关于中国古代文学史写作的思考

A Consideration of the Writing of a History of Classical Chinese Literature

文学史的叙述原则是历史事实的外在性和客观性与历史理解的内在性和主观性的统一,并体现出特定的文学修辞性和意识形态性;文学史的主要叙述对象是文学作品;文学史的叙述方法要努力贯彻主体性、关联性和审美性的原则。因此,中国古代文学史的写作可以采用以文学自身审美风貌的转移为基本依据、兼顾政治兴衰与朝代更替的历史分期方法,及以历史演进为时间线索、以文体演变为空间场景来展开文学作品审美阐释的写作体例。

Under the principles of subjectivity, relativity and aestheticity, the narration of literary history pursues a harmony of externality and objectivity of historical facts and internality and subjectivity of historical understanding and an expression of literary rhetorics and literary ideology since what literary history describes are literary works. Therefore, the writing of Chinese literary history should base narration fundamentally on the shift of literary aesthetic tendency and meanwhile adopt a historical approach to dating political rise and dall and mutual replacement of different dynasties. In other words, arrangements of writing about the aesthetic interpretations of literary works should follow a historical evolution chronologically and shifts of literary writing styles spatially.
