略论刘勰司空图严羽“尚简”诗学的差异

A Brief Approaching to the Differences in the Theories of Simplify Poetics of Liuxie and Sikongtu and Yanyu

“尚简”是中国古代诗学的重要原则。刘勰、司空图、严羽都非常重视“简”的诗学意义,都强调诗应该“言约意丰”。三人“尚简”诗学的不同处在于:刘勰看重意义表达的“简约”,强调以非常简单、简省的语体形式(包括词汇、语篇、体制等)包含非常丰富的意义。司空图、严羽则重视意味和意兴的“简要”,认为诗之极至在于传达超理性、超语言的意味和意兴。

Simplicity is an important principle of Chinese ancient poetics, Liuxie and Sikongtu and Yanyu all advocate the principle of simplicity. Their differences are as followings： Liuxie stresses the simpie of the forms of poetry; Sikongtu and Yanyu attach importance to the unspeakable of the connotations of poetry.
