中国阐释学视域下叶绍泰评点《文心雕龙》

Ye Shaotai’s Commentary on “The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons” from the Perspective of Chinese Hermeneutics

摘要: 从学术史角度梳理，目前《文心雕龙》评点的研究大多集中在曹学佺、杨慎等人，而叶绍泰对《文心雕龙》的评点缺少聚焦和全面分析。叶绍泰的评点一方面肯定了刘勰“宗经”的文学观点，标举风雅和风骨，具有明代学术思潮的特征；另一方面在刘勰思想的基础上发展，提出“通变惟人”、反对“储学”“性情”。从阐释学角度分析，叶绍泰的评点不聚焦文本字句的理解，带有明显的主观性感受，重直觉，突出之处在于结合明代的时代特征。

Abstract: From the perspective of academic history, current research on commentaries of “The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons” has predominantly focused on scholars such as Cao Xuequan and Yang Shen, while Ye Shaotai’s commentary has received limited attention and lacks comprehensive analysis. Ye’s commentary exhibits dual characteristics of Ming Dynasty academic thought. On one hand, it affirms Liu Xie’s canon-centered literary perspective, emphasizing fengya (elegance) and fenggu (strength of character). On the other hand, it expands upon Liu Xie’s ideas by proposing concepts such as “adaptation and innovation lie solely in human agency,” while rejecting rigid “knowledge accumulation” and prioritizing “innate disposition.” From a hermeneutic perspective, Ye’s commentary diverges from literal textual interpretation, instead reflecting distinct subjective sensibilities, intuitive emphasis, and a deliberate integration of Ming-era sociocultural dynamics.
