中国古代文学--明清文学

明清文学在整个中国古代文学史上占据非常重要的位置,这一时期文学的创作和发展都极具特点,作品数量也有很多,文人在社会经济、政治和文化背景下对人生的思考多用作品来表达。通过作品,我们不仅会看到创作者的思想还会看到整个社会的进步发展或者落后愚昧。明清时期的作品在不断更新中越来越注重“世俗”、“人文”化,同时创作形式从单一走向多元。这些发生在明清之际文学上的变迁让我们了解了明清文学发展的脉络,希望在日后的学习中我们都能阅读更多这一时期的文学作品并对其做出深刻思考和讨论。明清之际,我国产生了资本主义萌芽,经济对文化是有一定的促进性的,于是在文学上,明清文学也呈现出文学发展日益“世俗”、“人文”化。文学是为了满足人的一种审美需求的产物,不同出身不同阶级的人对文学的欣赏自然也是不同的。在明清之前,接触文学的人更多是权贵或者读书人,他们饮酒赋诗,点评文艺。而最广大的普通百姓是不懂何为作诗,何为写文的,什么李白杜甫与他们的生活无关,他们没有基础的文学素养怎么懂得这些“高雅”文学形式。所以,自明代开始,文学的发展不再局限于从前的古典文学形式,传奇、杂剧、小说,多种形式一起大放异彩。这些作品大多从百姓自身出发,写着形形色色的人。无论是汤显祖《牡丹亭》里杜丽娘对爱情的执着追求还是小说《水浒传》中的108位梁山好汉,这些人物都是当时那个广阔社会背景下血肉丰满的人,百姓通过听书或看戏等接触到了这些作品,他们的生活不再只有柴米油盐,多了几分趣味,多了几分意蕴。同时,正是因为这些作品深受百姓喜欢,文人也更愿意贴近民众生活,文学的发展更加世俗化,文学作品的内涵更加人文化。

Doyle modeled Holmes in part upon the idiosyncrasies of one of his medical school instructors, Dr. Joseph Bell; the literary structure, however, he borrowed from Edgar Allan Poe's stories of Auguste Dupin. The brilliant but eccentric detective, the admiring friend who narrates the story, the cases which are puzzling and fantastic as much as sensationally criminal, the dramatically revealed solution at the end; all these are elaborated from Poe's work
