“作文害道”是儒家学说吗?——“文以载道”再评价之四

Is“Literature Impairs Tao”a Confucian Proposition?—Re-Evaluation of“Literature Conveying Tao”:Ⅳ

“作文害道”说不是出自原儒的思想观点,它是宋理学家赘附于“文以载道”上的一种错误观念。“作文害道”说的概念雏形出现在《淮南子》的“灭文章”中,观念基础来自道家的“反文”思想。作为道德主义的宰制,“作文害道”说违背了文学的审美属性。

The proposition of“Literature Impairs Tao”is not essentially the Confucian,but an inappropriate understanding of“Literature Conveys Tao”from Confucians of the Song Dynasty.Actually,the concept has taken on the initial emergence in the Huainanzi and the basic idea from the Daoism.The proposition of“Literature Impairs Tao”not only benefits the moralism manipulation,but also does harm to the aesthetics of literature.
