中国古代文学思想的几个特点

文学理论总是打上本民族价值观念的深深烙痕，与作为文学第一要素的本民族的语言文字的特性也有密切联系。近代中国知识分子，在向西方寻求真理过程中，从西方借取了文学理论的术语和观念，建立起文学理论的体系，推进了学术的进展，但同时却在古代和现代文论间造成断裂。在当今世界文化的交流、融合与竞争中，回顾古代文论的民族特色，促进今天文学理论的民族化，是不应被忽视的课题。本文在这方面做了一些初步的思考，尝试提出三点，借以引发更深入的讨论。

Some Features of Ancient Chinese Literary Thought

Literary theories are always stamped with the marked brand of national value concepts and closely related with the national language. While modern Chinese intellectuals have, in the course of seeking truth from the West, borrowed from the West technical terms and literary theory concepts, establishing some literary theory systems and promoting the academic development, they have meanwhile brought about a discontinuity between ancient and modern literary theories. In the current context of exchange, merging and competition among global cultures, due attention should be paid to reviewing the national features of ancient literary theories so as to highlight the national features of modern literary theories. This paper attempts to probe into the issue and puts forth some tentative proposals for further study.
