摘要
中、西文献传统没有高下之分,只有特色不同。基于中西比较的视野考察中国古代文献,可以发现其历史特色主要体现在相互关联的三个方面:第一是具有独特的连续性内涵,其中最重要的是书写系统独一无二,文献书面语一以贯之,从而使文献成为文化连续的核心因素;第二是文献整体在各个方面保持稳定,始终遵循着其内在规律发展演化,反映出中国思想原则对文献发展的决定性影响;第三是“印刷资本主义”晚至近代方才出现,中国古代文献主要是以精英文献为主,通俗文献仅扮演沟通大小传统的角色,二者合力,加强了古代中国“古典共同体”的持续稳固。
There is no good or bad but only the different characteristics in Chinese and Western literature traditions. Based on the perspective of Chinese and Western comparisons, the historical uniqueness of ancient Chinese literature can be found to be mainly reflected in three aspects of interrelationship: the first is a unique continuity, the most important of which is that the writing system is unique and the written language is consistent, thus the literature has become the core factor of cultural continuity. The second is that the literature as a whole remains stable in all aspects, always follows its internal laws and evolves, reflecting the decisive influence of Chinese ideological principles on the development of the literature. The third is that “printing capitalism” is very late. The ancient Chinese literature was mainly based on the elite literature. The popular literature only played the role of communication between great and small traditions. The combination of the two is to continue and strengthen the classical community (dynasty) rather than the modern “imagined community” (national state).
