感事—叙事连续体:抒情诗歌中“事”的修辞形态

Emotional Narrative Continuum:The Rhetorical Status of “Events” in Chinese Lyric Poetry

由于诗歌享有的正统和主流地位,中国文学传统常被笼统定义为“抒情”,但诗歌中不只有“情”,还包含“事”的成分,而且往往“感事”(缘“事”而抒情志)与“叙事”(对“事”本身进行讲述)并存。近年来,关于抒情诗歌中叙事问题的讨论越来越多,但尚未深入讨论“感事”与“叙事”的区别。笔者构想了一个“感事—叙事”连续体,其中,纯感事和纯叙事分居两极,而大量的诗歌作品则居于两极之间,或靠近感事,或靠近叙事。有了“感事—叙事”连续体概念,读者可以超越“感事”和“叙事”二元对立,对具体诗歌(乃至所有文学作品)中“事”的修辞形态进行准确定位,帮助读者更好地认识诗歌作品。

On the rhetorical form of “events” in lyric poetry due to the orthodox and mainstream status of poetry,the Chinese literary tradition is often generally defined as “Lyric”,but poetry contains not only “feelings”,but also “events”,and often “feelings”(lyric by “events”) and “Narration”(describing the “events”themselves) coexist.In recent years,there have been more and more discussions on narrative issues in lyric poetry,but the difference between “emotion” and “Narration” has not been discussed in depth.The author conceives a “sentimental narrative” continuum,in which pure sentimental and pure narrative are at two poles,while a large number of poetry works are between the two poles,either close to sentimental or narrative.With the concept of “emotional narrative” continuum,readers can transcend the binary opposition between “emotion” and “narration”,accurately locate the rhetorical form of “events” in specific poems(and even all literary works),and help readers better understand poetry works.
