摘　　要：唐宋以降,禅宗语录和儒家语录大行于世,流风所及,许多文士在古文写作中也自觉或不自觉地效仿语录形式,或者掺入语录中的常见用语。这种做法相当普遍,但也有不少反对的声音。迄至清代前中期,“语录不可阑入古文”成为一种集体认同。在此过程中,方苞个人思想和文学实践所起的推动作用不容忽视。这一古文观念对于端正学风、维护古文体性、推动清代古文发展起到了积极作用,但它有绝对化的倾向,因而又有其局限性。古文发展的事实证明,在合适的场合适当借鉴、采用语录形式,不仅不会伤害古文之体,相反会给古文的表达带来别样的趣味和效果。This study delves into the historical evolution of Zen and Confucian quotations from the Tang and Song Dynasties,examining their pervasive influence on literati who consciously or unconsciously incorporated the format of quotations into classical prose or mix the common expressions from the quotations.While this emulation was widespread,dissenting voices also emerged.By the early to mid-Qing dynasty,the idea that“quotations cannot be incorporated into classical prose”had become a collective consensus.This ideological shift was significantly shaped by the influential role of FANG Bao’s personal thoughts and literary practices.The resulting perspective on classical prose contributed positively to the refinement of scholarly styles,the preservation of classical prose integrity,and the advancement of classical prose in the Qing dynasty.However,it also manifested a proclivity towards absolutism,leading to inherent limitations.The historical trajectory of classical prose development attests that,within appropriate contexts,judiciously adopting quotation forms not only preserves the essence of classical prose but also introduces unique charm and expressive effects.
