体验:中国文学批评古今贯通的民族特点

Feeling: The Distinctive Characteristic of Chinese Literary Criticism from the Past to the Present

“体验”是古代中国人把握宇宙之道的特殊心理能力,受其启发,体验逐渐成为中国文学批评的基本方式,形成了古代文学批评超越外在形迹的描述,强调通过主体内在的心理体验抵达作品丰富意蕴的民族特点。体验作为传统批评基本特征,内在地制约着现代文学批评家的实践,并使汉语文化环境中的文学批评,具有了超越时代而贯通古今的一致性。

＂Feeling＂ is the special power of the ancient Chinese to understand the tao of nature psychologically. Gradually, ＂feeling＂ has become the basic mode of Chinese literary criticism. It goes beyond the delineation of the outer form of ancient Chinese literature, stressing that the rich meanings of a work should be reached by the critic＇s ＂feelings＂. As the basic feature of traditional criticism, it restricts the practice of modern literary critics inwardly, yet resulting in the consistency of literary criticism with its development in a Chinese cultural context.
