中国古典美学的现代性转换——从节奏论看宗白华美学思想

The Modern Change of Chinese Classic Aesthetics——the research of Zong Baihua's rhythm thought

宗白华的节奏论是建立在生命哲学基础之上的理论,是随着宗先生对生命本体理解的演进而逐渐形成的。它有三个来源:一是西方柏格森的生命美学,二是中国传统的周易生命哲学,三是同时代诗人为建构新诗的形式规范而对节奏进行的研究。这种节奏有其独特的审美内涵,生命力、内在律动和韵律是其主要的构成要素。宗先生用节奏重新阐释古典美学的核心范畴“气韵生动”和意境理论,实现了古典美学的现代性转换。宗白华的节奏论有广泛的诗学背景,体现出他对中国文化美丽精神的追怀和对处于多元文化格局中的世界文化的一份独特贡献。
