中国古代文学娱乐观的一般辨析

A general analysis of ancient Chinese literature entertainments concept

中国古代文学娱乐观是古人对于文学娱乐功用的观点和看法。具体而言,是指中国古代以文学为娱乐对象,或者以"爱玩"和娱乐的心态对待文学、从事文学活动,要求文学满足自己种种娱乐性需要的文学观念。文学的娱乐之用因为契合人性对于感性愉悦的需要而成为文学的常态功用之一,在中国古代正统文学观念之外源远流长。文学娱乐观的内涵是丰富而多层的,从大的文化分层看,它存在于政教合一的大文化背景下,受到正统文学观"文以载道"的遮蔽和压制;从创作的动机和目的来看,"以文为娱"又可分为"自娱"和"娱人";而就娱乐带来的心理愉悦和快适层面,又可做美感和快感的区分。

The entertainment view in ancient Chinese literature represents ancient people＇s viewpoint and opinions about literature＇s entertainment function. Specifically, it refers to literature concept that writers and readers should engage in literature activities with an entertainment attitude and literature should satisfy people＇s entertainment demand. As one of the function of literature, entertainment can meet people＇s perceptual enjoyment, therefore existing for a long history outside the ancient orthodox literary concept in China. The connotation of literature entertainment is rich and multi-layered. From the perspec- tive of cultural stratification, existing under the great cultural background of the unity of politics and reli- gion, literature entertainment has been obscured and repressed by the orthodox literary view that ＂writings are meant to deliver and convey ethics and truth＂. From the angle of motivation and purpose, literature entertainment can be divided into self-entertainment and entertaining others. While in terms of the effects of entertainment on psychological pleasure and delightful enjoyment, it can also be divided into aesthetic feelings and pleasant feelings.
