晚明艺术的娱乐功用观念辨析

An Analysis of the Art Idea of Entertainment Function in Late Ming Dynasty

晚明艺术的娱乐功用观念是在阳明心学思潮影响下的晚明文人"师心尚性"的产物,并发展为晚明艺术所共有的功能特征。晚明戏曲或书画艺术被晚明文人作为审美游戏的工具,担负着自娱和娱人的双重功能。这表明,晚明文人对艺术本身的审美情感等艺术功用的本体认识更加深入和自觉,而且这种观念已不只局限于他们所持的艺术观点,而扩大成为他们人生观和价值观的取向了,从而推动了晚明艺术与理论的双重繁荣,在中国艺术史上意义重大。

The concept of amusement function of Late Ming arts is the result of late Ming literati＇s mind, which is under the influence ofYang Ming＇s thought of mind. It developed into the common feature of general art and a literary trend of thought. The opera or calligraphy and painting were used as a tool of aesthetic game, and to bear the double function of self-entertainment and entertainment others.
