东汉文学思想史的几个理论问题

Some Theoretical Issues in the History of Eastern Han Literary Thought

东汉二百年间的文学思想的发展,走过了由政教附庸到独立自足的艰难历程。在这一演进过程中,新旧文学思想交错推衍,纠结前行,到东汉后期,文学终于坚定地走向了它自身。东汉文学发展史中的几个趋新的文学现象——理论阐述的文学思想与同时期文学创作倾向不完全同步,谶纬思潮对文学思想的影响,文学创作中越来越重视个人情志的抒发,以及逞才游艺的文学创作倾向,尤具重要的文学思想史意义。它们不仅是东汉文学思想史的重要理论内涵,也对整个中国文学思想史具有理论启示意义。

The development of literary thought during the two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty went through a difficult journey from dependence on politics and religion to independence and self-sufficiency.In the course of its evolution,the old and new literary thoughts were intertwined and deduced from one another,yet by the time of the late Eastern Han Dynasty,literature finally moved firmly towards independence.Several new literary phenomena during the development of Eastern Han Dynasty literary thought were particularly significant concerning the wider history of literary thought.These phenomena were:the inconsistency between the literary ideas in theories and the writing style of the period,the impact of divination combined with mystical Confucianist beliefs on literary thoughts,the expression of increasing emphasis on individual emotions in literary writing,as well as the writing style of flaunting and entertaining.They provided significant theoretical implications not only for the history of Eastern Han literary thought,but also the whole history of Chinese literary thought.
