dc.description.abstract | In this dissertation, I try to analyze the ”author” discourse in Wenxin Diaolong. Mainly review to the question about ” author” in this thesis. After Han dynasty, in classical literary criticism of Chinese, no matter what kinds of criticism manner, critics have paid attention to “author” on the whole. To guide the writing is the purpose of criticism, in order to train a good author. The Western literary criticism of the 18 , 19th century regards “author” as an important part in literary criticism too. But in the 20th century, the Western literary critics focus their work on analyzing and interpreting the meaning of the works, so they begin to challenge the tradition of “author centre” in literary criticism. During the decades, they develops and shape up discourses of anti “author centre” gradually.As contrast with Chinese classical literary criticism , the discourse will make us understand that the purpose of most Chinese classical literature critics is to comprehend the person of writing behind the works , works or the text are only tools, The goal of the Modern Western literary critics is to interpret the meanings of the works or the text ,“author” is certainly marginalized in literary criticism. But both Chinese and Western literary criticism , is neither concerned about the connotation of “author” and it’s related problems. So no matter object to the discourses of regarding author as the centre or support it , both should be based on their cognition of the “author”. Thus we can carry on the effective discussion .Although Wenxin Diaolong isn’t a treatise about “author”, but Liu Hsieh had expressed his cognition about the connotation of “author” and present his understanding of “author”’s related problems in his discourses. In this treatise, “author” means writer. And the basic seven conditions about it are “Cai”,”Qi”,”Xue”,”Xi”,”Si”,”Qing”,”Zhi”,they are included in “Xin”. “Si” is “Xin”’s thinking, “Qing” is “Xin”’s feeling, “Zhi” is “Xin”’s intention. The three dimensions interact, they are the basic functions of “Xin”. The rest four conditions decide the “author”’s ability of writing and the characters of works. Liu Hsieh had also paid attention to the relations between environments and “author”s, and discourse on how environments regard “author”. And further he described the ideal writing in his mind, it included paragon style type, the principles in writing and the psychoprocess in ideal writing.According to Wenxin Diaolong, we can realize the “author” had been clearly described and studied in classical literary criticism of Chinese. But the critics in the later period often discuss it from moral character, history research, style impressions, rarely from writing action. The discourse about the “author” in Wenxin Diaolong is quite deep and complete. Based on it, we can probably construc the “author discourse” in Chinese literary criticism. As contrast with the discourses of anti “author centre” in Modern Western literary criticism, it makes researcher realize the Chinese literary criticism is distinct from the Modern Western literary criticism in grounds and backgrounds. The ”author” discourse in Wenxin Diaolong can provides a different point of view from the discourses of anti “author centre” in Modern Western literary criticism in “author” problems. | en_US |
