英文摘要 | This essay is a response to a tendency in recent comparative studies on Western and traditional Chinese theories of language to overemphasize the influence of the Daoist view of language in Chinese culture, to the effect of isolating it from the larger historical and intertextual contexts. By tracing the early development of language theories in the Confucian and Daoist traditions, it contends that the Confucian view of language has exerted a dominant impact on the culture, although its lack of ontological concern also prevents it from engaging the Daoist polemic on its own ground. It points out that the vigorous ontological investigation of Laozi and Zhuangzi begins to lose its edge in the Neo-Daoist era, when the “inadequacy of language" becomes the institutionalized doctrine of the elites. The essay focuses, however, on the “aesthetic turn” in Chinese thinking on language in the Six Dynasties (as typically shown in the critical works of Cao Pi, Lu Ji, Liu Xie, and Zhong Rong) resulting in a new concept of the aesthetic and creative potential of language, which may be considered a form of counter-discourse against both the Confucian and the Daoist claims on language. It is also in the Six Dynasties that the Daoist valorization of the “enlightened silence” begins to be transformed into an aesthetic theory of poetic expression. |
