论钱玄同的“白话体文学说”

钱玄同采梁启超、章太炎、胡适、陈独秀诸家之长,倡言“白话体文学说”,并以“古今一体,言文合一”立论,主张“古人用古语,今人用今语”,为白话文学提供了科学和历史的根据。此说推动了胡适倡导的白话文学理论体系的最后完成;摧毁了古文偶像,宣告桐城文派为谬种,选学文派为妖孽;并以此为起点,“白话体文学说”开始付诸实践。

ON QIAN XUANTONG'S VERNACULAR LITERATURE THEORY

By incorporating the strong points of Liang Qichao, Zhang Taiyan, Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu, advocating"vernacular literature theory"and the "combination between classic and vernacular", and up- holding the idea that "the ancient Chinese used the classic form and the modern Chinese adopt the vernacular", Qian Xuantong provided vernacular literature theory with a scientific and historical basis. His theory promoted the completion of the theoretical system of vernacular literature put forward by Hu Shi, destroyed the idol of classic Chinese, and regarded Tongcheng School as fallacy and Xuanxue School as evil. This was the starting point from which vernacular literature theory transformed itself from theoreti- cal discussion to practice.
