My concept of criticism

I have a sense of facts

Wang Pengcheng

Literary criticism is a aesthetic experience and value judgment, "knowing many preferences, people should be rounded." So, what are the most critical of criticism of the elements? Learning, vision, or vision, method ...? The most important thing is the sense of facts -the presentation of the truth in artistic experience. As Gadamer said: The truth of art works is neither in isolation in the work, nor is it in isolation on the aesthetic subject, but exists in the past and present communication, and "constantly updated experienced experience "Real". It can be seen that the sense of facts is an invisible "soft ability", which is a very ordinary and rare criticism. But it is undoubtedly a living line for criticism, which is related to the credibility and effectiveness of criticism.

Without a sense of facts, criticism will "see the east, do not see the west wall; see the south, do not see the north." Criticism is a highly personalization of knowledge and thought, beauty and experience, facts and judgment integration. Structure and ability. The importance of learning profound, wide view, deep vision, etc. are self -evident. But these are not required, and cannot guarantee properly proper judgments. The reliability and effectiveness of criticism activities, in addition to the aesthetic experience based on these elements, the decisive factor is to be based on the sense of judgment. Tom Si Eliot once solemnly pointed out: "Critics must have a very highly developed sense of facts. This is by no means a trivial or common talent. One thing that needs to be cultivated for a long time. Its perfect development may mean the highest point of civilization. That is because there are so many facts that need to be grasped, and we have mastered the outermost facts and knowledge areas. And the outermost area we can control, surrounded by intoxicating fantasy in the more external fields. "Criticism is a comprehensive and comprehensive activity. Value scale and factual rationality formed from life experience. The formation of this sense of facts is long and difficult. In the face of human literary traditions and value experience, it is based on real life, and continues to adjust the running -in in the criticism of the subject's aesthetic experience, criticism and practice, and self -reflection, and finally form a stable and proper awareness and value level.

批评的事实感置身于人类的文学传统和价值经验之中，并在与现代审美经验的双向互动中“守故鼎新”，判断批评对象把握现实的宽广程度、深入本质的深刻程度，阐明它说The ability and the value of the "era" and the significance of "historical", and then reshape the tradition. In the moment we can only "see the feet", we need to find experience support and value support in the return of tradition and classic to get the criteria for capturing the key and indicating the key. This "return" will tell us: what is the lasting and excellent things in literature, and what can be "confident"; what is the meaning of a work, what kind of position should be placed in a place.

In a sense of facts, in the continuous return of literary traditions, exploring the logic of traditional development and the secrets of criticism of criticism; by examining the integrity of the text, it is of great significance Everything with the overall value is affirmed that the traditional "creation" of the traditional Canada is alone. The reliable value areas supported by facts, the sense of perception, reliable judgment, and stubborn pursuit of the sense of perception of the same critic, the melting casting as the perception of the melting casting — not being detained by theoretical, not being restricted by reality, not being restricted by reality It is not confused by phenomena, not blindfolded by factions, and can be performed with keen insight, deep analysis and clear explanation, and the true intention of perspective criticism. The world has established a connection to determine to what extent the development requirements of the art door category, and explore new clues and trends.

Literary criticism is a truthful activity that establishes liaison and gain meaning in the past and present. The facts have played a decisive role like a navigation label. The sense of facts is a reliable and effective condition for all criticism activities, and it is an outstanding talent that outstanding critics. It is also the only way for literary criticism to be vibrant and long -lasting. The article is published in "Southern Literature", 2017, No. 3

Critical Impression

Wang Pengcheng impression

Wang Binbin

It's a dozen before. Wang Pengcheng applied for my Ph.D., looking at the materials, "origin" is not very good. He has not studied undergraduate. He is a master's degree in graduation as a middle school teacher. But it is quite unusual to read the articles attached to the material. The text is calm and the discussion is solid, and the level is much higher than the master's degree graduates that are commonly seen. I was looking forward to waiting for the test results. As a result, his professional courses were eighty -five points, and were the first among the candidates who enrolled in my application, and English was three points. In those years, the difficulty of the English test papers enrolled by Nanjing University was famous. Many professional and good people have abandoned Nanjing University because of deterrent English. There are also many good professional people who have the courage to apply for Nanjing University and are finally planted in English. There are three points in English and cannot be accepted, but there are not many three points after all. In the second year, Peng Cheng applied for the exam again. The results are still eighty -five points in professional courses. The first place is still three points in English. This coincidence left a deep impression on me. I didn't dare to persuade him to take the test again. In the third year, Peng Cheng was admitted to other schools. In fact, if you strive for a look at the graduate school at that time, you can report to the Graduate School and ask for a break. I don't know why I didn't do it at the time. Over the years, I have regret it when I think of this.

