论八股文的程式化

八股文是一种程式化程度极强的考试文体。明清两代,从形式、写作内容及文章风格上都对八股作了严格的要求。八股文的程式化自有其历史的合理性、合逻辑性,这种标准化的考试文体不仅大大提高了考官的阅卷效率,而且直接影响了明清文人思想观念、价值体系、思维模式的建构与形成。但高度的程式化也限制了文人的创造力,八股文不可避免地随科举制度的结束走向了终结。

The stylized characteristic of the eight-legged essays have its own rationality and logicality, which raise efficiency in the course of marking examination papers, and work on the forming of the value system. But the stylized characteristic restricts the ingenuity, so the eight-legged essays go to death ultimately.
