《文心雕龙》创作构思论中“理性思维”的演绎及评析

Cognitions of"Rational Thinking"in the Theory of Creative Conception of The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons

刘勰在《文心雕龙》中谈论创作构思时,除对构思过程中形象思维的运用做出充分说明外,同时强调创作主体理性思维的参与。在其倡导的这种“理性思维”下,创作主体一是应做到主动认识与合理发挥思想情感,二是要始终遵循必要的写作方法和创作规律。从一定程度上来说,这是刘勰基于当时文学发展情况提出的具有针对性的建议,不过由于其创作论仍是在儒家文化范围内进行,其关于“理性思维”的指导难免带有“征圣”和“宗经”的色彩。

When Liu Xie talked about the creative conception in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons,he not only fully explained the use of image thinking in the process of conception,but also emphasized the participation of the creator's rational thinking.Under the"rational thinking"advocated by him,the creator should take the initiative to understand and give reasonable play to thoughts and emotions,and always follow the necessary writing methods and rules.To a certain extent,this is Liu Xie's targeted suggestions based on the development of literature at that time.However,because his creation theory was still within the scope of Confucian culture,his instruction on"rational thinking"was inevitably imprinted with"consecrated sage"and"Confucian classics".
