从文化视野看,刘永济主张中西文化的融合;他以“参稽外籍”、“比附旧说”作为《文学论》的著述方略,即是这种文化视野的展现。从文学史视野看,刘永济虽然承认“感化之文”、“学识之文”都可以纳入文学之中,但更为重视“感化之文”。他对中国文学史上的浪漫时代和写实时代的确认,表明他对“感化文学”发展的历史确有深刻把握。从文学批评史视野看,《文学论》已初步确立中国文学批评史的核心理念与格局,对中国文学批评史学科的创建者郭绍虞产生过显著影响。 From the perspective of culture, Liu Yongji advocates the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. His writing strategy of “discussing foreign languages” and “more than adding old things” as his “literary theory” is a manifestation of this cultural vision. From the perspective of literary history, although Liu Yongji admitted that “probation ”, “knowledge of the article ” can be incorporated into the literature, but more emphasis on “probation of the text ”. His confirmation of the romantic era and the realistic era in the history of Chinese literature shows that he does have a profound grasp of the history of the development of “probationary literature.” From the perspective of literary criticism, “Literature Theory” has initially established the core concept and pattern of the history of Chinese literary criticism, and has had a significant impact on Guo Shaoyu, the founder of the history of Chinese literary criticism.
