觉世与救心:梁启超清末戏曲改良及其“过渡”性质

清代末年所处的19世纪末20世纪初,既是中国由传统的封建社会向近现代社会转型的一个重要历史阶段,也是中国文学乃至中国文化发生重大转型的历史转折期,而梁启超无疑是这一历史时段中最具代表性的人物。作为中国近代文学革新运动的领袖,梁启超参与、主导了近代诗界革命、小说界革命和文界革命。在戏曲创作领域,梁启超对清末戏曲的改良工作也有独特的贡献。尽管从创作水准上讲,梁启超清末戏曲改良并无过高的文学成就,但是,作为近代中国新旧两个世界转型的时代产物,以梁启超为代表的清末戏曲改良的历史功绩是不容抹杀的,其标举的觉世、救心的戏曲宗旨代表了近代中国反帝反封建的时代强音,它的新旧交织、中西杂糅的过渡性质,也为中国戏曲(戏剧)的近现代转型铺平了道路。
