在神不在貌——论王国维的“眩惑”

The Inner Quality Rather Than the External Form Counts——On Wang Guowei's “Dazzle”

王国维早期的理论思想深受叔本华哲学的影响,他在《红楼梦评论》中提出的审美基本范畴"眩惑"根植于审美超利害学说,对立于"优美"和"壮美",脱胎于叔本华的"媚美"。后在《人间词话》中所引用的"淫词""鄙词"包含于"眩惑"的美学范畴之内,而王国维以"真"为艺术之美的标准,对"淫词""鄙词"大加赞赏,可以看作是对"眩惑"的补充和完善,使其与"媚美"大有不同,这样的转变是王国维以"在神不在貌"的审美方式观照的结果,浸润着中国古典诗学特色,体现了王国维思想的"去西方化"趋势。

With his early theoretical thoughts deeply influenced by Schopenhauer＇s philosophy,Wang Guowei proposes ＂Dazzle＂in Review on Dream of Red Mansions,a basic category of aesthetics rooted in Aesthetic Super Interest Theory,which conflicts with the ＂Beauty＂and ＂Magnificence＂,and is originated from Schopenhauer ＇s＂obsequious beauty＂. The＂obscene words＂and＂vulgar words＂later quoted in Comments on Ci Poetry,a category of aesthetics of＂dazzle＂,are greatly appreciated by Wang,which can be considered as the complement and improvement of＂dazzle＂,distinguishing itself from＂Obsequious beauty＂. This change is a result of Wang＇s aesthetics theory that＂the inner quality rather than the external form counts ＂,featuring Chinese classical poetry style and reflecting the ＂de- Westernization＂in Wang＇s thoughts.
