文學史の視野のなかの「大學についての「語り」」

Abstract

The relationship between literary production and the education system is very close. Between modern universities in China and 20th century Chinese literature, there also exists a close connection. As to the positive interaction of university and literature, the central points we are considering in this paper are how the literary image of "campus life" has reflected the change of thought in that time, how it has enriched present actual campus life, and how this image has determined the direction of university development towards the future. We will consider these subjects under the following three headings. First, we will as examples take "Wei Cheng (Fortress Besieged) 圍城", in which Qian Zhongshu 錢鍾書 described "San-lu University 三閭大學", and "Wei-yang ge 未央歌", in which Lu Qiao 鹿橋 drew an image of "Southwest Associated University 西南聯合大學", as a means of investigating two different types of university images during the Sino-Japanese war. Secondly, "Yu Yongze 余永澤" in Yang Mo 楊沫's "Qing chun zhi ge (Song of Youth) 靑春之歌" had received much criticism in the 1950's-60's cultural context. In contrast, "Fu-xuan san-hua 負暄三話", written by Zhang Zhongxing 張中行, who is the model of "Yu Yongze 余永澤", earned a favorable reception during the 1980's-90's. That is to say, we will discuss a shift of ideology, as well as a change of university image. Thirdly, after Peking University's 100th anniversary, many "traditional university stories" appeared. Here we notice that the university images portrayed in such stories are not only rife with nostalgia, but also aim to consider new constructions of university history and intellectual atmosphere.
