从传统美学看汉大赋之式微

Analyzing the Decline of the Han Da Fu from the Traditional Esthetics

作为汉代文学的一种重要的文学样式,汉大赋以其宏大的构架、靡丽的文辞、豪迈的笔调著称。然而,自西汉中后期起,甚至包括赋作家本身在内,对汉大赋一直是贬之者多,赞誉者少。人们普遍认为汉大赋的“少真而溢美”,是其作为“一代之文学”,既受讥遭贬于当时,又零落衰绝于后世的主要原因。但如果从中国传统美学崇尚简约之美和不加雕饰的“白贲”美的视角探究汉大赋衰微之因,会发现其中蕴含着丰富的文化意义。

As one important literature style of the Han Dynasty literature,the Han Da Fu is famous for its great framework,sumptuous language and heroic writing style.However,from Western Han Dynasty in later period,even writers of Fu always censured many to the Han Da Fu but little praise.The people generally think 'few reality but overmuch sumptuous language' in the Han Da Fu as 'a generation of literature' led to much criticism at that time,and even declined and faded later.But from the angle of Chinese traditional esthetics advocating simple and rustic,we can discover the rich cultural significance it contained.
