摘要: 晚清“新小说”徘徊于新政制与旧道德之间,一直为史家认为是思想的局限制约了文学的变革。“告别革命”的今天重审之,新旧悖论多源于晚清作家道德理想主义的文学观照,暗含着对革命超越性的内省。“新小说”中革命的破坏美学经过新儒学的转化,由救亡与破坏的互资利用,转化为救亡与启蒙的相互促进,成为儒家救世美学新的表达。重估“新小说”儒家的、乌托邦式的超克,有助于发掘中国小说美学现代转型的独特贡献。

Abstract: The rise of the "New Novel" started the "revolution in the circle of fiction writing" in the late Qing Dynasty. In literary history, the New Novels have not been done justice for the traditional ethics shown in these works were in contradictory with the modern political system. However, it is undeniable that these works had left rather deep influence on Chinese ideology, politics and culture in the 20th century. From Kang Youwei to Liang Qichao, Chinese literature had witnessed a historical process from external transcendence (triggered by the import of exotic political and scientific culture) to immanent transcendence (aroused by the conscience of the Chinese and directed by their traditional view of the human world). Chinese literati in the late Qing Dynasty attempted to construct a culture beyond the boundaries of the East and West, which highlighted benevolent domination and pointed to conservative salvation for successors.

Key words: new novel, revolution, transcendence, salvation aesthetics
