民国新文学史家笔下的桐城古文
The Tongcheng School of Ancient-Style Prose in the Writings of Literary Historians of the Republic of China
摘要
Abstract
Following the May Fourth New Culture Movement,the advocates of new literature began to gain significant influ-ence both in literary theory and creative practice.To further advance the construction of new literature and secure its position in literary history,new literary historians and critics,represented by figures such as Hu Shi and Li Yiming,undertook the task of deconstructing the authority of traditional literature and establishing the legitimacy of new literature as the mainstream.As one of the most influential schools of traditional Chinese literature during the Qing Dynasty,the Tongcheng School of Ancient-Style Prose was depicted by these historians as a literary tradition incapable of meeting the demands of the modern era,and its presence in works of literary history gradually diminished.Lin Shu,famed for his groundbreaking efforts in translating foreign novels into clas-sical Chinese,was also closely associated with the Tongcheng School by these literary historians and became a central target of critique.These deliberate efforts not only enabled the ascendancy of new literature over traditional forms,positioning it as the dominant narrative in modern Chinese literary history,but also largely obscured the actual achievements of traditional literature during the Republican period(1911-1949).关键词
