论“意”与传统审美范畴体系化的建构

On the Relationship between“Yi”and the Construction of the Category System of Traditional Chinese Aesthetics

“意”作为审美范畴,从其文字构成、直觉功能、历史演进以及与心灵诸词的关系等方面体现了其必然要在审美活动中及美感体系的建构中发挥关键作用。中国传统审美范畴体系,在“意”的功能作用下,形成了本源体系和流衍体系两个部分,“意”起着沟通本源体系和流衍体系的特殊作用。本源体系构成整个审美范畴体系架构的哲学基础,形成传统审美体系之“体”,这部分赋予了“意”作为审美范畴的道性特点,体现了“意”在审美活动中作为元范畴意义发生的根源。而流衍体系则构成了传统审美体系之“用”,是本源体系在审美领域的实现,也是“意”的道性特征的实现,显现出传统审美范畴间的关联性及这种关联性之所由。当然,以“意”为中心的传统审美体系所呈现出来的生成性和同质性又构成了美感普遍性的中国式阐释的哲学基础。

As an aesthetic category,“Yi”plays a key role in aesthetic activities and in the construction of aesthetic embodiment from the aspects of its writing composition,intuitive function,historical evolution and relationship with spiritual words.In the entire system of traditional aesthetic categories,“Yi”is in a special position where it constructs the source and leads the flow.The entire system with“Yi”as the hub is roughly formed into two parts:the source system and the stream system.The source system constitutes the philosophical foundation of the entire aesthetic category system;as the body of the traditional aesthetic system,this part makes“Yi”have the Taoist feature of the aesthetic category,and establishes the relationship between philosophy and aesthetics in the field of Chinese aesthetics.The stream system constitutes the use of the entire structure of the aesthetic category system.It is the realization of the source system in the aesthetic field and the Taoist characteristics of“Yi”,and it also embodies the relevance of aesthetic categories and the reason for this relevance in the field of Chinese aesthetics.Of course,the generation and homogeneity of the traditional aesthetic system centered on“Yi”constitute the philosophical basis of the Chinese interpretation of aesthetic universality.
