“诗缘情而绮靡”说的历代接受与误读

Acceptance and misunderstanding of the notion that beauty of poetry comes from emotion in history

陆机的“诗缘情而绮靡”说从诗歌的内质和形式两个方面强调了诗歌的个体抒情性和文体审美性,更准确地表述了诗歌的本质特征。这一诗说影响了六朝及以后的诗歌理论和创作。在历史的发展中,人们对这一诗说的接受与误读、欣赏与贬斥是并存的。但在明清两代,受时代语境所限,误读与贬斥之风犹为严重。然而,“诗缘情而绮靡”说作为中国古典诗学具有创意性的一个“新语”,其生命之树是长青的,陆机对中国诗学的贡献是任何人也无法磨灭的。

The notion that beauty of poetry comes from emotion put forward by Lu Ji emphasized the quality of expressing emotion and of appreciating beauty of poetry from both form and content,defining the nature of poetry.His view produced great influence on poetry theories and writing in the following dynasties while there were always different attitudes toward this viewpoint.Although the Ming and Qing Dynasties saw Lu's view seriously understood and even criticized,his view on poetry remains a creation for Chinese classic poetry,and his contribution will never be ignored.
