刘勰虚静说溯源

On the Origination of Aesthetical Whisht Theory in Wenxindiaolong

刘勰虚静说是指作家创作构思的一种理想状态,直接导源于佛教禅学静观的入静理论,因为前者与后者的内涵基本上是一致的。刘勰生活在禅法风行的南朝,他修习且重视禅学,《文心雕龙》虚静说是刘勰吸取了佛教禅学静观的入静理论之后的创造。禅学是中国化的佛学,它不仅继承了印度佛教静观修行解脱之法,且在其发展过程中吸取了老庄道家的静观思想。老庄哲学的主静观念通过影响中国佛教禅学静观而影响刘勰的虚静说。因此,《文心雕龙》虚静说直接的近源是佛教禅学静观的入静理论,间接的远源是老庄哲学的主静观念。

Liu Xie＇s aesthetical whisht theory is a sort of ideal condition in a auther＇ s writing, the theory is rooted in Dhyana whisht theory of Buddhism, because the connotation of the former is basically in accordance with the latter Liu Xie lived in South Dynasty which the Dhyana theory was wide spread, he studied Dhyana theory and thought much of it. The aesthetical whisht theory in Wenxindiaolong was created by Liu Xie which drew water from Dhyana whisht theory of Buddhism. Dhyana theory is a Chinese Buddhism, it came from whisht theory in Indian Buddhism and absorbed the Taoism whisht theory of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi in the development, that is to say, Liu Xie＇ s aesthetical whisht theory was influenced by the Dhyana whisht theory which had been influenced by Taoism whisht theory in China before. For the reason, the Dhyana whisht theory in Buddhism is a direct and close source for the aesthetical whisht theory in Wenxindiaolong, and the Taoism whisht theory of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi is an indirect and distant source for the aesthetical whisht theory.
