《文心雕龙》对“壮采”“壮丽”的调遣及其表达理念

A discussion on “Zhuangli” and “Zhuangcai” in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons

《文心雕龙》中有"壮采"、"壮丽"两种表述,所指各有侧重。壮采之壮,兼有盛大与飞扬两义,用的是其原始本义;壮丽之壮指卓越超群,之丽指宏富繁多。《文心雕龙》对壮采、壮丽的调遣,主要是用来描述辞赋,以及与辞赋相近文类的特征,反映了刘勰厚古人、重首创的文学观念。

there are two concepts of ＂Zhuangcai＂and ＂Zhuangli＂in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons. ＂Zhuang＂in ＂Zhuangcai＂means great and to fly high which are the initial meaning of this Chinese character and ＂cai＂means to be graced. However,＂Zhuangli＂resembles ＂Zhuangcai＂in expression but not in connotation： ＂Zhuang＂means to be exceeding the common literary works and ＂li＂depicts the large number of examples and literary imagery. Above all,the usage of ＂Zhuangcai＂and＂Zhuangli＂reflects on the idea from Liuxie,the author of The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons,ancient works are superior to the recent ones and the creator of a literary form is the best.
