曾巩主要是文章家,其次是文学家——以曾巩作品中的“文章”和“文学”用词为证

ZENG GONG IS MAINLY AN ESSAYIST,FOLLOWED BY A WRITER——EVIDENCE FROM THE WRITINGS OF“ARTICLES”AND“LITERATURE”IN ZENG GONG’S WORKS

唐宋八大家之一曾巩的文字作品有《曾巩集》和《隆平集》两书:在这两书中,属于曾巩自用的“文章”一词80见,少数是广义的,多数是狭义的;“文学”一词33见,除特殊个例,皆为“杂文学”概念。相比之下,在曾巩文论中,“文章”的分量和地位比“文学”重得多、高得多。据此,对曾巩这位文章和文学的双创作家,其人文形象,总判断为文学家、散文家,是片面的;认定他主要是文章家,其次是文学家,才是正确的。

The writings of Zeng Gong of one of Tang Song Eight everyone had Zeng Gong gathers and the Long Ping gathers:Belonged to Zeng Gong to self-used among them of"article"seventy-nine times,the minority were broad senses of,majority were a narrow sense."Literature"thirty-three times,in addition to special the example is all"miscellaneous literature"concept.The contrast is for a while,in Zeng Gong's literary theory,the weight and status of"article"is much heavier and higher than that of"literature".Accordingly,for Zeng Gong,a double-creator of articles and literature,his humanistic image has always been judged as a writer and proser,which is one-sided;It is correct to identify him as a essayist mainly and a writer secondly.
