introduce
Zhu Guangqian and Qian Zhongshu are both China scholars with rich western backgrounds.
They all made unique comments on Lessing's masterpiece laocoon.
This paper selects two articles directly commenting on laocoon from two literary theories: On Poetry? Comments on Poetry and Painting: Lessing's Heterogeneity Theory of Poetry and Painting and Seven Pieces? After reading laocoon and combining with their related literary works, this paper analyzes the similarities and differences between the two interpretations and puts forward the author's own views.
one
Lessing's laocoon is a monograph? Poetry? With what? Painting? a book
Painting refers to plastic arts, while poetry refers to poetry and ancient western epics.
In affirming Lessing's contribution, both scholars made pertinent comments.
Zhu Guangqian's comments on the heterogeneity of Lessing's poems and paintings are divided into four parts. He first restated Lessing's main points, and then put forward his own opinions.
The first two sections of Qian Zhongshu's Reading laocoon state the appreciator's own research methods and his basic views on Lessing's theory.
Zhu Guangqian and Qian Zhongshu have deeply realized it? Poetry? With what? Painting? Are two different arts.
However, since poetry and painting are both arts, they should be of the same sex.
The first part of Zhu Guang's essay points out that poetry and painting are all arts with similarities, and they all come from interest and image.
Qian Zhongshu pointed out poetry and painting in "Pipe Cone Compilation"? From the same heart? Have anything in common? The scenery painted is not detailed, and the way of poetry is not expensive. [1] Poetry and painting do not directly convey interest or images, but leave room for thinking in the process of conveying.
two
Secondly, Zhu Guangqian and Qian Zhongshu are very different.
While affirming Lessing's great contribution, the two scholars also pointed out the shortcomings of his theory and gave their own new solutions and supplements. However, there are huge differences between them.
Zhu Guangqian refuted some viewpoints in laocoon, and he was outspoken.
Lessing thinks? Beauty is the law of ancient artists; They avoid ugliness when expressing pain.
? [2] Zhu Guangqian takes Aristotle's suggestion that art also contains ugly elements as strong evidence, pointing out that Lessing's understanding of ideal beauty is biased; Lessing thinks that beauty in painting is more important than real expression, and takes laocoon statue as an example.
Zhu Guangqian, an aesthetician, severely criticized this.
In the article, Zhu Guangqian lists many shortcomings of Lessing's theory, such as ignoring the action narrative in European plastic arts, the relationship between works and authors, and the difference between natural beauty and artistic beauty; He also gives his own experience and answers, pointing out that the reader's second creation and the similarity between poetry and art have not attracted Lessing's attention.
And refute Lessing with concrete examples? Poetry? Views that are only suitable for describing actions in time, such as? The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen? ,? A misty rain in Sichuan, the wind in the city, and the yellow rain in plums? And so on, are incisive and appropriate examples of scenery description in poetry.
Zhu Guangqian was keenly aware of many contradictions implied in Lessing's self-defense, so he untied the knot here, making Lessing's theory richer, more comprehensive and sublimated.
In Zhu Guangqian's view, Lessing's criticism of poetry and painting has its merits. But specifically, many viewpoints are divorced from the actual artistic life.
Qian Zhongshu's laocoon has been neglected in Lessing's theory? Poetry? There are many in the room? Painting? What can't you do, come on? There are pictures in the poem, but they can't be expressed by pictures? The conclusion of [3].
Starting with the analysis of China's classical poems, the author gives examples to convince him.
Lessing believes that poetry is suitable for expressing actions in time and painting is suitable for paving the way in space.
Qian Zhongshu pointed out that poetry is not only suitable for expressing the movement in time, but also for describing the juxtaposition in space without losing the beauty of artistic conception.
Its most representative is Ma Zhiyuan's Jing Tian Sand? The landscape poems of Qiu Si and Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties perfectly explained the extreme quiet beauty depicted in the poems. There are pictures in the poem, but they can't be expressed. Poetry? The field that can be expressed is wider than Lessing thought.
Mr. Zhu Guangqian did not mention this point, which shows that this is an original idea of Mr. Qian.
Mr. Qian is here? There are pictures in the poem, but they can't be expressed by pictures? Under the main points, specifically in painting? Can't you draw it? Many factors, such as inner state, atmospheric scenery, the difference between true and false color words, etc. And these nuances can be conveyed through poetry.
In addition, Lessing believes that plastic arts should be chosen before reaching the peak in action. The most intriguing moment? As the object of expression.
Qian Zhongshu pointed out? A moment of pregnancy? It is often used not only in plastic arts, but also in writing arts.
The author thinks that this technique is common in the short stories of Chinese and foreign ministers. He noticed this phenomenon and compared it with Lessing's theory, which can be said to be another innovation of his, making Lessing's theory more fully supplemented.
three
As a classic of western aesthetics, Lessing's laocoon is still worth reading, but as the two gentlemen pointed out, since such a classic is full of loopholes,
Why is it so attractive to readers? Scholar Liu Ruoyu once put forward in China's Literary Theory that when we analyze any criticism, we can ask a series of questions:
Does he discuss literature from the perspective of a writer or a reader? His interest in art? The universe? What concept? His? The universe? Is it equal to the material world or human society,
Or what? A higher world? , or something else? [4] Lessing discusses poetry and art from the perspective of readers. Lessing is interested in art? The universe? There's no such thing as. A higher world? .
Zhu Guangqian said that his (Lessing's) artistic view seems to be a very shallow realism.
? [5] Mr. Zhu Guangqian hit the nail on the head? Shallow realism? It's no exaggeration.
Qian Zhongshu pays attention to the analysis from the material of poetry, that is, language? Poetry? With what? Painting? Essential difference.
Wellek said in Literary Theory? Literary language has many ambiguities and strong connotations? [6]。
Qian Zhongshu pointed this out? The connotation of height? what's up Why don't you draw? Yes
Some people say that Chinese is the language of poetry because it is ambiguous and rich in connotation.
Lessing saw it? Poetry? Different from the plastic arts materials, it does not deeply analyze poetry. Materials have opened up a vast world for the creation of poetry, such as the images and atmosphere created by the language and characters in poetry, and the abstractness of the language and characters (words, adjectives and metaphors in the psychological state) cannot be presented by the figurative plastic arts.
