白描的潜能——《受戒》语言形象之一

The Potential of Baimiao——Linguistic Image in Initiated into Monkhood

白描,作为一种文学语言表现方式,在《受戒》中得到传承与发展。在传达白描语言的描形、写意、传神语言功能时,汪曾祺将绘画中的骨相比法融入其中,创造出一种简约、空白的语言诗学魅力,而平等视角又将白描对象置于温婉世情当中,体现抒情诗人的人间情怀。《受戒》语言更高的艺术成就在于白描对境界、氛围的营造,其中又深蕴着道家的审美观与语言观。

Baimiao,a simple,straightforward style of literary writing,is constructively employed in Initiated into Monkhood.Wang Zengqi blended baimiao with the guxiangbifa,a technique in painting,to achieve an ideal effect in depicting form,expressing meaning,and effecting vividness,and,as a result,created a poetic linguistic charm which gives us an impression of conciseness and blankness.Nevertheless,this technique depicts images from a level angle and presents before us a picture of warm and harmonious worldly life,and demonstrates the worldly feelings of a lyric poet.The unusual artistic achievement in Initiated into Monkhood lies in use of baimiao in creation of realm and atmosphere,in which a Taoist aesthetic and linguistic conception is embedded.
