2、,表现在:在建安时代,北方比南方兴盛;在三国时代,魏比吴、蜀兴盛;在两晋时代,西晋比东晋兴盛;在南北朝时代,南朝比北朝兴盛。南北文风表现出鲜明地域性特点,大抵北方以刚健质朴为特色,南方则比较华美柔婉。第3页从整个文学史发展看,魏晋南北朝文学是上承先秦两汉、下启隋唐一个主要阶段。这种主要性不但在于作家空前增多、作品也空前增多,更主要还在于它已进入了文学自觉时代。(马 285-291)魏晋南北朝时期是文学自觉时代,也是我国文学史上一个承先启后、主要而必不可少阶段。假如没有魏晋南北朝文学自觉和独立,没有这四百年文学创作实践和文学理论积累,就不可能有唐代文学全方面繁荣。第4页Famous Litera
