论巴蜀文化与来知德的美学精神

Ba-Shu Culture and Aesthetic Spirit of LAI Zhide

巴蜀地处盆地,四面环山,但巴蜀先民并不局限于此,而是努力开拓,冲破自然的束缚,向外发展。这种态度深深积淀在巴蜀人心底,逐渐形成了勇于开拓创新的巴蜀文化精神。明末巴蜀学者来知德不臣服和恪守权威、传统,提出"舍象不可以言《易》""格去其物欲"以及"文能载道,何害于文"的美学观点,以正人心和世风。这正是勇于开拓创新的巴蜀文化精神在来知德美学思想中的折射,也是巴蜀美学精神的特点所在。

Ba-Shu is located in a basin and surrounded by high mountains all round,which hinders its connection to other areas.But Ba-Shu ancestors were not reconciled to this and cut out paths to break through the bonds of environment. So Ba-Shu culture is branded as open and innovation. LAI Zhide,a scholar in late Ming dynasty,didn't surrender to authority or tradition and ventured some aesthetic opinions,which was influenced by Ba-Shu culture. In other words,the spirit of Ba-Shu culture is manifested by the aesthetics of LAI Zhide.
