On Social and Cultural Reasons for Development of the Rhetoric of Huiwen

在汉语修辞的大花园里,有一个被称为奇葩的修辞格:回文。陈望道《修辞学发凡》指出:回文"是讲究词序有回环往复之趣的一种措辞法"。它可分为宽义回文(回环)和狭义回文两类。本文探讨的是后一类,即"无论顺读、倒读,都可成文"的一类。从审美角度看,回文与社会审美文化的关系非常密切。魏晋南北朝审美文化的转变、形式美意识的觉醒,促进了回文审美的发展。文坛上趋新求异的风尚及历代文体的变化、读法的多样也为回文审美发展提供了平台。古今有关回文的认识与评价对回文审美发展也产生了重要作用。
