从台阁体到复古派

台阁体指馆阁作家的文风，是以职缘论；茶陵派指李东阳提拔影响下的文人，是以人缘论；复古派指倡导诗文复古的作家，是以文学主张论。很多茶陵派作家供职于馆阁，因而可以说茶陵派文风是台阁体之一种；复古派中有很多人出于李东阳之门，因而又可以说复古派的文学主张为茶陵之别调。从台阁体到茶陵派再到复古派，文学思想在寻找着革新的道路，但始终未能创造出新变的奇迹。

From Officialese Style to Classicist School

The officialese style, a style of courtier writers, was developed by profession, whereas the Chaling school refered to those scholars influenced and promoted by Li Dongyang and the classicist school, meaning those writers advocating restoring the classic style in poetry writing, was defined by opinion about literature. However, since many Chaling writers served court offices, it follows to say that the style of the Chaling school was a kind of the officialese style. Similarly, since many classicists were pupils of Li Dongyang, it follows to say that the view about literature held by the classicist school was another interpretation of the view of the Chaling school. All of them, the officialese style, the Chaling school and the classicist school, tried to seek an innovative path for literary conception but failed to bring about a breakthrough in the literary world.
