刘半农、钱玄同、周作人等在评述旧体文学如旧诗、旧剧时往往将话说得很满,其实他们内心深处未必真正认同自己公开发表的那些言论。新文学取得文坛主流地位之后,能否转而以一种宽容平和的姿态来重新审视昔日的对手?研究并不等于欣赏,也不等于提倡,因此对现代旧体文学的创作和研究不必过于“警惕”。 Liu Bannong, Qian Xuan Tong, and Zhou Zuoren often comment on old-style literature such as old poems and old dramas. In fact, they may not really agree with what they say in public. After gaining the literary status of the mainstream literature, can the New Literature turn to reconsider the old adversaries in a tolerant and concise manner? Research does not mean appreciating or promoting, so writing and researching of modern literary form need not be too “ alert”.
