中西“火”意象的差异及其分析

A Comparative Analysis of FIRE Images in Western and Chinese Literatures

本文通过中西文学的经典对读,勾勒出中西文学中“火”意象的基本不同,认为西方文学中的“火”具有明显的形上色彩,而中国文学中的“火”则基本存在于现世经验范围之内,但在20世纪双方的情况都有所变化。文章还结合中西早期的哲学美学观对这一现象作出了初步的分析。

With the comparison between Western and Chinese classical literatures , this paper points out that there is a fundamental difference between the two FIRE images. The FIRE image ' in western literature is featured by the obvious spirituality, whereas the FIRE image in Chinese literature is featured by secularity. But the traits of the both images of FIRE have changed more or less in the 20th century. This paper also gives a brief analysis of the difference by borrowing the early aesthetic philosophies in Chinese literature and the west-em literature respectively.
