“象喻”批评论纲

ACritical Outline of Xiang Yu

在中华文艺批评传统中,“象喻”和“知人论世”“依经立义”等,均为出现早且伴随始终、适用性广且习而不察的原初性批评范式。在古人谈文论艺的批评实践中,但凡与人生精神境界或人之精神状态相关者,皆不能仅仅依靠概念、范畴来阐发,还须借助“象喻”化的运思与言说,这对中华文艺批评传统的形成发挥了重要的形塑作用,同时也是中华思想文化传统具有浓郁的诗性智慧特质与鲜明的社会教化功能的重要原因之一。作为一种原初性批评范式,“象喻”存在着复杂的阐释维度与多维的意义空间,对其研究不仅需要从一种文化的整体视野来观照,而且还必须借助古代修辞学与经典阐释学的相关知识工具。

In terms of traditional Chinese literary criticism,riang yu(using vivid language to interpret profound truths),zhi ren lun shi(know the author and discuss affairs),and yi jing li yi(establishing theories based on the classics)are all original criticism paradigms with long history,continuous consistency,wide application and subtle practice.As an original criticism paradigm,riang yu has complex dimensions of interpretation and multidimensional spaces of meaning.Its research requires not only a holistic cultural perspective,but also a use of knowledge tools in th domains of ancient rhetoric and classical hermeneutics.
