论海外“中国抒情传统”命题的内在悖反及偏狭性

海外"中国抒情传统"命题经过广泛讨论衍变至今,部分论述逐渐显现出对古典文体功能观念定位的偏失和文体阐释范围的过度扩张,造成了论者内部的相互抵牾,从而导致论述上的内在不稳定性。以王德威为代表的当今汉学界,将中国古典文体论的"兴""怨"概念简单等同对应于西方的"权力反抗""启蒙革命""个人集体"等意识形态内容,仅看到了"个人之情"或个体与外界的紧张关系,使抒情本身工具化为一种政治性的对抗姿态,遮蔽了作为传统之另一面向的"相与之情"这一公共性情感维度,暴露了海外抒情传统论述在古典精神承接上的简单化与偏狭性。这也提醒我们,在中国古典诗学传统的现代转化和现实继承方面,不能简单地"以西律中",也不可盲目地"以中律西",而应格物致知,中西融通,力求中国传统诗学资源的现代性阐释与创造性转换。

On the Contradiction and Narrowness of the Overseas Interpretation of“Chinese Lyrical Tradition”

Ever since the evolution of the subject of"Chinese lyrical tradition"through the extensive discussions among overseas researcherss,part of discussions has gradually blurred the boundaries of the function of classical style and overexpanded the scope of stylistic interpretation,which led to the contradictions among the commentators,resulting in the inherent instability of the discourse.In particular,this paper discusses how the current Sinology,represented by David Der-wei Wang,simply equated the concepts of"Xing"and"Yuan"of classical Chinese stylistic theory with the Western"revolt against power","enlightenment and revolution"and"individual vs collective",which only focused on"personal feelings"and the tension between the individual and the outside world,as a result,the"lyric"itself was transformed into a kind of political posture.The confrontational posture neglected the public emotional dimension of"mutual affection"which is the other side of the tradition.The above-mentioned problems exposed the simplistic and narrow-mindedness of the exposition of overseas lyrical traditions on the succession of classical spirit.This also reminds us that in the modern transformation and realistic inheritance of Chinese classical poetic tradition,we should not simply"use the Western rules to regulate the Chinese way",nor should we blindly"use the Chinese rules to regulate the Western way".What seems more reasonable is to get knowledge through thorough research and integrate Chinese way with Western one,and we should strive for the modern interpretation and creative transformation of traditional Chinese poetic resources.
