“诗可以怨”反诘

Question on "Shi Ke Yi Yuan"

"诗可以怨"及其相关论断一直是中国传统诗论的重要命题,它在当代的彰显得益于钱钟书先生的一次演讲,随后重申者和推崇者辈出。然而通过对这个命题的诘问,我们发现:这一命题虽然占有历史的合理性,在逻辑和学理上却是存在一定的漏洞。"诗可以怨"一方面并不能恰当地适用于诗歌以外的其他文学体裁领域,另一方面,单纯在诗论领域它也存在一定的偏颇。其结果是,这一看似无误的理论命题却极有可能成为文学充分发展的犄角,限制了文学的另一种发展。

＂Shi Ke Yi Yuan＂ and related theses have been an important traditional poetic proposition. It was raised from a speech by Qian Zhongshu, then respected by large numbers. But with a cross-examination of this proposition, we found that ：although it is historically reasonable, there are still some logical loopholes on it. On the one hand it does not apply to all the literary genre, on the other hand, even just apply to poetics it is also biased. As a result, althouth it seems unambiguous, this proposition can become a barrier to the full-development of the literature.
