《诗经》时序主题的文化内涵及原型价值

Cultural Intension of the Time-sequenced Theme of <Shijing> (<The Book of Songs>). and Its Prototype Value

上古时期农事与祭礼都有很强的季节性,特定季节中的物候和仪式景观标示着相应的心理、情感和观念。《诗经》时序类主题即是此种对应关系的歌咏。这是中国古典诗歌时序主题的源头。时序主题歌谣中形成的特定物候、仪式与某种基于时序的心理意识的隐喻关系,促成古典诗歌意境的生成,因而具有重要的原型价值。

In ancient times, farm work and sacrificial ritual activities were emphatically seasonal. The phe-nological phenomena and ritual scenes of a particular season mark the corresponding mentality, feeling and concept of the people. The time-sequenced theme of <The Book of Songs> is the very singing of such corresponding relations. It is the fountainhead of the time-sequenced themes in Chinese classic poems. The metaphorical relation of the particular phenological phenomena and ceremonies formed in songs with time-sequenced themes and certain time-sequence based mentality helps to bring a-bout the artistic conception of Chinese classic poems. Hence it possesses a prototype value.
