老子美学思想的文化根源及其开显

老子由于受到巫风浓厚的陈楚地域文化影响,其美学思想体现为巫史精神融合的特点;随着华夏地域文化大融合的趋势出现,老子又融入了以商文化为特征的《归藏》思想。老子的美学思想体现是巫史精神和《归藏》文化的融合,而这种融合,造就了老子美学思想的神秘观念、重母权尚阴柔的特点,也是老子对其时代审美反思的原动力。     

从天文星象说到牵牛织女——《诗经》民俗文化论之三

在中国古典诗歌领域内,以天文星象入诗自《诗经》始。表现于《诗经》中带有神秘和朦胧色彩的宇宙意识,其来源可以溯之于远古就已具有的观象授时的天文知识和文化基础。星宿文化是人类文明与文化的重要表象之一。早在远古时期,我们的祖先就对天文星象有所观测和研究,并用以定方位、定季节和定时间了。《史记》载古帝颛顼(高阳氏)命火     

D.H.劳伦斯短篇小说中的酒神精神研究

D.H.劳伦斯写了许多优秀短篇小说,例如：《菊馨》、《玫瑰园中的影子》、《肉中刺》、《马贩子的女儿》及《普鲁士军官》,而评论界忽视了这5部小说的之间的共性。这5部小说都从不同角度体现了弗里德里希.威廉.尼采的酒神精神。本文认为,这5部小说的酒神精神主要依据尼采《悲剧的诞生》中关于酒、音乐、幻象这三个主题来表达人类现代文明对人性的泯灭。     

《楚辞》《山海经》灵巫之互证——《楚辞》《山海经》神话比较研究之四

中国古代社会有着繁荣的巫风习俗。《楚辞》《山海经》为我们保存了中国古代巫风习俗的原貌。“九歌”是具有神话性质的巫术性的宗教歌舞,《楚辞.九歌》则是一部真切记载原始巫风文化的宝贵文献。“招魂”是中国古代民间流行的一种以巫师为中心的宗教活动,“九招”“九代”则是先秦巫师举行招魂仪式运用的具有神秘性质的舞蹈。从文化渊源上看,南楚浓烈的巫风文化正是对殷商巫风基本内容的继承,《楚辞》《山海经》则是这种殷商巫风的活化石。     

论伯勒萨德《神车》的诗美特征

杰耶辛格尔·伯勒萨德 (1889—— 1937)是印度现代文学史上著名的诗人、剧作家和小说家。他对印地语文学做出的贡献使他得以与普列姆昌德齐名。1伯勒萨德的诗作中往往弥漫着一种神秘主义、唯美主义和强烈的伤感主义色彩。这逐渐形成了他特有的浪漫风格。印地语文学界称之为阴影主义。一般认为 ,阴影主义神秘、伤感的美学特征更接近诗歌创作。其实细细品味 ,不难感受到伯勒萨德的小说也同样濡染了诗一般的浪漫情怀。印度古典短篇小说主要存在于《五卷书》、《嘉言集》、《故事海》以及《佛本生故事》等民间文学中 ,但这种故事文学的传统在古…     

浓郁:《红楼梦》诗词的佛道色彩

《红楼梦》诗词，其意蕴博大繁富，其表现手法多彩恰切，其文化气脉贯通古今。而佛、道精神的有机融会，更使诗词具有了一种迷离神秘的色彩。曹雪芹深知，作为创作，应该吸收人类历史上的一切文化精华，融会贯通，再铸新品。在《红楼梦》诗词中，他不但批判地继承了中国的孔孟文化、楚骚文化、唐宋文化、元明清文化等，而且吸收了宗教文化，如老庄文化、佛教文化等，使其诗词在意象上具有“《山海经》的浑沌苍茫，在章法上具有《易经》的无穷变幻，在风格上则如同《诗经》中原始民歌那样纯朴清新”①。特别是他对道家“无用无为”、“自私快…     

当月热读

《国家地理·神秘中国》(《神秘中国》创作组编著,长春出版社)包括《遗落的名人往事》、《打开千年古墓》等十册,透过摄像机的镜头,历史不再是龟甲兽骨上凝固不变的抽象字符,不再是古墓墙壁上褪色剥落的陈旧壁画,更不仅是青史古卷中遥远模糊的古老背影。它们鲜活生动,一如我们今日的生活。     

