狷行人生路——论中国古代文人的一种人格美学取向

"Juan":A Kind of Aesthetic Personality Orientation of Ancient Chinese Literati

"狷"是中国古代特有的、徘徊于儒家与道家之间的文化概念,从内涵上说它主要是一个人格美学范畴。在个人气质上,清高孤傲,不屑不洁之人浑浊之事,耻贱污而不行;在表现形态上,漠视虚伪的道德规范,特立独行,甚至有所偏执。屈原的"狷狭"、阮籍的"狷狂"、陶潜的"狷隐"、姜夔的"狷介",是中国古代文人狷性人格倾向的典型代表。"狷"的实质,从根本上而言,是儒家精神的一种特殊变相。

As a specific cultural concept in ancient China, ＂ Juan＂ derives its meaning mainly from personality aesthetics and partakes of both Confucian and Taoist values. The literati, with the personality trait of ＂ Juan＂ , were aloof from worldly affairs, unswayed in pursuing enterprises they thought right and contemptuous of false morals. They were frequently individu- alists to a fault. This article analyzes four types of this character： ＂ Qu Yuan＇s intolerant Juan＂ , ＂ Ruan Ji＇s overbearing Juan＂ , ＂ Tao Qian＇s Juan as a herlnit＂ and ＂ Jiang Kui＇s incorruptible Juan＂ , all of which are common manifestations of ＂ Juan＂. Basically, ＂ Juan＂ is the Confucian spirit in a new guise.
