从辞义角度看“高”的审美义演变

On Evolution of Aesthetic Meaning of “High” from Perspective of Lexical Meaning

作为中西美学文献中都很关键的一个词,“高”的探讨尤其能展现中国古典美学的非本质性和非形而上学性,通过呈现“高”的辞义变化,发现“高”的意义从自然实意向审美虚义的转变,而这种呈现主要是基于魏晋美学文献。以魏晋文献为证,从与对象的关系和表现形式上,发现其与西方“崇高”所表现出的不同的一体圆融性和非直观性特征,以此反观古典美学的特征,也对“高”的审美义加以一种更加生态性的呈现。

As a crucial word in both Chinese and western aesthetics literature,the discussion of“high”especially can show the essential of Chinese classical aesthetics and non metaphysics.This paper presents the change of meaning“high”from a substantial meaning to an aesthetic one,and this kind of display is mainly based on Wei and Jin aesthetics literature.On this basis,the paper,in terms of the relationship with objects and the form of expression,finds out that it is different from the western“sublime”in its integration and non-intuitive characteristics,so as to reflect the characteristics of classical aesthetics and present the aesthetic meaning of“high”in a more ecological way.
