留白:《庄子》文本的召唤性

Space: Textual Summoning of “Zhuangzi”

《庄子》是先秦诸子中十分罕见的文本,就像中国古代文学和绘画一样,留有空白,给读者留有广阔的想象空间,这种文本特征,西方接受美学理论称之为"文本的召唤结构"。"空白"是作者未明确写出但是暗示给读者的那部分意义,它可以存在于文本的各个结构层次。《庄子》文本的召唤性就体现在段落之间若断若续;用词造语恢恑谲怪;言说方式恣纵不傥。由于《庄子》文本的召唤性,两千多年来,吸引了众多学者去阐释它。阐释者与庄子相互激荡,产生共鸣,因而诞生了各时代个性迥异的《庄子》解本。

＂Zhuangzi＂ is a rare text among the works written by Pre-Qin scholars,where space, like Chinese ancient literature and paintings, is left for the readers to imagine. This tex- tual character is called as ＂the summoning structure of the text＂ by the western Reception Aesthetics Theory. The ＂space＂ is the meaning that the writer implies to the reader. It can be at all structural levels. The textual summoning in ＂Zhuangzi＂ shows between paragraphs intermittently. The diction is weird and the style of expression is flexible. This character has been attracting scholars to study in the latest two thousand years. The interpreters and the writer echo and hence there are various interpretations.
