Literary Critical Theory Of Qian Zhongshu In "Dialogue" Context

The critic Qian Zhongshu and his critical texts are taken as investigation objects in the thesis, the reality of times and personal fortunes, the growing-up environment and subject conditions, longitudinal inheritance and latitudinal reference, creation influence and theoretical interaction and multiple factors are synthesized, a systematic study is made on the thought lines, academic origins, generation mechanism, theoretical connotations, system framework, theoretical personality and academic contributions and relevant issues concerning the literary critical theory of Qian Zhongshu.First of all, the whole evolvement process of Qian Zhongshu's literary critical thought from exploration and development to maturation are diachronically displayed, and in-depth discussion is made on the humanistic foundation to the formation of the thought from the perspective of originology; then the potential generation context of Qian Zhongshu's literary critical theory is further studied—"dialogue", and its multiple intrinsics and its inherent cultural intentions are revealed; then the logic structure and discourse paradigm are employed from the synchronic perspective, for delicate grooming and illustration of the theoretical concepts in some theoretical concepts of Qian Zhongshu's critical texts, and a complete and independent theoretical system of Qian Zhongshu is explored; finally, the theoretical personality and academic contributions of Qian Zhongshu's critical thought are objectively and comprehensively illustrated through multidimensional perspective observation and modern scrutinizing.The author considers that under the influence from the epoch atmosphere of integration of Chinese and foreign culture in the 20th century, double edification from the profound Qian's family"cultural community"and the Tsinghua university"cultural community"of Chinese and western meeting, and the special growing-up environment between father and uncle, all these external motives merge with the endowments of Qian Zhongshu, which bring up the aggressive but sophisticated critic Qian Zhongshu, and form the"dialogue"spirit with humanistic trend in his thought.This spirit penetrates all the critical works of Qian Zhongshu, in his critical world, the critical subject, creation subject and reception subject from different cultures in the discourse space with immense Chinese and western cultures, the free and equal"dialogue"is performed centering with the theme of"discourse art". As the"emcee", he communicates, compares, complements and reflects the basic spirit of"integrated observation"and the discourse principle of"harmonious but different", and elevates the literary critical theory with common sense of human being culture but without losing the originality on the basis of connecting the ancient and the contemporary, the Chinese and the western, the elegant and the vulgar, and the various territory boundaries between various subjects, various epochs, various styles and various schools, etc. From the perspective of operation mechanism, the theoretical generation in such"dialogue"is mainly undertaken from three levels: comparative mutual proof—integrated complementation—innovative transformation, the logic necessity from lower level to the higher level, and the perfect combination between the study paradigm of phenomenology and the study paradigm of logic is embodied.The modern theoretical system framework is hidden behind the randomness appearance of Qian's literary critical theory, the macroscopic"perimeter appreciation"on literature is hidden behind the microscopic phenomenon study, and the antinomy between random contingency and systematic theoretics, phenomena and logic is embodied. The literary critical activities are considered as its starting point and ending point, the literary ontology criticism, the literary text criticism and literary appreciation criticism, these four blocks are unified, and a broad and profound three-dimensional picture of literary critical theory system is dynamically displayed under the interactive reflections of taste and reality, microcosmic and macroscopic, sensibility and sense, subject and object.This"hidden"critical theory system is free, balanced, harmonious, interactive, open, and has exceeded the traditional intentions of authors, formalism and structuralism, reader construction and other unilateral critical theory, it has conquered the opposition between the internal study and external study, it's an integrated, comprehensive, and all-round theoretical study. It takes the actual life as the basis of study, with the basic objective of"mental wanderings", with the"deconstruction"as the external token, with the"circle"as the inherent essence of beauty, with both academic pursuit and personality poetics, with both humanistic concerns and aesthetics trend, with a mix of preciseness, sobriety and jocosity and rebellion, with the integration of profoundness and delicacy, an open and compatible academic bosom and verve is embodied, and an exploration on active humanistic spirit is also embodied; yearning freedom, respecting personality, upholding character, persisting in creation, equal participation, be neither humble nor pushy, with the unique individual spirit of Qian Zhongshu.Among the diversified and indiscriminate critical theory world, Qian Zhongshu digests the traditional Chinese literary critical theories and the western literary critical theories in a flexible and robust theoretical standpoint and study paradigm, both highlights the"lucky chance coincidence"between the heterogeneous theoretical discourses, constantly derives various theoretical nutritions, and pay attention to the employment and improvement of self creation; he has both eliminated the fences and gullies between different theories, and conquered the discourse dilemma between Chinese and western literary critical theories-"dialogue"difficulty, has realized the bidirectional elucidation of Chinese and western equality, meanwhile, he has constructed a set of literary critical theoretical system integrating traditional and modern, therefore, has obtained a brand-new surmount on a higher level. This study not only enriches and develops the Chinese and western literary critical theories with diversified surmount, but also changes the closed and single study paradigm of the traditional Chinese learning through individualized study demeanour and broad and compatible"big culture"study field of vision, and represents the major tendency of the academic research in the 21st century toward openness, multilaterality, and comprehensiveness. Therefore, it has significant revelations and references on the modern transformation of the Chinese literary critical theory and the contemporary academic research.
