换一种思维看散文:用相似性给散文命名

新时期以来人们对散文的认识发生了很大的变化,有的提出大散文概念,有的认为散文就是美文,还有人把散文分为感性与知性,其实这些观点与传统的散文定义一样,都没有揭示散文的内在规定性,不可能据此建立散文创作理论。从思维的角度看散文,散文的内在规定性就在于相似思维。作者运用相似思维由此及彼,展开联想,感悟生活,发现真知,不断地刷新我们的思想,丰富我们的精神家园。

A New Look at Prose:Definition by Similarity

Since the new period,people's conception of prose has undergone great changes.Some scholars propose the big prose concept,some think the prose is the belles-lettres,and still others divide prose into emotional prose and factual prose.However,all these definitions do not touch on the intrinsic motivation and thus cannot establish a theory for prose writing.If considered in terms of thinking,the intrinsic motivation of prose lies in its similar thinking.Prose writers use similar thinking to move from one thing to another,make association,feel life,discover truth,renovate people's thought,and enrich their spirit.
