沈从文文学批评的禅学意蕴

On the Zen Buddhist Implication in Shen Cong-wen Literary Criticism

沈从文文论中所提倡的直觉感悟的审美方式、静观人生与"和谐-节制"的美学趣味、美在生命的文学理想,无不与禅宗的人生哲学相契合。解读他的文学思想、探寻他与禅宗文化之间的关系,意图是努力靠近沈从文的历史真貌,从另一思维路径去探讨其文艺思想的独特性,从而为更全面认识沈从文独特的文化心理结构提供一种有价值的研究。

The aesthetic approach based on intuition, the aesthetic taste featuring a tranquil look at life and ＂harmony-refrainment＂ relationship and the literary ideal of beauty in life that Shen Cong-wen advocates in his literary critic works are all in agreement with the Zen Buddhist philosophy of life. The essay interprets and explores Shen Cong-wen’s literary thoughts and his link with the Zen Buddhist culture in an attempt to get closer to the novelist and critic＇s real identity, providing a new angle to look at his unique literary thoughts and valuable studies on how to fully comprehend his original cultural psychological structure.
