多年来,文艺批评陷入一个误区,难以自拔,那就是对“创新”的强调与夸大。好像一切“新”的,都是进步的,光明的,有无限前途的;一切“旧”的,都是落后的,腐朽的,要打倒和消灭的。破旧立新,成了文艺家最重要的任务。新旧之辨,也成了真伪之辨,美恶之辨,优劣之辨。 Over the years, literary criticism into a misunderstanding, it is difficult to extricate itself, that is, “innovation” emphasis and exaggeration. Like everything “new”, are progressive, bright, infinitely promising; everything “old” is backward, decadent, to be overthrown and eliminated. Shabby new, has become the most important task of literary artists. Differentiation between old and new, has become the authenticity of the distinction between the United States and Europe, the difference between good and bad.
