“圣叹文字”与文本解释中的自我理解——从哲学解释学谈金圣叹叙事文学评点

Shengtan's Own Works and Text Interpretation as to Self-understanding

金圣叹的《水浒传》和《西厢记》评点蕴涵了深刻的解释学思想,他从批《西厢记》的"圣叹"文字中表明文学解释是一种"自我理解"行为,必然带有读者的理解视域。但在他那里,这种理解视域不是封闭的,而是在过去—现在—未来的时间维度中保持开放性。金圣叹对文学文本的理解超越了世俗的利害关系,上升为对人生意义、人类生活的追求,以及对人类未来生活的引领。

There are rich hermeneutics thoughts in Jin Shengtan＇s comments on the Water Margin and the Westem Chamber. He says that when he comments on the Western Chamber, it seems as if the Western Chamber is his own works. It shows that literary hermeneutics is a ＂self-understanding behavior＂, thus conveying the readers＇ understanding horizon. This horizon is not closed, but keeping open from the past to the present, and from the present to the future. Jin Shengtan＇s textual understanding has transcended the utility and risen to pursue the meaning life, and to guide the future life in his understandings of literary works.
