“象征”之辩

On Symbol

自象征主义于 19世纪中叶滥觞于法国并传入中国后 ,现代文坛的许多文艺名家对“象征”多有论述。他们从不同角度、不同层出对“象征”概念的生发阐释相互龃龉 ,集中体现在梁宗岱《象征主义》一文的论述中。朱光潜阐释了“象征”的基本概念 ,梁宗岱则阐释了象征主义的“整体象征论” 。

Since symbolism, which originated from France in the middle of 19th century and then was introduced to China, it has been discussed by many famous esperts in modern literature. They gave their definitions of symbol from different aspects and levels which were presented in Symbolism by Liang Zongdai. In specific, Zhu Guangqian presented a general idea of 'symbol' while Liang Zongdai elaborated'the whole symbolism', which became the basic theory of Symbolism poetry in neo-literature.
