《文心雕龙·宗经》篇“正末归本”新释——兼释《文心雕龙》中的“本”与“末”

A New Explanation on the Connotation of“Zheng Mo Gui Ben”(正末归本)In the Wen Xin Diao Long

刘勰在《宗经》篇提出了“正末归本”说。目前学界对“正末归本”的解释不尽一致,联系《文心雕龙》的思想体系,“正末归本”合理的解释是:纠正淫丽讹滥的文风,回到经书所指引的雅丽结合、华实相扶的正路上来。刘勰的“正末归本”说,一方面受到了自魏晋以来文论的影响;另一方面,也与魏晋玄学中的本末之辨有关。刘勰在继承前人的基础上,赋予“本末”以新的内涵与使命,对于纠正浮华不实的文风发挥了重要的作用。

Liu Xie put forward the theory of“zheng mo gui ben”(正末归本)in the chapter of Zong Jing.At present,there were different explanations of“zheng mo gui ben”(正末归本)in academic circles.According to the ideological system of the Wen Xin Diao Long,the reasonable explanation of“zheng mo gui ben”(正末归本)was to correct the obscene and disorderly style of writing and return to the path of combining elegance and beauty and combining gorgeousness and artlessness guided by the Five Classics.Liu Xie’s view of“zheng mo gui ben”(正末归本)was influenced by the literary theory since Wei and Jin dynasties,on the other hand,it was also related to the distinction between essence and end in the Metaphysics of Wei and Jin Dynasties.On the basis of inheriting predecessors,Liu Xie endowed the“essence and end”with new connotation and mission,which played an important role in correcting the pompous and untrue style of writing.
