从“重写文学史”到“古代散文史研究的反思”

文学史应该写什么在理论上并无分歧,还原历史与解释历史都在于说明文学史的基本规律。但在实践中,对文学史运行规律的探索仍然没有解决。古代散文史的研究亦然。除了习见的朴学、历史、美学或说逻辑、实证的研究之外,我们需要比较的研究,以在作家、作品、流派、风格等的纵向或横向的联系中看到文学同异的形态,以助对文学规律的理解。

From "Rewriting Literature History" to "The Introspection of Ancient Prose History Research"

Theoretically,there is no divergences on what should be recorded in literature history.Both restoring history and explaining it are aiming at illustrating the basic rules in literature history.However,in practice,exploring in these rules has not been solved yet and the research on Chinese ancient prose history still exists.Besides the research on history,aesthetics,logic and demonstration,we need comparison to find out similar or different modalities in various aspects of literature,such as writers,work,genre,and style,in order to help us understand the regularity in literature.
