论《诗经》女性形象的审美价值

On the Aesthetic Significance of the Female Figures in the Book of Songs

中国古代的正统文学里唯一让女性具有崇高地位并且一直唱主角的,就是《诗经》。《诗经》它集中体现了中国古代女性审美的初步诉求,而这种诉求残存着人类蛮荒时期对女性美的崇拜,使女性拥有更为广泛的活力与柔美。这种活力与柔美不仅来自于自然,而且来自女性本身。虽然它所经历的是西周初叶到春秋中叶,但是透过历史,单纯从女性角度出发,建构一个伟大的诗经时代,来诠释那个时代女性的姿本风貌以及对后人的影响。作者拟从《诗经》中的女性形体美、容貌情态等方面探讨古代女性的审美意识、审美标准以及对后代女性美的影响。

Of all ancient Chinese orthodox literary works, the Book of Songs is the only one in which women bear a high position and alwags play a leading role. The age of the Book of Songs was never a mere dynasty, for in that period the natural and healthy female beauty was seen everywhere and typically expressed the ancient Chinese women＇s initiative aesthetic pursuit. And in such a purstit human being＇s worship for female beauty in remote antiquity was left alive, which rendered women possessed of more vigor and gende beauty than men, which came not only from nature, a dense and graceful homeland, but from women themselves. Though the Book of Songs was produced between the early days of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the middle of the Spring and Autumn, we can still see through that period of history, start merely from the angle of women to conceive a great epoch of the Book of Songs and annotate women＇s charms, styles and features in that period, and their influences on later generations. The author intends to approach the ancient Chinese women＇s aesthetic mentality, aesthetic standards and aesthetic influence on later generations＇female beauty in respects such as female figure beauty, appearance, spirit, etc.
