论新时代古文之兼美——以章太炎古文为例

On the Different Beauty of Ancient Chinese Writings in the New Era——A Case Study of Zhang Taiyan’s Ancient Proses

古文在新时代亟需寻找到生存发展的方向,既需要保留其原始艺术特色,又要紧密与时代结合。兼美即是兼采古代百家之法,融汇中外文化,如此古文在新时代才有生命力。章太炎古文虽宗法清代汉学考证,但兼得宋学之特色,他亦将西方文化理论融入古文,使其迸发出鲜明的时代气息,呈现出古今中外融为一体之势。章太炎将古文创作分为晦涩深奥的学术之文和通俗易懂的时代之文两大类,所以上能研讲学术,下能通达世俗,他并未因自己喜好来独作一家之文,而是适体而用,他的古文真正做到了兼美。以章太炎古文为例即是在证明其为兼美之范例,而兼美是新时代古文发展的佳径。

In the new era,ancient Chinese proses need finding the direction of survival and development,which not only need to retain its original artistic characteristics,but also need to be closely combined with the times.Possessing different kinds of beauty is to adopt the methods of hundred schools of thought in ancient times,and to integrate Chinese culture with foreign cultures,so that the ancient proses can have vitality in the new era.Though Zhang Taiyan's ancient prose was a textual research on the sinology of Qing dynasty with the patriarchal clan system,it had the characteristics of the Song school.He also integrated western culture theory into his ancient writings,giving off obvious times flavor,and thus presenting the integration of the ancient and the world.Zhang taiyan divided the ancient writings into two categories:the obscure and abstruse academic writings and the times proses that are popular and easy to understand.Therefore,he could study the academic writings on the top and reach the secular writings on the bottom,and he didn't create the unique proses according to his fancy,but adapt his thought to the appropriate form,and made his writings have all kinds of beauty.To take Zhang Taiyan's ancient prose as an example is to prove that it is an example of sharing different kinds of beauty,which is a good way for the development of ancient prose in the new era.
