산문 전통과 1930년대 학자산문 ― 周作人, 兪平伯, 廢名의 글쓰기를 중심으로

Abstract

This research examined the genealogical relation among ancient scholars' proses, targeting at the proses written by Zhou Zuoren(周作人), Yu Pingbo(兪平伯), and Fei Ming(廢名) in 1930s. It was in Qing Dynasty that the term of 'Scholar's Prose' was used to the full in contrast to 'Literary Prose' in ancient China. As bibliographical study, whose contents are the study on Chinese classics and history, rose after 17th century, it started that all of the historical and academic writing, against the literary prose like XiaoPinWen(小品文) or TongChengPai's prose(桐城派散文), was classified into scholar's prose. The biggest characteristic of the ancient scholar's prose can be summarized as ‘以學入文’ that writing(文章) is combined on the basis of learning, which is different from ‘以文入學’ that learning is combined on the basis of writing(文章). The proses written by Zhou Zuoren, Yu Pingbo, and Fei Ming in 1930s succeeded to the tradition of the ancient scholar's prose of ‘以學入文’. Based on the model of Six Dynasties Prose and Xueren-BiJi(學人筆記) in Qing Dynasty, they created a traditional, but new type of scholar's prose that pursued the combination of Writing(文), study(學), knowledge(知), and emotion(情). The important thing here is that their practice of writing didn't remain at personal new self-finding, but they contained the recognition of criticism against the tendency of the literary world that took the initiative at that time. It means that their attention to scholar's prose was originated from the criticism against the writing trend of Chinese intellectuals who were represented by TongChengPai(桐城派) and GuWen(古文). Through this, they intended to renew the characteristics of the literary world and to make the new writing climate based on knowledge and reason.
