“吾自适吾适”:论晚明文人艺术观念的悲情色彩

“Wu Zi Shi Wu Shi”: The Sadness Colors of Artistic Conception in Late Ming Dynasty

"吾自适吾适"是对晚明文人艺术功用观念的时代诠释,也是对晚明文人自娱自适艺术人生的形象写照。这种自适艺术观尽管是晚明文人个体生命趋向自娱自适而获解脱的最佳方式,却也无不折射出晚明文人深沉的悲情色彩和强烈的消极意识,同时也昭示出晚明艺术精神的品质及其发展趋向,预示着中国艺术由近古社会向近代迈进的一种新的深层走向。对晚明文人及其艺术观中所蕴藏的悲情色彩和消极意识,我们既需要给予时代的审美同情和理解,又要对这种观念所带来的虚浮空疏的创作风气有所检视和批判。

＇Wu zi shi wu shr is the interpretation of the concept of the artistic function of the late Ming literati, but also the portrayal of the image of the self-entertainment art life in the late Ming Dynasty. This kind of artistic view is the secret recipe for the self-adaptation of the individual＇s life. Although it all reflects the sadness colors and negative consciousness of this idea, it also shows the quality and development of the late Ming art spirit and it indicates a new deep trend of Chinese culture and art from near ancient society to modem times, and also leads the value orientation of civic literature and art. In addition to the aesthetic sympathy and aesthetic understanding of the times,there is no need to blame too mucli for the tragic colors and negative consciousness contained in the late Ming literati in the dilemma and their artistic views.
