从创作论角度阐释《二十四诗品》

An Interpretation of Ershisi Shipin in the Perspective of Creative Theory

《二十四诗品》以其意蕴丰厚、文字优美而令人着迷。经对其文本分析,得出两点结论。第一,"二十四品"实非并列的二十四种美学风格,而是一套创作论,是对创作一篇佳作的数种要求。以"雄浑"起,作者赋予理想中佳作以中国传统文化之"道"、"气"二元素,然后按照内在逻辑接续写出,各品递进,中以"自然"为关节,再以"流动"终了,指出真正的标准是顺其自然、变化不息。第二,除首尾两品,其余二十二品可大致分为佳作创作的十品纲要("自然"又为其中之重)和十二品表象。作者如同建筑房屋一般,按照次序树立纲要,再以表象辅助,逻辑鲜明,情趣生动。

Ershisi Shipin, with its rich implications and beautiful language, presents itself a fascinating content. Through the textual studies of Ershisi Shipin, the article obtains two conclusions. One is that ＂the twenty four qualities＂ do not refer to twenty four aes- thetical styles for appreciation of poetry but are a system of creative theory with the various requirements for the creation of a fine piece of poetic writing. Starting from the characteristics of vigor and firmness, the author advocates that a masterpiece should contain the two fundamental elements of Dao and Qi in the sense of Chinese traditional culture. Then according to the inner logic of the text, the other qualities are explored one by one with the characteristic of ＂naturalness＂ as the joint while ending with the quality of flow- ingness. The author points out that the true measure of an excellent work is the natural flow and constant changes. The other re- search result is that apart from the first and last qualities, those twenty two, from the second to the twenty third, can be divided into ten standards for creative writing, with ＂naturalness＂ as the emphasis and twelve features of a good writing. The whole twenty four qualities were written and joined in a clear logical way just as the building of a house, setting up essentials accordingly and then facili- tating with other supporting details with logical thought and vivid expressions.
