摘要
鱼是中国文化当中一个寓意极为丰富的符号。尽管在民间,鱼作为丰足的象征、情爱的具象而受到广泛喜爱,但是在古代文人们的作品中,鱼的形象却呈现出了许多有别于民间的文化色彩。由于古代文人社会地位的不确定性,文人们对于鱼有着极为特殊的情感,他们将鱼视为与自己同命运的生物,因而由鱼生发出了种种生命感喟。文人们是熟悉民间鱼文化的,然而他们不满足于用自己的才华去简单地继承和传播先民们的鱼文化,而是更注重通过对于鱼的描绘来抒发那些属于自己的情志,创造出带有本阶层特色的鱼文化。在他们的笔下,鱼不仅是富足的象征,更具有高贵脱俗的意蕴;它既是文人自身的形象代言,也是文人们所渴望的悠游生活的具象。可以说,鱼既是文人观照自我、表现自我的工具,也是他们进行哲学思辨的依凭。较之于民间文学中的鱼文化,中国古代文人作品中的"鱼"的形象有着更为丰富的哲学与美学内涵。
Fish is a sign with rich implications in Chinese culture.Although fish is widely loved by people as a symbol of abundance and love,get in the ancient literary works,fish culture took on different colors.Because of the uncertain social status of ancient scholars,they had a very special emotion for fish,considering they were in the same boat,and therefore expressed various thoughts and feelings about life.Scholars were familiar with the folk culture of fish,but they were not content to use their talents to simply inherit and spread the ancestors’fish culture,and paid more attention to expressing their own emotions by describing the fish and created the fish culture with their own class characteristics.In their writings,fish was not only a symbol of wealth,but with more noble and refined implications;it not only embodied the author’s own image,but also symbolized the leisure life that people aspired to live.Therefore,it can be said that fish was not only a tool for scholars’self-reflection and self-expression,but also the basis on which they explored the world.Compared to a widespread folk culture of fish,the fish culture in literary works has a more abundant connotation of philosophy and aesthetics.
