摘要
中国古代文论的根本特征是平行性,区别于西方文论的切入性。所谓平行性,指的是古代文论较少采用逻辑、概念、分析、推理等方式直接切入性地表达观点,而常采用一种平行的方式即如比喻、象征、类比、拟人、意境营造、暗示等方式来间接言说,并使言说内容与评论对象平行的特征。平行性使得古代文论范畴与比喻都表现出能指的诗意滑动、无限替换与平行游戏,也使古代文论的诸多特征如朦胧、诗性、生命性、整体性、形象性等得到解释。在这个意义上,诗性思维的本质其实是一种平行性思维,而中国古代文论的终极价值与最高指向则是从平行走向天人合一。平行性特征是由中国古代文论的精神价值取向特征、思维特征和话语特征所决定的。古代文论家将文学作品看成与自己同质平行的生命整体,这也是古代文论区别于西方文论的根源所在。
Parallelism is an essential characteristic of Chinese classical literary criticism theory and is different from the analytic feature of western literary criticism theory. Parallelism refers to expressing ideas or thoughts by metaphor, symbol, analogy, personification, artistic conception and suggestion instead of logic, concept, analysis and inference, so criticism itself can parallel to its criticism object. The category and analogy of Chinese classical literary criticism theory exhibit infinite substitution, poetic slide and parallel game of signifier because of parallelism. Parallelism can explain the obscure, poetic, organic, holistic and imagery features of Chinese classical literary criticism theory. Poetic thinking is fundamentally a kind of parallel thinking. The ultimate highest value of Chinese classical literary criticism theory is from parallelism to unity of nature and humanity. Parallelism is decided by the spiritual value orientation as well as the mode of thinking and discourse of Chinese classical literary criticism theory. Literature is regarded by Chinese classical literary theorists as life entirety which is the same homogenous and parallelling to themselves. It is because of this that Chinese classical hterary criticism theory is basically different from western literary criticism theory.
