在贫穷的文学史面前——对文学史自以为是的历史质疑

在人类历史文化中，文学史也许是一种最不真诚的历史现象。它通过对文学观念的泛化理解，努力把人类历史上的诸多文化现象或样式纳入文学史范畴。从而营造出一个被充分“放大”了的繁荣的文学历史，给世人虚拟了一个辉煌的文学史形象。如果从读者的角度（亦即社会文学生活的角度）去认识文学的历史形象，则不难看出，在人类文学的绝大部分历史过程中，人们的文学生活是贫乏和萧条的，社会的文学资源也是短缺的。所以，我们的文学史应当把文学的历史真相告诉读者，而不应当遮遮掩掩或虚构繁荣的景象。

In the Face of the Impoverished History of Literature

It strives to incorporate every culture phenomenon into its range from understanding the literature concept extensively, thus it constructs a magnified prosperous literature history and imagine a brilliant appearance of literature history. If we try to know the historical image of literature from the view of the readers (It is the view of society and life)it's easy to see that the literature life and the resources of literature are poor and desolated during the most time of human beings literature history. So we must tell the readers the truth of the literature and cannot cover or frame the prosperous literature.
