论长江审美文化的诗意之境

On the Poetic Realm of Yangtze River Aesthetic Culture

作为人文景观,长江是以审美的方式存在于中华民族的历史记忆和情感经验之中的。文人士子的审美感兴与艺术表达赋予万里长江以集体的历史记忆、深厚的民族情感和诗意的文化想象,使长江升华为母亲河的原型意象。作为原型意象,长江与黄河一样,它不是一般意义上的山水意象,而是家园、祖国与中华民族精神的审美象征,蕴含了文化共同体的情怀、记忆和想象。长江是诗意的。诗意长江是一种审美的表意体系,是中华美学精神的文化写照。它不仅以情景交融、虚实相生的山水意象抒情写意,而且善于造境,以形神兼备的整体性和超越性,营造人与自然和谐共生的澄明之境。

The Yangtze River exists in the Chinese nation’s historical memory and emotional experience in an aesthetic way. As an archetype image, like the Yellow River, the Yangtze River is not a landscape image in the general sense but an aesthetic symbol of the homeland, the motherland, and the spirit of the Chinese nation, which contains the feelings, memories and imagination of the cultural community. The Yangtze River is poetic, an aesthetic expression system and a cultural portrayal of the Chinese aesthetic spirit. It is not only lyrical and freehand with the landscape image of blending scene and reality but also good at creating an environment with the integrity and transcendence of both form and spirit, creating a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
