个体自性:徐渭美学思想综论

Individual Principle:A Comprehensive Study of Xu Wei's Aesthetic Thoughts

徐渭，明代著名文学家、书画家。与其他中国传统学者一样，徐渭并无美学专论。对于徐渭的美学思想，本文尝试从几个侧面进行梳理，它们是：“想由习生，景与想成”的自然审物观；“不求形似求生韵”的书画形象观；“写情诗贵切致，难于不头巾”的诗歌表现观；“本来真面目，由我主张”的戏剧创作观。这四个侧面虽然角度、立意不同，但都围绕着自我、真性和本色这三个核心范畴展开，而这三个核心范畴实质上是三位一体的，它们统一于独立的、不可复制的“真我”。

While Xu Wei's aesthetic thoughts has generated many scholars interest, most of the researches focuse on his theory of the true quality, theory of self-persistence, and his thought frame. Based on the detailed and complete exploration of Xu Wei's work, including his literary and artistic creations, however, this essay tries to present an overall and comprehensive analysis of Xu Wei's aesthetic thoughts. It pioneers a way to uncover the integral logic in Xu Wei's theory. This essay develops the idea that Xu Wei's individual principle, which to a large extent influences his natural aesthetics, image theory, emotion theory of poetry and true quality theory of drama, is the key to his aesthetic thoughts.
