中国隐喻艺术思维的目的性和适宜性价值取向初论

Probing into the Value Orientation of the Aim and Suitability in China’s Artistic Metaphorical Thinking

中国隐喻艺术思维具有明显的目的性和适宜性价值取向。艺术中的目的性实际上是艺术家在比较(对比)、类比的基础上,再经过联想和想象,而最终达到将对象"人化",形成意象,最后构成一个复杂而又庞大的象征体系,形成隐喻。适宜性思维在中国古代被称为"宜",也就是强调对策或方法的针对性,其基本精神就是尊重客观现实。中国人的"宜"思维一般主要表现为宜地、宜时、宜人,实际上就是处理问题的灵活性,这种情况表现在艺术中则是隐喻。

China＇s artistic metaphorical thinking distinctively has its value orientation of the aim and suitability. Artistic aim actually refers to a kind of metaphor made by the artists with a complicated and great symbolic system resulting from the image by association and imagination to reach a personalized object based on comparison and analogy. Suitability of thinking is a kind of appropriateness in ancient China, namely, it focuses on the relevance of its countermeasures and approaches, and basically its essential spirit is to abide by the objective reality. The thinking of suitability in China mainly represents the appropriateness for place, time and people. Actually it is the flexibility of dealing with the problems, which is rooted in the art as the metaphor.
