摘　　要：以"通俗"起家的文学巨树,分成俗文学与雅文学两个枝杈。俗文学经流变发展形成四大子系:通俗文学、民间文学、曲艺文学及现代化音像传媒中属于大众通俗文艺的部分。要将雅俗文学作精确的分界是很难的。我们认为,在古代可定义它们为"雅文学"与"俗文学";在现代文学时段中,则可定义为"知识精英文学"和"大众通俗文学"。目前,因循文化市场的规律,两个文学分支渐有靠拢的趋向,甚而你中有我,我中有你,"适俗"但不"媚俗"。这一文学现象的出现将给广大读者带来很大的收益。It is common to interpret 'tongsu' (meaning, popular or common) literature as two parts: folk literature and refined literature. Folk literature then broke up into four kinds of literature with the passage of time: popular literature, folk literature, vernacular arts literature, and modern audio and video products under the category of popular art form. It is difficult to make a hairline distinction between refined and folk literature. Since literary historians divided it as such so most of contemporary scholars agreed to divide 'tongsu' literature into 'intellectualelite literature' and 'masspopular literature' in order to reflect the contemporary aesthetic taste. Based upon the cultural market law and pattern, these two literary forms are gradually swinging back to the middle and making the merging inevitable. The guiding principle is to create literary or art form suitable to the vast majority of audience rather than playing to the gallery. The new trend of combining the elite and the popular will benefit all of the reader.
