古代作家艺术风格的前后期问题初探

A Primary Probe into both Earlier Stage and Later Stage of Artistic Styles of Ancient Writers

中国古代文学家创作风格呈现前后期之不同,其外在表现因人而异,但总的趋向是前期慷慨陈辞,直面苍生,而后期创作风格趋于深沉平淡,艺术性上大多较前期更臻完善精美。造成前后期风格不同的直接原因当属社会巨变及仕宦荣辱升迁,而其根本原因在于世界观、人生观、生活道路的变化。

Ancient writers assume different creative styles in earlier stage works and later stage ones. The reasons for that vary according to individuals. But a general tendency is that in earlier stage writers usually presented their views vehemently and faced the realities courageously, while in later stage the style tended to be undemonstrative and prosaic. The artistry of works is more exquisite and refined. The immediate reason for different styles in earlier stage and later stage is radical changes of society and official careers. A much more deep ?rooted reason is the change of worldview, outlook on life, and the way of living.
