用丑景也能创造出艺术美——从一句诗的评价析一条重要的艺术原则

Ugly Scenes Can Also Produce Artistic Beauty

王安石曾在《钟山即事》中将王籍的名句“鸟鸣山更幽”点化成“一鸟不鸣山更幽” ,为此 ,从古到今 ,不断有人讽其“点金成铁”。这里 ,涉及到一条重要的艺术原则。其实 ,作诗不是为了写景而写景 ,而是借景以传情怀 ,所以不论写出“鸟鸣山更幽”的清静优雅的美景 ,还是写出“一鸟不鸣山更幽”的死寒冷凄的丑景 ,只要能传达出相应的情怀 ,都应是好诗好句。王安石正是用后者 ,恰到好处地传达出了改革失败后 ,退居钟山 ,门可罗雀的失落感 ,因而是好诗好句 。

This essay, by analyzing a well_known line of WANG An_shis poem, argues that a poem does not describe the scene for its own sake but as an outlet of the emotion, therefore the transformed line by WANG is actually quite a success.
