“感物而动”与创作主体的经验

“Motivation by Physical Objects”and Experience of Creation Subjects

“感物而动”是就文学创作主体与“物”的关系而言,也是就文学创作的发生形态而言。物之所以能够感人兴情,是因为物在民族的生产生活中,因先民的经验而融入了民族的情感,由“自然之物”而演变为“文化之物”,具有了文化符号的属性。物的这种属性通过民族生产生活和文化典籍而世代传承,沉淀在民族的意识和潜意识之中。当没有主体“触物”时,物依然作为自然之物而存在;而当主体一旦对这物有所“触”时,其蕴含的民族文化属性便被激活,使主体触物便能够产生情思。而主体之所以能感物而动,是主体有着先民与物关联的类似经验,与先民在共同的生产生活中形成的价值取向背离或者类同,从而使主体面对某些物色时,产生与先民同情、同心的顺向或反向的情感活动,形成创作冲动。故感物而动,是创作主体与先民心灵的共振。从审美角度看,在对物色的观照过程中,美不存在于客观的自然,而只存在于人们经验过的“文化的自然”;也不存在于主体的主观,而是存在于主体经验与物色被经验的关系之中。

“Motivation by physical objects”is not only a phenomena in terms of the relationship between the subject of literary creation and“physical objects”,but also in terms of the occurrence of literary creation.The reason why physical objects can move people and inspire feelings is that in the national production and life,physical objects have been integrated into the national emotion due to the experience of ancestors,and have evolved from“natural things”to“cultural things”,which has the attribute of cultural symbols.This attribute of physical objects is inherited from generation to generation through national production,life and cultural classics,and is deposited in the national consciousness and subconsciousness.When there is no subject“touching things”,things still exist as natural things;Once the subject that“touches”the physical objects,the national cultural attribute contained in it will be activated,so that the subject can produce feelings when touching the physical objects.The reason why the subject can feel physical objects and be moved is that the subject has similar experience related to the ancestors and things,which deviates from or is similar to the value orientation formed by the ancestors in the common production and life.Therefore,when the subject faces some things,it produces forward or reverse emotional activities that are sympathetic and concentric with the ancestors,forming creative impulses.Therefore,motivation by physical objects is the resonance between the creative subject and the ancestors'hearts.From the aesthetic point of view,in the process of looking for things,beauty does not exist in the objective nature,but only in the“cultural nature”that people have experienced;It does not exist in the subjective experience of the subject,but in the relationship between the subject experience and the search experience.
