本居宣长“物哀说”背后所见的中国思想

Chinese Thoughts Behind Motoori Norinaga’s Thought of Mono No Aware

本居宣长的“物哀说”与日本中古时期的“物哀”思想不同,具有反日本朱子学的诉求,简言之即主“情”去“理”,求“真”反“假”。然而研究发现,该“物哀说”却化用了一些中国思想。其中虽有宣长的误读,但可让人联想到当时中日两国思想家可能存在着某种共同的精神追求,以及中国的一些思想可能也促使宣长理论生成、发展。对此进行分析,可以看出中日两国思想的部分关系,对其间内涵相契的历史追求有进一步的了解和认识,从而揭开更多尚未被认识的学术谜团。

Motoori Norinaga puts forward the literature concept of mono no aware,in which Norinage proposes to pursue the truth and oppose behaving affectedly,to advocate the theory of emotion and override or bypass reason,and to eliminate Chinese customs and some self-opinionated remarks of Chinese people,showing a clear gesture of confrontation with China.However,the further study shows that in objecting to the warrior ethic and neo-Confucian’s thought,Norinaga introduces many Chinese literary thoughts intentionally or unintentionally.Consequently,it is doubtful that some Chinese literary thoughts are one source which promotes the formation and development of Norinaga’s theory and he is suspected of behaving affectedly.The description of this process is intended to see clearly the relationship between Chinese thought and literature and Japanese ones and how the interaction and separation processes are started between China and Japan,thus knowing and understanding the history of conflict and fusion of Chinese and Japanese thoughts more deeply to uncover more mysteries which have been not fully understood.
