“不在场的情人”:论唐宋词中的“时空阻隔”

“Absent Lover”:On the “Space-time Barrier” in Tang Song Ci

唐宋词是中国古代文士阶层的第一次集中的、大规模的"言情"之举。它在延续此前爱情书写中的"民间"策略、"宫廷"策略、"君臣比附"策略以及"模糊处理"策略的同时,以"阻隔"策略建立起文体特色。"时空阻隔"过滤掉了男女欢会场面的艳俗,使爱情词具有了"悲雅"的风格,在迎合市井风情之外,更符合文士阶层雅致的审美趣味。唐宋词中的"时空阻隔"反映出中国传统文士阶层在儒家耻感文化中对"性言说"的避忌,也表现出词体与戏剧相通的"向外叩问"式的悲剧审美模式,更是文士阶层的"自恋心态"在爱情书写中的表现。

Ci Poetry of Tang and Song Dynasties is the first concentrated and large-scale act of"expressing love"by literati class in ancient China.It not only continues the"folk"strategy,the"court"strategy,the"metaphor of monarch and Minister"strategy and the"fuzzy processing"strategy in the previous love writings,but also establishes its stylistic features with the"barrier"strategy."Space-time barrier"filters out the vulgarity of the sex scenes,and makes love poems have a"sad and elegant"style,which is more in line with the elegant aesthetic taste of the literati class in addition to catering to the city customs.The"spacetime barrier"in Tang Song Ci reflects the Chinese traditional literati’s avoidance of"sex expression"in Confucian shame culture.It also shows the tragic aesthetic mode of"complaining about the outside world",which is the same as Chinese tragedies.It is also the expression of"narcissistic mentalitof literati in love writings.
