摘要

陳衍《石遺室論文》是一本古文實際批評的著作，頗受學界看重，臺灣地區卻長期不得見。今見載於陳步編：《陳石遺集》、王水照編：《歷代文話》之中。本文依據此書論唐代古文的內容，分從文學原理、創作、實際批評等方面歸納討論陳衍的批評觀念。研究結果發現，陳衍肯定源自經書寫法的古文作品，重視結構的安排，主張寫景貼切而自然，反對太過庸俗、多對偶句。他主要是從思想淵源和文體角度評論古文家，對柳宗元、李翱的肯定較多，對於桐城派「揚韓抑柳」的作法表示不滿。這種實事求是的態度，逐篇細讀古文作品而後再下斷語，造成本書具有客觀而公正的特色。

Chen Yan's Shiyishi lunwen is a practical literary criticism on ancient prose, which is thought of considerably by academic circles, but absent in Taiwan region for a long time. As the latest edition by Chen Bu, his Chenshiyiji and Wang shui-zhao, his Lidaiwenxuan. This article, relying on Chen Bu's book of Tang Dynasty ancient prose, summarized the critical views presented by Chen Yan from his primary theory, creation theory to practical criticism. The research finds that Chen Yan affirms ancient prose which initially derives from Confucius classics, weighs upon the arrangement of structure, and proposes the authenticity and naturalness in portrayal; however, opposes excessive vulgarity and distich. Chen Yan fundamentally critiques ancient prose from its origin of the concept and literary genre perspective, and preferably asserts Liu Zongyuan and Li Ao, and for the Tong City with its method of Jack up Han Yu and Belittle Liu Zongyuan, expresses a disaffection. This kind of practical and realistic attitudes can be justified by means of close-textual reading from chapter to chapter, and renders the substantial and impartial characteristics for the book.
