《催醒术》:1909年发表的"狂人日记"--兼谈"名报人"陈景韩在早期启蒙时段的文学成就

陈景韩主编的<新新小说>以"新新不已"为追求目标,不赞成梁启超的改良立宪模式,而要利用小说的社会作用建立一种"侠主义"."侠主义"有三个层次的含义第一层次为设立一种无视当时政府的权力系统,第二层次是介绍外国的革命精神、反抗侵略与压迫的精神,第三个层次是传统的"劫富济贫".1909年10月,陈景韩与包天笑共同主编的<小说时报>创刊号的首篇是陈景韩的<催醒术>,与鲁迅的<狂人日记>相比虽然有很大差距,但这篇小说表明了陈景韩的思想站在时代的前列.我们应该承认,中国的"狂人世家"是有一个发展谱系的,同时应该认识到,中国文学的现代化进程早在19世纪与20世纪之交就开始了,陈景韩的作品可以为证.从<新新小说>到<小说时报>,陈景韩对中国文学的现代化作出了贡献.

"The Way of Awakening" :A Lunatic's Diary Published in 1909--Also Reviewing Chen Jinghan's Literary Achievement

The New Neo-novel, with Chen Jinghan as the chief editor,aiming at "the newest forever", disapproved Liang Qichao's reformed monarchial model and intended to use the social functions of novels to establish a "Xiaism", which firstly involves a power system that defies the then government; secondly introduces the foreign revolutionary spirit, and the spirit of anti-invasion and anti-oppression; thirdly advocates the traditional "robbing of the rich to help the poor". In October, 1909,Novel Times co-edited by Chen Jinghan and Bao Tianxiao published Chen Jinghan's "The Way of Awakening" as the first item in the first issue. "The Way of Awakening" could hardly be compared to Lu Xun'sA Lunatic's Diary, yet it clearly indicates that Chen was a forerunner among the then Chinese thinking circle. We should admit that China's "lunatic family" had its own pedigree; but we should also realize that the modernization of Chinese literary began early at the turn of the century, which was proved by Chen's works. From theNew Neo-novel toNovel Times, Chen Jinghan made his due contribution to the modernization of Chinese literature.