论《白鹿原》中的传统文化元素

《白鹿原》真实地还原了20世纪中国国民的生存状态,挖掘了民族传统文化的多重元素,如儒家仁义与忠孝文化、宗法家族文化、农耕文化、传宗接代文化、男权文化与女性贞洁文化、民间神秘文化、土匪文化、传统民俗文化等,正面描写了仍存活于民间生活状态中的传统价值体系,塑造了具有儒家文化人格魅力的白嘉轩形象,也揭示了传统文化对人性的种种压抑与迫害等负面因素。     

挖掘、利用"西夏历史文化",发展旅游经济

西夏王陵和西夏历史文化是人们向往探索的旅游胜地和文化宝库,本文通过分析论证西夏王朝历史、文化的所谓“神秘”和“神秘论”的真正原因,进一步提出了如何探索、挖掘和利用西夏文化来发展旅游经济的方法。     

浅谈齐地《韶》乐的中和之美

周立国之初,周公把《韶》为宗庙祭祀之乐,当时"自卿大夫师瞽以下,皆选有道德之人,朝月习业,以教国子,学歌九德"[1]。姜太公封齐后,《韶》乐传入齐国。先齐音乐已达到了很高的水平,加之齐人天性豁达自由,齐文化有较强的开放性、兼容性,因此,《韶》乐在齐国被改造、俗     

明代徽商的文学创作

明清时期徽商的文学创作活动无疑是历史本原的组成部分,具有或高或低的审美价值。＂徽商＂或者＂徽州商帮＂的兴起乃在成化、弘治年间,徽商文学创作也开始于这个时间以后。鲍弼当是较早见于记载的有诗歌创作的徽商,其诗在一定程度上表现了漂泊异处他乡的商人思念亲人和家乡的情感。郑作在宋梁一带经商的时间大约在弘治、正德年间,既是较早外出经营的徽商,也是较早与文学发生关联的徽商。嘉靖、万历时期,徽商的创作势头不减,在徽商聚集的扬州和杭州等地,徽商成为文坛上的活跃人物。徽商走出去以后,他们的文化姿态立即表现得令人侧目,由此也决定了明代徽商之于文学关系的特点：一是喜爱文学并积极创作的徽商人数众多;二是徽商刚刚崛起之时,就与文人士大夫有了密切的交往,在文学创作以及文学观方面都深受他们的影响;三是在地域上分布较广;四是与徽商发展轨迹同步,但是到了晚明时期,随着文人士大夫对商人了解、理解程度的加深,特别是徽商获得巨额财富以后,儒、商之间才建立起平等的关系,才有了两者的＂契合＂。

释“藜”、“莱”、“藋”

古代的蔬菜是农史、饮食史研究的重要内容,以《说文解字.艸部》所收＂藜＂、＂莱＂、＂藋＂为例,单看解释,三字之间并无直接的联系。而通过考察可知,＂藜＂是古人常食较粗劣的野菜,＂莱＂为藜的别称。＂藋＂与＂藜＂同类,其＂灰藋＂一词得名之由是因其叶背面灰白且植株高大,并非因＂枝叶翘趯＂而名。＂灰藋＂后世方言音变也称＂灰涤＂、＂灰条＂。     

论常遇春的信仰与族属问题

回族民间传说和不少学术著作都认为常遇春是回回人。但从常遇春长辈的名讳、常遇春家族的行为方式及有关常遇春后代的资料、元代色目人的地位等方面来看,常遇春不太可能是穆斯林,因而也不太可能是回回人。     

清儒三家《诗》辑佚成就述略

清代三家《诗》辑佚工作分为三期:范家相《三家诗拾遗》、陈氏父子《三家诗遗说考》分别代表了清初及中叶的研究成果,清末王先谦《诗三家义集疏》则为历来搜集、研究三家《诗》的集大成之作。研究这三家的辑轶工作应尽可能联系当时的学术背景,考论诸家著述的成因、得失和承传关系,为清代三家《诗》集佚史理清脉络,并为后世的研究提供参考。     

也论常遇春的信仰与族属问题——与问永宁先生商榷

问永宁先生的论文《论常遇春的信仰与族属问题》没有拿出新的资料,其推测性的结论完全建立在一知半解的猜测之中,逻辑混乱、概念错误、缺乏回族常识是这篇文章不能令人信服的主要原因,较对原文中所有的论据一一反驳,并通过常遇春后裔、家谱等论据证明常遇春为回回人无疑。
