论汉代的大一统观与汉赋包揽宇宙的快意

On the Influence of “Unifying the Country" on Poetic Prose in Han Dynasty

大一统观念深深地影响了汉赋作家的审美追求。汉赋在审美取向上追求大、奇、丽。为了达到这一目的,作家使用了虚构、想象、夸张、铺陈等手法。从美学的角度来看待大、奇、丽,则不能不承认它给读者带来的感官愉悦。这些美学追求与帝王的一尊和大一统的文化精神密切相关。这种“天人合一”观,直接影响了我国传统不同的写作理想追求,从理论上为传统写作的艺术相通铺平了道路。他们极力捕捉和表现现实中的重大物质对象,控引天地,错综古今,向人们展示更为宏大的、没有限制的想象世界,而这种审美取向追求以及方法的运用,都与大一统观念密切相关。

The idea of the whole empire under one ruler greatly influences writers of poetic proses in their aesthetic appreciation in Han Dynasty. Writers try to compose grand, fantastic and gorgeous poetic proses by using the artistic techniques of imagination and exaggeration. This aesthetic appreciation tendency is closely associated with the idea of unifying the country in Han Dynasty.
