“草木意象”与《文心雕龙》文学理论的展开

The Image of"Plants"and the Development of Literature Theory in Wenxin Diaolong(《文心雕龙》)

在中国古代文论中,很多文论家都以草木意象来说明、解释文学理论问题,其中,刘勰《文心雕龙》中的草木意象尤为典型。《文心雕龙》遍及文学理论中的创作、鉴赏及文学观念等各方面,具有体系性,体现出强大的理论意义。草木意象作为刘勰在《文心雕龙》中对文学作品进行抒发、赏析的重要载体之一,展现了刘勰对文学创作、文学评论的基本观点,具有重要的研究意义。刘勰通过“草木意向”分析了《文心雕龙》中“情”—“物”—“采”的关系,通过“草木意象”探讨“文原于道”“经典学习”及“继承和革新”诸多重要问题,为此后的文学创作和文学批评作出了理论性的奠基。
