康熙时期古文选本与早期桐城文派关系考察

Study on the Relationship Between the Prose Anthology in Kangxi Period and That in Early Tongcheng Literary School

康熙时期古文选本与早期桐城文派的文学观念皆是特定文化背景下的产物,通过康熙时期古文选本与早期桐城文派关系考察可见二者存在相关性。桐城文派提炼完善了康熙选家的古文文体论,使古文定义趋于规范明确,试图改进古文选本编纂体例;桐城文派关于古文义理与艺术要素之关系的阐释倾向康熙古文选家的调和论,以义理为古文要旨,又认为义理与各艺术要素可兼容共存,反对以单一标准缩小古文的成长空间。二者的古文功用论如出一辙,都认为学习古文有益于时文写作,又于举业之外有更高的理想,指出学习古人文章是提高修养的关键所在。康熙时期古文选本体现的古文文体论、义理观、功用论是考察早期桐城文派文章思想形成的因素之一,显示出清初古文选本在选本发展史与文学思想史上的重要意义。
