中国古代文学图像研究的范畴与思路——试析赵宪章教授《文学图像论》的方法意义

On the Research Scope and Idea about the Images of Ancient Chinese Literature——Explain the Methodological Significance of Professor Zhang Xian- Zhang’s Text-Image Theory

依据赵宪章教授《文学图像论》中有关“语图关系”的论述,可将中国古代文学图像之研究对象概括为“图像”及“‘源文’与衍生文”。前者可划分为作者图像、作品图像、衍生图像三种类型,后者主要包括生成图像所据之文学、史学诸文辞,以及图像传播接受过程中衍生的序跋题赞等文辞。开展中国古代文学图像研究,需先系统清理这两类文献,继而进行古代文学与其衍生个案图像、跨媒介图像“关系”研究,以及古代文学图像异代传承与流变研究,并历时呈现古代文学图像产生、发展、流变进程及主要特征,在此基础上,讨论其之于文学的价值与意义,以获得对中国古代文学的全面理解和深入认知。赵宪章教授《文学图像论》给当下中国古代文学图像研究中基本范畴的界定与研究思路的清理提供了理论指引,具有重要的方法论意义。

According to Text-Image Theory relationship in Zhang Xianzhang’s works, researchers can divide the research objects of ancient Chinese literary images into two types: images and the characters from which the images originated and the characters derived from them. The former can be divided into three types: the image of the author, the image of the work and the derived image. The latter mainly includes the literary and historical texts from which the image is generated, as well as the derived texts in the process of image transmission and acceptance. To study ancient Chinese literary images, it is necessary to first sort out these two kinds of materials systematically, and then to study the relationship between ancient literature and its derived case images and cross-media images, as well as the inheritance and evolution of ancient literary images, so as to present the generation, development and evolution of ancient literary images and their main characteristics. On this basis, researchers discuss the value and significance of these images for literature, so as to obtain a comprehensive understanding and in-depth cognition of ancient Chinese literature. Professor Zhang Xianzhang’s Text-Image theory provides theoretical guidance for the definition of basic categories and research ideas in the study of ancient Chinese literary images, and has important methodological significance.
