《淮南子》文艺理想观

The Ideal of Literature and Art in Huainanzi

《淮南子》的文艺理想观是对儒道文艺思想的融汇整合。首先,关于文艺本质观,《淮南子》坚持了文艺是社会现实的真实反映,又强调了它是人的心灵自由创造的产物,是社会功用和审美的统一。其次,《淮南子》从艺术的特征、艺术的源动力以及艺术的审美效果等三个方面论述了“至情”观,第一次全面突出文艺创作的情感审美特征,其影响深远。再次,关于文艺作品的审美风格,《淮南子》主张阴柔与阳刚并举,自然美与人工美相得益彰。

The ideal of literature and art in huainanzi harmoniously unifies the idea of Confucianism and Taoism. Firstly, about the essential of the idea, huainanzi not only insists that literature and art really reflect social reality, but also emphasizes that they come from soul creation freely and they unify social function and aesthetics. Secondly, huainanzi emphsizes on the aesthetic emotion of literature and art by discussing the idea of ＂zhiqing＂ on three aspects of the character and move and aesthetic effect, which is profoundly influential. Thirdly, on the aesthetic style, huainanzi think that the works of literature and art need both feminine and masculine, and that the natural and artificial beauty manifest the best in compensation.
