唐代佛禅背景下“意境”理论的嬗变——以王昌龄为中心

The Evolution of “Artistic Conception”under the Background of Buddhism:Centered on Wang Changling's Theory

"意境"是中国文学乃至整个中国古典文学艺术中非常重要的一个概念,文学理论中的"意境"论最早见于唐代王昌龄提出来"三境"论。王昌龄的三境论在结构框架上借鉴了佛教"三别义"论,而其中"意境"的内涵界定又受到禅宗"空"的思想影响。继王昌龄之后,唐代诗论家皎然与司空图对意境理论做出了新的论述,他们的理论也是唐代佛禅思想发展的背景之下形成的。

＂Artistic conception ＂ is an important concept in Chinese literature and even in the entire Chinese culture and art. The theory of ＂artistic conception＂can be found in Wang Changling＇s book The Style of Poetry in which Wang Changling put forward the theory of ＂three artistic conception＂in the light of Buddhist aesthetics. What＇s more,the connotation of the＂artistic conception＂is affected by the thoughts of＂empty＂in Zen Buddhism. After Wang Changling,Jiao Ran and Si Kongtu also discuss the theory of artistic conception that are formed in the background of Buddhism in Tang Dynasty.
