中国古代意象的发生和表现及其理论构成意义

The Creation,Expression and Theoretical Formation ofthe Ancient Chinese Imagery

中国古代意象论是中国古代文论和美学理论的基本范畴。意象的发生过程呈现出三个阶段:"意"与"象"分述的孕育期;刘勰"意象"论的萌发期;历代文论家阐发"意象"并使其理论化的发展期。"意象"一方面在文学作品中表现形式多种多样;另一方面其理论在"意"与"象"、"形"与"神"、"意"与"境"等二元互动关系中构成,赋予其文论内涵及其审美理论的意义。

The ancient Chinese 'imagery'is a basic category in ancient Chinese critical theory and aesthetics.The creation of 'imagery'goes through three processes:the respective gestation of 'meaning'and'image',the gestation of 'imagery',the theoretical formation and the development of 'imagery'by the critics of different dynasties.'Imagery',on one hand,presents colorful styles and expressive ways in the literary works,and on the other hand,as its theory is formed by the dynamic relationships between'meaning'and 'image','form'and'spirit',and'meaning'and'image',it embodies the critical theory connotation and aesthetical meaning.
