日本“物哀”审美的近世色彩:义理与人情的博弈

The Modern Color of the Aesthetic of “Mono no aware” in Japan: the Game between “Duty” and “Human Warmth”

本文以"物哀"审美的近世色彩及其形成根源为研究对象,试从审美和信仰等文化视角,阐明近世物哀同"义理"与"人情"的博弈相伴而生的特征。近世前期和中期,义理较之于人情占据显著优势,受义理桎梏而主动赴死或无奈殉情的例子俯拾皆是,渗透着无常色彩的物哀之情油然而生。近世后期,义理与人情的冲突不再激烈到难以调和,物哀心绪变得缠绵而幽艳。可以说,源自生命本真需求的人情,在与封建义理的抗衡中逐渐取得了优势地位。

The thesis is focused on the modern color of the aesthetic of ＂mono no aware＂（the pathos of things） and its origin. From the aspects of faith and aesthetic, it expounds that the aesthetic of ＂mono no aware＂ is often accompanied by the game between ＂duty＂ and ＂human warmth＂. In the early and middle stage of modern times, compared to human warmth, duty occupies a more significant position. It＇s quite common to find that people are affected by its shackles and the examples of going to die for loyalty or for love raise no eyebrows, permeating ＂mono no aware＂ with impermanence color. Later in the modern times, the conflict between duty and human warmth is no longer too keen to reconcile. The mood of mono no aware becomes lingering. As can be seen, during the process of resisting the feudal duty, human warmth that is from the natural demand for life gradually gained a dominant position.
