《文心雕龙》:中国第一部写作心理学论著

The Literary Mind and the Carving Dragon:China's First Book on Writing Psychology

《文心雕龙》的书名,清楚地表明了全书的性质与主旨。"文心",即"为文之用心",就是写作时的整个心理活动。"文心雕龙"的本意是将写作的心理活动用精美的文辞予以细密地论述。可以说,《文心雕龙》是一部以写作心理学为核心的文章学。《原道》等五篇论"文之枢纽",揭示了指导写作心理活动的总的原则。以下二十篇,通过对不同文体写作特点与历史的考察,进一步具体论证了以上原则的正确性。下篇从《风骨》至《总术》篇,是在上篇确立的原则下,将各种文体打通后,正面论述了一系列临文写作时心理活动的特点、规则、方法与问题。后面《时序》至《知音》五篇,补充论述了一些与临文写作心理活动密切相关的几个重要问题,使得全书的结构更加完整、系统。

As the title The Literary Mind and the Carving Dragon shows, the literary mind is a psychological action while one is writing, whose original idea is to tell in detail the psychological situation. The first 5 chapters, as the pivot of pattern, reveal the general principle of guiding writing psychology. The following 20 chapters further prove the above - mentioned principle through different genres and historical survey. From the chapter＂Wind and Bone＂to the chapter＂ General Technique＂ are communicated all genres, and qualities, rules, methods and questions are stated. From the chapter＂ Time Order＂ to the chapter ＂Knowing the Tone＂ some important questions are added, thus making this book more complete and systematic.
