论晚明文人情本思想的传播

On the Transmission of Love-Orientation Ideas of Men of Letters of Late Ming Dynasty

晚明文人的情本思想发展有清晰的逻辑轨迹可循:首先在观念上提升"情"的作用,提出"情本"概念,然后,借助戏曲、小说、小品文等文学载体强化这一概念,当他们意识到"情"的无序和泛溢给社会带来的负面影响时,又在不遗余力地呼唤"理"的回归。他们试图坚持情理合一,找到一个平衡的最佳点,以此作为解决这一矛盾的良方,但实际上,极力彰显的"情"全部湮没在无情无欲的"理"之中,终与宋明理学殊途同归。

There is a clear logical trace in the development of Ideas of Love of men of letters in late Ming Dynasty： firstly, the function of love is promoted conceptually and the concept of ＂love-orientation＂ is proposed; later, this concept is reinforced by literary vehicles such as drama, novel and essay. When they realize that the disorder and overflowing of ＂love＂ bring negative influence to society, they spare no efforts in advocating the return to ＂reason＂, They try to insist on the combination of love and reason and reach an ideal balance so as to tackle the problem. But in fact, their ＂love＂ is completely immersed in the loveless and desireless ＂reason＂ represented by the School of Neo-Confucianism of Song and Ming dynasties.
