐的美感意象,鲜明地体现出诗人的审美追求。

Zhou Zuoren’s 72 poems from Children’s Miscellaneous Poems are regarded as“disguised children’s paper”, which not only emphasizes what he has always believed about human nature and the spirit of talent, but also emphasizes the expression of children’s standards and the free development of children’s nature. It emphasizes that children’s literature should have the power to change society and actively promote the development of society. At the same time, it always believes that the real development of children’s literature and the research and progress of other humanities and social sciences have an impact on each other. As a miscellaneous poem with seven words and four sentences, it has a natural, meaningful life interest, and an elegant and harmonious aesthetic image, which vividly reflects the poet’s aesthetic pursuit.
