林语堂是个颇为复杂的文化人。长期以来在我们的文学史上很少提及,即使提到,也仅仅是在《语丝》时期略提一笔。其实,他不仅文学创作颇丰,而且在文化理论建设和文化批评方面也颇有建树。他的“幽默文学”、“闲适小品”、“性灵文学”和“娓语笔调”等文学主张都是现代文学批评史上弥足珍贵的精神遗产。 Lin Yutang is a rather complicated culture. For a long time in our literary history rarely mentioned, even if mentioned, it is only in the “language silk” period a little. In fact, he is not only rich in literary creation, but also made achievements in cultural theory construction and cultural criticism. His literary ideas such as “humorous literature”, “leisure sketch”, “spiritual literature” and “style writing” are all precious spiritual heritage in the history of modern literary criticism.
