风恢恢而能远,流洋洋而不溢──刘勰的“对策写作论”及其对申论写作的启示

Wind blows far and extensive;water flows rapid but steady——On Liu Xie's "Theories of Pertinence Writing" and its Inspiration on Writing

“对策写作论”是《文心雕龙.议对》篇的一个重要内容。“风恢恢而能远,流洋洋而不溢”是刘勰对于“对策”写作的形象性描述,是“对策”在写作上的美学要求,它体现了《文心雕龙》始终强调的内容与形式完美结合的理论原则。这一个美学要求,既阐明了“对策”写作与一般议论文写作的区别,也阐明了“对策”写作与文学写作的根本区别,同时也给人们指出了提高“对策”写作能力和水平的根本途径。刘勰的“对策”写作理论,对于当今的申论写作仍有积极的理论指导意义。

＂Theories of Pertinence Writing＂ are an important content in ＂The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons ： Chapter of Pertinence Writing＂. ＂Wind blows far and extensive; water flows rapid but steady＂ is a visual description to ＂pertinence writing＂ by Liu Xie, which is also an aesthetic requirement to writing. It represents the theoretic principle of the combination of the form and the content emphasized by ＂The Literary MiTud and the Carving of Dragons＂. This aesthetic requirement not only describes the difference between ＂the pertinence writing＂ and the general argumentation writing, but also shows the basic difference between ＂the pertinence writing＂ and literary writing. Meanwhile, it also points out the basic route to increase the ability and level of ＂pertinence writing＂. Liu Xie＇s ＂theories of pertinence writing＂ are still of positively guiding significance to today＇s writing.