Later, I have been paying attention to Pengcheng. Over the years, compared with some young talents, Peng Cheng's academic achievements have not been much. The reason is about two. First, there are a lot of trouble to cope with life and work, and the time for professional research is limited. Another reason is that the academic attitude is serious and not written easily. Although there are not many quantities, Peng Cheng's article is really "one is one". Each article has a certain amount. I have never seen Peng Cheng who has written that kind of frivolous and ridiculous. article.

The "correctness" of the value of value is a special place in Peng Cheng. Of course, I know that the value of value is difficult to distinguish between "correct" and "errors", so I add "correct" to the quotation marks. The so -called "correctness" refers to the basic value concept of Peng Cheng's abide by, which I agree with it, and what I think is correct. In literary research, value concept is important. In Chinese modern and contemporary literature research, value concept is particularly important. My so -called value is correct. It is nothing more than recognizing and respecting some common sense of human life. It is nothing more than manifested as a person with a normal mind and a conscience that an intellectual should have. Different values ​​will make a completely opposite judgment on a writer, a work, and a literary history. Over the years, under the leadership of modern and contemporary literature in China, some young people have worked hard to practice common sense and abandon conscience under the leadership of some middle -aged and elderly people. Obviously it is a worthless work. It is necessary to say that it has great meaning; it is clear that it is clear and clear, and it is necessary to bleak and make the water muddy. Peng Cheng has always maintained a sober mind and has not become one of these young people.

Pengcheng did not drive the fashion of "theory first". The so -called "theory first" is to hold a certain theory first, and then use this theory to set up literary works and literary phenomena, and use Chinese modern and contemporary literary works and literary phenomena to confirm that exotic theory. Over the years, in the Chinese modern and contemporary literature research community, many young people have embarked on the road of theoretical sets under the demonstration of some predecessors. Before studying any problem, there must be at least one theoretical in their hands. Sometimes hold a theory. There are theories in my hand. If you can't find the object that can be found for a while, you will also "pull the sword four and look at it." Where can I go to the mouth. Pengcheng did not embark on such a way. He has always been a problem. In the explanation of the problem in depth, of course, there will be theoretical intervention, but this is not the theory used in the hand to be used in hand, but it is reflected in the theoretical cultivation and theoretical vision of long -term reading and thinking. Essence

As a literary researcher, the quality of Pengcheng is very comprehensive. In the field of literary research, some people are good at collecting, researching, and research of information, and the judgment ability is obviously lacking. To allow him to interpret a aesthetic sense of a literary work, he will be at a loss. Some people have a strong aesthetic ability, and the data kung fu is not enough. To allow him to sort out a complicated literary history problem, he will be at a loss. The quality of Pengcheng is very good. Some of his articles focus on the test cables and analysis of the data, and some focus on the interpretation of the aesthetic value of the work. More often, Peng Cheng can integrate the explanation of data testing and the interpretation of aesthetic value.

As mentioned earlier, Peng Cheng's discussion language is flat, which is also valuable. I think that flat and accurate is the highest state of academic language. The language is flat and accurate, can integrate the evidence of the aesthetic interpretation, and the interpretation of the aesthetics of the aesthetics, which is slightly more than the justice, research and resignation of the ancients.

After graduating from the PhD, Pengcheng entered the post -doctoral mobile station of the Nanjing University School of Literature. "Contact the mentor" is me."Postdoctoral" cannot be called students, and "contact mentor" and "postdoctoral" are not teachers and students, but cooperative relationships.Therefore, Wang Pengcheng has never been my student.We have always been friends.The article is published in "Southern Literature", 2017, No. 3
