"Speech And Intention" In "Wen Xin Diao Long"

Liu Xie's "Wenxin diaolong" is " Large scale,precise thinking",and its exposition of issues related to "words and meanings" is indeed an important achievement in ancient Chinese literary theory.Wenxin diaolong was written in Qi and Liang dynasties.The theory of "words and meanings" advocated by Wenxin diaolong is quite different from the popular ideas,but more inclined to "words can do its best".The unique significance of Wenxin diaolong from the perspective of the relationship between words and meanings may be helpful to the research of the middle ancient literature in related fields.Since the early Qin Dynasty,"words and meanings" has attracted much attention.At the time of Han Dynasty,the study of Chinese Confucian chapters and sentences was prosperous,but the research on the relationship between words and meanings was quite silent.In the Wei and Jin Dynasties,this issue became one of the core topics in the field of knowledge.Liu Xie's unique idea of "words and meanings" is that he is neither an absolutist of "words can fulfill meanings" nor an absolutist of "words can't fulfill meanings".A comprehensive review of Wenxin diaolong shows that it is a dialectical unity of "words can fulfill meanings" and "words can't fulfill meanings".Liu Xie's view of words and meanings is mainly based on Confucianism,so it is still inclined to the theory of "words can do its best" when it realizes the limitations of words in the process of expressing meanings.At the same time,in order to solve the practical problem of "words can't fulfill meanings" and achieve the effect of " words can fulfill meanings ",Liu Xie analyzed the creative conception,work style,content form,genre and other aspects in Wenxin diaolong.In short,Wenxin diaolong completes the poetic transformation of "the distinction between words and meanings",and promotes the transformation from the metaphysical proposition of "the distinction between words and meanings" to the aesthetic proposition of "there's an end to the words,but not to their message",which lays a solid foundation for the study of literary theory in later generations.
