司空图对意境内涵的解释

Sikongtu's Explanation of Artistic Conception

在中国美学史上,对意境内涵的解释而言,司空图的解释是最为精当的,这主要体现在四个方面,一是对意境结构的清晰恰当的描述,二是对意境结构要素的关系的精准说明,三是对意境的整体性的说明,四是描述了意境的无意识性。这四个方面奠定了司空图在中国美学史上的地位,他完整地解释了意境的结构、统一性、生成性、无意识性,加上《二十四诗品》对意境的分类,司空图可谓意境理论的集大成者。

Sikongtu＇ s explanation of artistic conception is the most accurate in the history of Chinese aesthetics; it is mainly embodied in four aspects： the first is the clear and proper description of structure of artistic conception; the second is the accurate explanation of elements of artistic conception; the third is the explanation of unity of artistic conception; the fourth is the explanation of the unconsciousness of artistic conception.
