SANG Donghui

(Harbin Academy of Social Sciences，Harbin Heilongjiang 150010)

Abstract： In the retrospect of the debate between science and metaphysics, the bone of contention between the two focused majorly on the following three aspects as whether science had already “gone broke”, the relation between science and outlook of life, and the way-out of China. In accordance with the historical background of the debate and its focuses, it is not difficult to see the debate was in nature a Chinese reprint of the controversy between scientism and humanism in the west, and a conflict of viewpoint between radicalism and conservatism in China. The only way to a thorough settlement of the conflict and debate should be nothing but the fusion and compatibility between scientism and humanism.

Abstract： Liu Kai was the forerunner of ancient style prose in early Song dynasty while Ouyang Xiu, the representative personage of the ancient style prose although Song dynasty. They both had the experience of learning from Han Yu and thus being fundamentally influenced by Han in their literary theory. However, the former learned from Han but hadn’t obtained Han’s spirit, claiming that although ancient style prose “did not necessarily depend on obscure diction and abstruse words”, yet the complacent part was really its “obscure diction and abstruse words”, while his purport of “being dependently long or short in accordance with words” was just poles apart to Han's “both being suitable regardless of the length of words and the superiority of tones”, thus making his own works of ancient prose nearly intricate and obscure in style and making himself no function of promotion to the advance of the literary criticism in the Song dynasty. On the other hand, Ouyang Xiu learned from Han but never tried to be similar to him, having changed Han's “suiting words to the spirit of prose” into his own “being classical in words to faithful matters”, attaching great importance to “pithy style and logical structuring” in prose writing, probing diligently into the laws of prose writing, having opened a prevailing study of literary theories from then on, and led the ancient style prose in Song dynasty to a unassuming and natural path of development, which had been completely opposite to that with “obscure diction and abstruse words”.
