掩不住的历史光辉--论五四新文学与传统文学

五四新文学彻底的反传统立场并不意味着彻底地否定传统 ,历史的光辉是抹不掉也掩不住的 ,历史的连续性不可能由于反传统思想的冲击而断裂。无论从理论思维 ,还是就审美表现方式而言 ,五四文学都受到传统文学的深刻影响。长期以来 ,对传统的漠视不仅在五四新文学研究中存在 ,也是整个中国新文学研究中长期存在的重大问题。大多数时期的中国新文学研究是被西方的文学价值观和批评话语笼罩着。 2 0世纪的中国新文学研究几乎将西方的文论话语作为惟一的参照标准 ,这就不可避免地导致了诸多弊端 ,不但影响了中国新文学研究和理论建设 ,而且严重妨碍了新文学创作的发展进程。这一漠视文学传统的错误倾向必须纠正

Glittering Glory in History--On Chinese Traditional Literature and New Literature of the May 4th Movement of 1919

Wusi" new literature' position absolutely against tradition does not mean absolutely negating Chinese traditional literatures because the light of history can not be concealed or written off. The success of history can not be cut apart by the challenge of the idea against tradition, because "Wusi" new literature were deeply affected by Chinese traditional literature either in the way of thinking or in the techniques of aesthetic expression. The ignorance of Chinese traditional literature has been a serious problem not only in the study of "Wusi" literature but also in literature studies during the whole twentieth century. The study of Chinese new literature in most periods was so monopolized by western literature values and critic discourses that western theories almost became the unique critic discourses in Chinese literature studies during the twentieth century. It brought many shortcomings to the literature studies,hampered the construction of new Chinese literature, and also hindered the creation of new vernacular works. So the ignorance of traditional literature in Chinese literature studies must be abandoned.
