汤显祖的唯情论艺术观

A Probe into Tang Xian-zu's Emotional View of Art

汤显祖的唯情论艺术观将“情”提到了本体论的哲学高度,认为情是“性乎天机”的存在,是一切艺术创作的原动力,是戏曲艺术的生命。这对于反击道学家歪曲戏曲本质、将戏曲变成理学的传声筒是非常有力的,对于探讨戏曲的特性、展示戏曲的情感意蕴也是大有裨益的。

In his emotional view of art, Tang Xian-zu raised emotion to the philosophical level of ontology, holding that, as an existence of nature, it constitutes the motive force to all artistic creations and the vitality of dramatic art. Such a view is powerful to counterattacking the rationalistic Confucian school＇s distortion of the nature of dramas as its megaphone. It, too, is very helpful to the exploration of the nature of dramas and to the revealment of the emotional connotation of drama.
