“微言”为“隐”,“大义”而“喻”——论“春秋笔法”的隐喻品格

“Sublime Words” is “Hiding”,“Deep Meaning” is “Illustrated”——A Study on the Metaphor Feature of Writing Style of Spring and Autumn Annals

作为儒家诗性言说的方式之一,讲求"微言大义""一字褒贬"的"春秋笔法"是孔子修《春秋》时所遵循的曲折委婉的写作原则。其中,"微言"本身即寓有隐晦而幽深的内涵,而"大义"经过经学家的不断阐发,将其文本内蕴的"正名"思想加以宣扬,这一过程正是《春秋》之隐喻的阐释过程。此外,"微而显""志而晦""婉而成章""惩恶而劝善"四大义例的运用以及《春秋》"史蕴诗心"的特质,也使得"春秋笔法"呈现出约言示义、暗寓褒贬的隐喻品格,从而成为中国古人所崇尚与遵循的典范。这一问题的探究不仅是建构中国本土隐喻理论体系的必经之路,更对于整合中华文化特色、重构中华文化话语,具有重要的学术与实践意义。
