《诗经》阐释与中国古代诗学

The Interpretation of Book of Songs and the Chinese Ancient Poetics

中国古代诗学理论是以儒家为主体的诗学理论,它主要建立在以《六经》为代表的经典解释传统基础上。不过,对于儒家经典阐释与中国古代诗学的关系来说,最值得重视的是《诗经》的阐释。这是因为,《诗经》不仅与文学诗学的关系最为密切,而且可以看成是儒家经典的一个总汇,最典型地体现了儒家文化精神,所以成为儒家诗学阐释的内在根据,深刻影响中国诗学理论的发展进程。

The ancient Chinese poetics is mainly based on Confucian poetics and on classical interpretations of Six Classics. How- ever, for the relations between Confucian classics and Chinese ancient poetics, the most important is the interpretation of Book of Songs. Book of Songs not only had close relationship with poetics and literature but also can be seen as the confluence of Confucian classics. It was the most typical embodiment of Confucian cultural spirit and became the inherent ground of interpretation of Confucian poetics. It had a profound influence on the development of Chinese poetic theory.
