论《隐秀》的“象外之隐”与易学

On the Yi-oriented “Hidden Meanings beyond Images”in Chapter “Yinxiu”

《隐秀》作为刘勰探讨文学创作的重要篇章,此前并未得到应有的重视,此中有三个方面的原因:第一,《隐秀》"补文"存在真伪之议;第二,在《隐秀》"残文"中,"隐秀"的概念、内涵和审美效应并不难判定,学界对此实际也无大分歧;第三,学界一般都承认刘勰的"隐秀"论必然以《周易》为论述的依据和起点,对此本无疑义。但细论起来,这三个问题却都指向了《隐秀》文本的超越性阐释这一核心问题。对于真伪的问题,我们应超越那些客观牵连,而关注那些超越性的本然体验。在此,补文所体现的易学思想,确实与"残文"乃至全书一致;《周易》那种超越性的思维范式才是"象外之隐"的本源,中国意境美学的发轫,实与《周易》息息相关。

Though it was an important chapter related to literal creation discussed by Liu Xie 刘勰 465-5201 in his Wenxin diaolong 文心雕龙（lit., the Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons）, ＂Yinxiu 隐秀＂ （lit., Hidden Meanings and Aphorisms} had not been sufficiently valued. There are mainly three reasons for this： 1 ） There had been debates over the authenticity of the ＂Supplemen- ted Texts＂ in the chapter; 2） In the ＂Fragments＂ of the chapter, the concept, connotations, and aesthetic effects of the term ＂Yinx- iu＂ are not difficult to determine and there is no sharp discrepancies on this in the academic circle; 3} The academic circle admits that Li Xie＇ s argument in ＂Yinxiu＂ was based on the Zhou Changes and scholars had no doubts about it. A careful study of the chap- ter can show that all the above-mentioned three issues point to the transcendent interpretation -- the kernel issue -- of the text of the chapter. For the first issue, we ought to transcend those objective ties and pay attention to those transcendent experiences. The idea embodied by the ＂Supplemented Texts＂ was indeed congruent with that conceived in the ＂Fragments＂ and the whole book while the paradigm of transcendent thinking of the Zhou Changes was the source and origin of the ＂hidden meanings beyond images.＂ There- fore, the emergence of Chinese aesthetics with artistic conception was actually closely related to the Zhou Changes.
