魏晋文学理论发展述略

魏晋南北朝时期是文学的"自觉时代",这时,文学意识日趋明确,文学在社会意识形态领域中已取得独立的地位和价值,这时期是文学观念从模糊到比较明确和自觉的时期,也是我国古代文学理论发展的转型期。而魏晋时期的文学理论,可以说是实现这个转型的过渡阶段。曹丕的《典论·论文》开创了文学批评的新风气;陆机的《文赋》是文学创作理论专著;阮籍的《乐论》、嵇康的《声无哀乐论》是音乐理论;挚虞、李充、葛洪等的文学思想也都具有鲜明的时代特色和文艺主张。深入研究这个历史时期文学理论的发展,对认识我国古代文学理论发展的来龙去脉具有重要意义。

A Brief Account of the Development of the Literary Theory in the Wei and Jin Dynasties

The period of the Wei, the Jin, the Northern and Southern Dynasties is an "age of self-consciousness" for literature with its independence and value in the domain of social ideology.

The works of Cao Pi, Lu Ji, Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Zhi Yu, Li Chong and Ge Hong, which center either on literary criticism, literary creation or music theory, have their own ideas and epochal traits. The study of the development of the literary theory in this period will have great significance to a better understanding of the general trend of the literary theory in ancient China
