摘要
相较于自觉的、理智的研究,文学作品更能直接地反映精神生活和思想态度中的新趋向。此外,文学是精神史上一种宝贵资源,可以从中挖掘出某些容易被人忽视同时又让人萦绕于怀的情愫,这些情感并没有被那些官方的文化模型所认可,人们往往无法从非艺术语言中发现它们的踪迹。通过对清代袁枚《子不语》的文本分析,我们发现袁枚对儒家主导的传统宗教、宇宙秩序及历史概念提出了重要的挑战,从而表明文学材料可以为我们彰显对新儒家的道德解决方案的某些让人不满之处,也就是对新儒家正统理论关于宇宙秩序的官方概念的不满,这种彰显可以成为理解特定时期的某些被掩藏起来之侧面的一个重要的历史源泉,从而拓宽了自觉的、理智的研究的认知边界。
Literary works reflect new trends in mentality and attitudes more directly than conscious and rational elaborations. Moreover, literature is a precious source for the history of mentality, as it explores ignored and perturbing emotions, which are not recognized by official cultural models, and are of-ten removed from non-artistic language. Through the contextual analysis of Yuan Mei's Zibuyu, we single out Yuan Mei's challenge on traditional concepts of religion, cosmic order and history oriented by Confucianism. Therefore, literary materials are able to manifest certain dissatisfactions towards the moral solutions of Neo-Confucianism, its orthodoxy, the official concept of the cosmic order, and thus makes themselves an important kind of historical source to understand a period in its hidden aspects. Through this work, literary materials are able to broaden the cognitive frontiers of consciousness.
