论宋代理学家的古文创作

宋代古文有着自身的时代特性 ,其基本的特征和观念 ,是“文以载道”的内在思想体现为文学复古的外在形式 ,实与理学诞生于同一种思想观念和文化氛围。理学家虽然重道轻文 ,但由于儒学的传统表现方式 ,理学家既认为“出于正”的文章是圣贤气象的体现 ,又借助古文的形式表达自己的思想。一方面 ,理学家的主理思想影响了古文家的观念 ;另一方面 ,理学家处于古文运动潮流之中 ,自亦受到古文家创作主张的潜移默化。因此 ,宋代理学家古文既具有自身的特色 ,又始终参与着整个宋代古文的进程

On Ancient Prose Creation of Confucians in the Song Dynasty

The prose in the Song Dynasty has a kind of characteristic of the time. This trait and its idea are to realize the external forms of literature returning to the ancients by the internal thought of writing for conveying truth. In fact, the prose originated from identical ideas and cultural atmosphere. Though scholars who researched Confucian school of idealist philosophy of the Song and Ming Dynasty concentrated their efforts only upon Dao(in Chinese) or doctrine to the neglect of the prose, they still thought that the prose from the tradition both realizes the sages' sense and expresses the thought of theirs by the ancient prose. On the one hand, the Confucians' thought influenced their ideas; on the other hand, they were involved in tidal trends of the movement of the ancient prose and were also unconsciously influenced by writing advocacy of the writers. Therefore, the ancient prose of the Confucians in the Song Dynasty had their own special characteristics and always had a hand in advancing process of the prose in the Song Dynasty.
