观象得意 比附成文——《易》学文化精神及其现代价值讨论之六

Observing Images to Deduce Connotation and Drawing Analogies to Make Composition-Discuss the cultural spirit and modern value in The Book of Changes

取象思维是《周易》中典型的思维方式,这种思维方式是指在思维过程中不离开物象而以想象为媒介直接比附推论出一个抽象事理的思维方法。材料型议论文(文字材料议论文、看图议论文)写作正是应用这种观"象"(文字之象、图形之象)得"意"(中心论点)的方法,发挥取象思维的发散性和联想性的特点来比附成文的。取象思维作为易学文化精神在现代思维方式中极具价值的部分,对材料型议论文的写作具有指导意义。

The thinking mode by adopting images is typical in The Book of Changes, which depends on images in the course of thinking, taking imagination as a medium and deducing an abstract conclusion by analogies. The material argumentation (argumentation based on written material, and argumentation based on pictures materials) writing adopts this approach to make compositions, that is, to observe images (image of character and images of figures) and, by developing the divergent and associative thinking, to deduce central idea. Thinking mode by adopting images is the extremely valuable part of cultural spirit of The Book of Changes adopted by modern thinking modes, and has an instructive significance to the writing of material argumentation.
