追寻文明的“新力”--晚清文明论潮流中的《摩罗诗力说》

In Pursuit of the“New Power”of Civilization:The Theory of Moro Poetic Power in the Trend of Civ ilization History in the Late Qing Dynasty

鲁迅早年推崇富有反抗精神的“摩罗诗人”,强调其诗歌力量对于复兴中国文明的意义。通过回顾古文明的兴衰史,鲁迅指出文明和野蛮存在复杂的辩证关系。不同于晚清学界对19世纪西方文明的简单崇拜,鲁迅认为野蛮蕴含着文明发生和发展的本源力量。受章太炎、尼采影响,鲁迅对文明和野蛮的关系作出了全新解释并彰显出野蛮作为“内在文明”的意义。鲁迅提倡的“摩罗诗力”深化了晚清尚力思潮,他的理想是借助“摩罗诗力”改造中国人的精神世界,使之恢复勇于战斗、进取的生机和活力,完成文明再造与民族革命的使命。

In his early years,Mr.Lu Xun respected the“Moro poet”for the purpose of resistance and struggle,and stressed the significance of his poetic power for the revival of the Chinese civilization.By reviewing the rise and fall history of the world's ancient civilization,Mr.Lu stressed that there was a complex dialectical relationship bet ween civilization and barbarism.Different from the simple worship of Western civilization in the 19th century in the academic circles of the late Qing Dynasty,Mr.Lu believed that barbarism contained the original power of the occurrence and development of civilization.Influenced by Zhang Taiyan and Nietzsche,Mr.Lu made a new explanation of the relationship between civilization and barbarism,and demonstrated the significance of barbarism as“internal civilization”.The“theory of poetic power”advocated by Mr.Lu deepened the ideological trend of advocating power in the late Qing Dynasty.His ideal is to use the“Moro poetic power”to transform the Chinese spiritual world,restore its vitality and vigor of daring to resist and forge ahead,and realize the mission of civilization reconstruction and national revolution.
