“道”的文学与文学的“道”——“礼失求诸野”与中国文学载道传统之二(下)

Idea that Lost Courtesy Can Be Found among Commonalty and Tradition of Writings Being for Conveying Truth(Part Two)

中国古代文学无论个人抒情言志,还是对群体社会关怀,其优秀之作都是"载道""弘道"之作。中国古代文学所载之"道"与礼"义"同。中国古代"文以载道"传统始于孔子修《春秋》。自春秋时起礼之义先后以经史和文学形式在民间传播。历经坎坷而又矢志于道的知识分子继承并发扬了孔子修《春秋》的文以载道精神,创造出深受民众欢迎并对民众产生深远影响的小说典范作品。中国古代文化出现"史统散而小说兴"的历史新趋势。中国古代文学的发展规律对解决当代新媒体文学市场化庸俗化泡沫化倾向意义重大。
