游于艺:徐渭的艺术精神

Amusing oneself by Art: Xu Wei's Artistic Taste

徐渭虽然是明代文坛的边缘人 ,但却代表着明代文学的一种新精神 ,就是以“玩文学”的方式消解“诗言志”、“文载道”的传统。他的诗文创作既非源自某种使命感或道义精神 ,也非社会的写照或干预生活的武器 ,而是一种游戏人生自得其乐的生存方式。他拒绝崇高拒绝深刻 ,化神圣为笑谈 ,化正经为滑稽 ,在明代文学特定的语境中横空出世 ,开启了晚明“独抒性灵”

Xu Wei, a marginal figure of the Ming literary circles, embodies a new spirit of the Ming literature, that is, to play with literature to change the literary tradition of Yanzhi and Zaidao . Xu Wei's artistic works, neither originated from a sense of responsibility or a moral spirit, nor a mirror of the Ming society or a weapon to interfere with social life, only serve as a way to amuse himself in life. He defies the sublime and the deep, and makes fun of the sacred and the serious. All these are new to readers in the context of the Ming literature, which pioneers the late Ming school of self expression.
