虎关师炼在《济北诗话》中称孔子为“诗人”删《诗》。其实孔子之时,并不是从文学角度看待《诗》的,而是从礼仪、政治、道德、修养等方面来看《诗》用《诗》的;孔子有“吾从周”之意,所以其删《诗》也当由此角度出发,而绝不是以“诗人”的眼光来删《诗》。虎关师炼之所以有此言论,当与其社会发展的特性、当时的社会思潮与政治形势和教育制度有关联,当然也不可排除文学理论与批评传统的影响。 Tiger Guan Shi Lian in “Ji’nan Poetry” said Confucius as “poet ” delete “poem”. In fact, when Confucius was not Confucianism, “poetry” was not viewed from the literary point of view, but from the aspects of manners, politics, morality and accomplishment. , So the deletion of “poem” should also be based on this point of view, but by no means “poet ” point of view to delete “poem.” The reason why there is such a remark in Tiger Guan Shi Lian does not, of course, rule out the influence of literary theory and criticism tradition when it is related to the characteristics of its social development, the current social trend of thought and the political situation and education system.
