近现代报刊“洋题材”辞赋撰作考论

On the writing of Ci Fu with"foreign subject"in modern newspapers and periodicals

19世纪末20世纪初,服务于大众传播的现代报刊在国内兴起,不但刊发全球热点、新闻论评、社会万象,亦登载了不少辞赋撰作。相对于传统辞赋的书写题旨,近现代报刊所载辞赋已悄然发生变化,赋作者开始关注世界时局形势,不断描写新事物,传达新理念。而其中“洋题材”成为重要的书写范畴,尤以洋物、洋事、洋场为铺叙重点。具体而言,洋物赋表现域外新事物的输入与国人对外界的好奇;洋事赋书写对于域外文化(新观念)的他者想象;洋场赋则更多地描摹了外来生活方式的冲击。虽然这些“洋题材”辞赋在体式和艺术上未有创新,但在当时的社会语境下,却能让世人在比较中认识外界新事物,普及新知识,也逐渐培养起国人的现代意识,其社会价值和文献价值值得肯定。

Since modern times,modern newspapers and periodicals serving the mass communication have emerged in China,publishing not only global hot spots,news commentary and social phenomena,but also many poems and Ci Fu.Compared with the traditional writing theme,Ci Fu in modern newspapers and periodicals has changed quietly.The author of Ci Fu pays attention to the current situation of the world,constantly describes new things and conveys new ideas.Among them,“foreign subjects”has become an important category of writing,especially foreign objects,foreign things,foreign place for the narrative focus.Specifically,foreign objects of Ci Fu shows the input of foreign new thingsand Chinese people's curiosity of the outside world;foreign things of Ci Fu writing for the imagination of foreign culture(new ideas);Foreign place of Ci Fu more describes the impact of foreign lifestyle.Although these"foreign subjects"were not innovative in style and art,in the social tide at that time,they could make the world know new things and popularize new knowledge through comparison,also gradually cultivate the Chinese people's modern consciousness,its social value and document value are worth affirming.
