“兴”的文化溯源

Tracing the Culture Source of "Xing"

作为中国传统美学中一个具有重要发端意义的元范畴,"兴"凝缩了中国文化自古至今的元素,保留了原始艺术活动与艺术思维的因子,同时糅合了理性年代的艺术观念。因此,从发生学、文化人类学等角度,将"兴"作为一个具体的历史发展的过程来研究它与原始宗教、原始思维、以及中国传统文化之间的关系,才能真正透彻地理解"兴"这个中国诗学的核心概念所特有的文化蕴涵。

As an important meta--category in the Chinese traditional aesthetics, ＂xing＂ has condensed the Chinese cultural elements from the ancient times to the present, has retained the primitive artistic activity and the artistic factors, and has mingled the artistic conceptions of the rational age. Therefore, from perspectives of embryology and cultural anthropology, ＂xing＂ as a unique core concept of the Chinese poetics can be better understood.
