“唯务折衷”是贯穿《文心雕龙》的思想方法之一,近年来,不断有学者由此入手,重新评价和认识《文心雕龙》。本文拟从刘勰与当时文坛主流的人际关系入手,考察这一思想形成的原因。本文认为,刘勰与当时领袖文坛之“时流”的距离,处于一种若即若离的边缘性微妙状态;而这种状态恰好将他置于南北思想文化的交汇点,使他既在主流之中,又出主流之外。换言之,他既能冷眼旁观,看到圈内弊端,自觉从北方思想文化中汲取养料,思想气质上尚北;又熟悉圈内风气,尊重南风劲吹、文尚新变所取得的成就,审美意识上宗南。所以,“唯务折衷”思想的背后是若即若离的人际关系在起作用 The “Service Compromise” is one of the ways of thinking that runs through Wen Xin Diao Long.
