袁宏道是晚明文学革新运动的领袖人物。以他为核心的公安派文人反对前后七子的复古主张,力主以心为师,“独抒性灵,不拘格套”的文学观念。他反对摹拟,主张通变,倡导诗文应求真求实,求趣求淡,力举通俗文学,推动晚明文学革新运动的高潮。 Yuan Hongdao was the leader of late Ming literature revolution. With his core police forces, the public opinion dissides the retro ideas of the former and the latter seven sons and advocates the literary concept of “heart-to-heart teacher,” “express one’s own spirits without any restrictions.” He objected to imitating, advocating Tonghua, advocating poetry should seek truth from facts, seek happiness from light, force popular literature, and promote the climax of literary reform movement in the late Ming.
