摘要
欧洲中世纪的骑士制度不仅是欧洲军事贵族制度的重要组成部分,而且骑士是欧洲社会、国家以及军事、政治活动的主体力量,作为“上帝的战士”体现出一种文化精神,直接影响了欧洲中世纪的社会风貌和美学观念的演化。骑士制度作为一种崇高的现世生活的形式可以视为一种带有伦理理想外表的美学理想。骑士文化中的典雅爱情精神不仅构成了中世纪骑士文学的主要内容和基本格调,而且也是欧洲社会精神生活中所追求的美学理想,显示了一种追求精神与肉体(或体魄、或长相、或武功)美之统一和谐的审美观念,而爱情就是这二者之间的中介。骑士文化鲜明地体现了欧洲中世纪时期的美学精神由神学信仰向世俗价值的审美倾向的转移。
Chivalry as a sort of form of lofty earthborn can be regarded as a kind of aesthetic ideal with the surface of ethical ideal. The spirit of elegant affection of Knight’s culture not only make up of primary contents and elementary pattern of medieval literature but also is the aesthetic ideal which is pursued in European social and spirit life. It shows a sort of idea that pursues unification and harmony between spirit beauty and flesh beauty and the affection is the agency of both sides. Knight’s culture embodies brilliantly the transfer of aesthetic trend of European aesthetic spirit from theological belief to worldly value.
