英文摘要 | Tongbian concerns the dialectics of tradition and change or of convention and innovation. First made prominent by Liu Xie 劉勰 (c. 465-522) in his Wenxin diaolong 文心雕龍 (The Uterary Mind and the Carving of Dragons), and further developed by Ye Xie 葉燮 (1627 -1703) in the Qing Dynasty, the concept is based primarily on the Yijing (Book of Changes). While advocating a return to the sources of the classical canon, Liu nevertheless insists that writers assert their originality by adapting to changing situations. In his Yuanshi 原詩 (1627-1703) (On Poetry) Ye Xie weaned himself from undue emphasis on tradition and looked at the old and the new with equal eyes. To him the familiar and the fresh alternate just as the Russian formalists consider “top” and “bottom” elements in a literary trend go through a cyclic change. Among those prominent literary theorists in the West who view the concept dialectically, we may single out Coleridge, Eliot, the Russian Formalists (such as Tynjanov and Jakobson). and Harold Bloom. Coleridge considered the imaginative faculty capable of reconciling opposites. including novelty /freshness with the old/the familiar, so that the creative mind is pulled by both centripetal and centrifugal forces. Eliot advocated the “historical sense,” which implies a simultaneous order of the whole of tradition and new creations. The Russian formalists saw literary change as an incessant alternation between automatized and deautomatized devices. Bloom viewed tradition pragmatically, considering that its usefulness lies mainly in challenging or blocking the creative mind to live out its “anxiety of influence.” A comparison of their views reveals that Liu Xie’s views are similar to Eliot's, Ye Xie’s close to Coleridge’s and the formalists', and Bloom’s at the further end asserting that tradition serves only to challenge and stimulate creativity. Generally, those who hold dialectical views of tradition and change see that familiarity breeds freshness, and freshness reveals familiarity: the two evolve in a moving equilibrium. |
