美在对形象的超越——李商隐诗歌意象探析

Beauty Lies in the Transcendency of the Images: A Probe into the Imagery in the poems by Li Shangyin

李商隐诗凄美动人而又晦涩难解,主要表现其心灵世界。其诗歌多用象喻,但这个喻体的本体却不出现,而是跨越本体直接说到这个喻体所引起的情思,得意而忘象。这正是义山诗的难解之处,也体现了其诗歌独特的美。义山诗超越了形象本身,又涵盖了一切形象,而这种超越形象的美是建立在其独特的诗歌意象系统之上的。在词藻、意象组合、意象创新上,李商隐都有其特色。

The poems by Li Shangyin are at the same time poignant and moving,and so obscure that it is difficult to comprehend.He principally uses the poem to express his spiritual world.The imagery metaphors are abundant in his poems,but the source of his metaphors is always absent.He inclines to express his thoughts and feelings and emotions aroused by avoiding the mention of the source,that is,capturing the spirit without imagery.His poems transcend the image per se as well as cover all the images.Such a beauty transcends the image rooted in his particular imagery system.Indeed,in the aspects of rhetoric,the assemblage of imagery and the innovation of imagery,these poems bear extraordinary features of their own.
