《文心雕龙》“陶铸性情”的内涵考论

Discriminating the Connotation of “Cultivating Disposition” Theory of Wen Xin Diao Long

在被刘勰视为“文之枢纽”的首三篇中,同时出现了关于“性情”的集中论述,以“雕琢”、“陶铸”、“埏”等具体塑形的行为方式来征实“性情”的概念,意在将其定性、规范化.“性情”与“惰性”属于异文同义,偏指“情志”而非“天性”.以“陶铸性情”为对象,可以觇鉴刘勰“性情论”的丰富内涵:以老庄“埏器喻道”为统摄,以儒家“诗教规范”为实践,借“文质彬彬”期矫时文“淫丽烦滥”之弊.这不仅与刘勰“文本于道,稽于圣,宗于经”的精义宏旨相侔,而首被引入文学批评疆域.同时,被后世叠相沿引,或为“陶冶性情”,或为“陶冶性灵”,皆祖刘勰“陶铸性情”范式.

In the first three chapters that is regarded as the core of the article,Liu xie's focus on the discussion about disposition.The concept of disposition is explained by the way of shaping the form,which is designed to characterize and normalize the disposition.Disposition and emotion belong to different groups of words,but have the same meaning.It is more about emotion than nature.We can analyze the rich connotation of liu xie's theory of disposition by researching cultivating a person’s disposition:it is the center of Taoism ideology that it makes a vessel to metaphor philosophy,the theory of poem moralization is mode of realization,Liuxie hopes to correct the shortcomings of grandiose style by gentleman ship.It not only fits the theme of liu xie's thesis that the article is based on the tao and the classics,which is firstly introduced into literary criticism.It is also cited by later generations,"cultivating disposition”or“Cultivate the spirit”is derived from t disposition theory of Liuxie.
