五四启蒙文学与民族文化传统

The May 4th Enlightenment Literature and the National Cultural Tradition

五四启蒙文学以激烈的反传统姿态登上历史舞台,有研究者将五四时期定义为"全面反传统"时期,认为五四启蒙文学与传统文化是"断裂的"。事实上,五四启蒙文学确实是以西方价值为参照系对民族文化传统进行了激烈批判,但批判背后的道德本体主义下的忧国忧民的承担,却是对民族文化传统的继承,并在此基础上实现了对传统文化某种程度上的超越。

The May 4th Literature appeared in history with its anti-tradition. Some researchers defined the May 4th period as a period of"comprehensive anti-tradition", believing that the May 4th Literature has nothing to do with the traditional culture. As a matter of fact, the May 4th Enlightenment Literature did make a fierce criticism of the national cultural tradition with the reference of Western values. However, the worrying about the country and the people under the moral ontology behind the criticism was the inheritance of the national cultural tradition, and on this basis, it realized the transcendence of the traditional culture to some extent.
