林黛玉诗之“味”及其审美品格

The Flavor of Lin Dai-yu's Poetry and Its Aesthetic Quality

诗词曲赋是小说《红楼梦》的一个重要组成部分,它丰富了人物的性格,也推动着情节的发展。诗词融入情节,给叙事带来诗意;情节充满诗意,更增添小说的审美效果。林黛玉作为小说《红楼梦》中的典型人物,她的诗词真切地反映出她的审美品格。若从中国古代诗学中“味”的角度出发,可以品出黛玉的诗蕴含着美味、鲜味、奇味与苦涩之味;若从西方文论中接受美学的角度出发,这些诗词与宝黛之间恰好构成一个作者—作品—读者—世界这样一个施受自足的读者反映批评系统,宝黛的爱情,在这样一个系统中推向高潮,其悲剧也表现出独特的、诗化的意蕴。
