1931年黎锦明、徐霞村文学论争钩沉

An Investigation into the 1931 Literary Debate between Li Jinming and Xu Xiacun

1931年,黎锦明发表于《北平晨报》上的歌德纪念文章招致了匿名差评,黎锦明怀疑此事系徐霞村所为,双方由此展开了一场关于“文学创作”和“学术水平”的公开信论争。随着矛盾激化,论争主题由文学理念分歧转向对彼此的人身攻击。此次论争经过舆论发酵引发了不同阶层读者的关注与互动,同时也对双方的文学取向造成了深远影响。黎、徐论争的始末勾勒出近代中国“文学表达”与“报刊公开信”之间的互动图式,呈现了一个“作者、编者、读者”的报刊文学生态系统。

In 1931,Li Jinming’s commemorative article on Goethe,published in The Beiping Morning Post,received an anonymous negative review.Suspecting Xu Xiacun as the author of the critique,Li Jinming engaged in a public letter debate with Xu concerning“literary creation”and“academic standards.”As the conflict escalated,the debate shifted from differences in literary concepts to personal attacks.This dispute,amplified by public opinion,attracted the attention and interaction of readers from various social strata and significantly influenced the literary orientations of both parties.In essence,the Li-Xu debate delineates the dynamic interplay between“literary expression”and“open letters in newspapers”in modern China,illustrating a literary ecosystem involving writers,editors,and readers within the realm of the press.
