江山之助:《文心雕龙》的地理环境论

Nature's Help to Literature Creation:Nature Environment Theory in Wen Xin Diao Long

刘勰在《文心雕龙.物色篇》中使用了"江山之助"一词,第一次提出了文学批评中的地理环境论。刘勰认为,山林皋壤是影响诗人创作的重要因素,可以激发诗人的创作灵感。这一理论的出现绝不是偶然现象,而是有着时代的、理论的和实践的前提和条件。刘勰的论述非常简略,但对后世的文学理论和文学创作影响很大。

Liu Xie used the word, ＂nature＇s help to literature creation＂ in his Wen Xin Diao Long. He first proposed Nature Environment Theory in the ancient Chinese literature critical history. Liu Xie thought that nature environment such as mountain, river, forest and earth so on, might affect the literary creation. Birth of the theory was no way occasional but there were particular conditions of that times and literary experience. Though Liu Xie＇s discussion was plain very much, it geatly had an effect on the theory and writing of art after that.
