“体势”辨——古代文艺理论学习札记

Comment on the Form and Momentum——A Studying Note to the Chinese Ancient Literary Theory

“体”、“势”、“体势”是中国古代文艺理论中经常使用的概念。“体”是艺术作品所表现出的物象风格。“势”是艺术作品所含蕴的飞动之美,是由欣赏者所感悟到的艺术作品的内在情感的张力。“体势”则是艺术作品的物象形体凭借着虚实节奏的流动,所激荡出的感人的艺术生命的扩张力,它既是审美构成的重要因素,又是对艺术作品进行品评的重要标准。

In Chinese ancient literary theory, the terms such as 揻orm? 搈omentum? 揻orm and momentum?are often referred to. While 揻orm?can be looked upon as the style embodied in a literary work, 搈omentum?can be regarded as the emotional force given out by a reader when he is reading. As for 揻orm and momentum? it can be both an artistic power and an aesthetic pattern.
