儒家身体观与当代文学身体写作的义理边界

The Confucian Concept of Body and the Deontic Boundary of Body Writing in Contemporary Literature

儒家身体观早已有之。在先秦时,已呈现出“身—心—性—情—欲”较为清晰的结构图式。这种结构图式在后世儒家得到进一步展开,主要表现为“本—道”之变、性情之论、理欲之辨三个理论主题。儒家视野中的身体观,为当代文学的身体写作指出了应当遵循的义理边界。当代文学身体写作不能脱离儒家身体观的历史脉络,应在“身—心—性—理—欲”的结构图式中展开,须“身—儒—文”互动形成正面文学效应。儒家身体观和当代文学创作之间所具有的内在关联性,是我们评判古今文学相通的重要依据。

The Confucian concept of body has long existed.In the pre-Qin period,there was a relatively clear structural pattern of“body-mind-nature-emotion-desire”.This structural schema was further developed in later Confucianism,mainly manifested in three theoretical themes:the transformation of the“original Dao”,the theory of temperament,and the differentiation of reason and desire.The Confucian concept of body points out the deontic boundary that should be followed by“body writing”in contemporary literature which is believed to be integrated with the historical context of the Confucian concept of body,and should be carried out within the structural schema of“body-mind-nature-emotion-desire”,following the positive literary effect developed by the interaction of body,Confucianism and literature.The inherent correlation between the Confucian concept of body and contemporary literary creation is an important basis for us to evaluate the connection between ancient and modern literature.
