从对才性品评的疏离看韩愈碑文的艺术创变

Not Writing in Method of Talent-Character Evaluation: Artistic Innovation in HAN Yu's Inscriptions

  • 摘要: 对蔡邕碑文所树立并深刻影响中古碑志创作的人物才性品评笔法,韩愈碑文表现出了明显的疏离。蔡邕碑文深受才性品评思想影响,追求对碑主的德行、政事、学问、才能、气质等进行全面叙述,体现了才性品评对“兼材”与“通人”的崇尚;其语言“清词转而不穷”,以丰富的品评词汇以及类比、排比等灵活多样的表达方式,对碑主进行全面记叙与刻画。韩愈的碑文不追求对碑主进行面面俱到的“通人”刻画,而是着重突出其忠义仁爱的品性和奇倔的性情,在语言上也极大地摆脱了蔡邕碑文所树立的品评语言传统。蔡邕碑文对唐代碑文创作有显著影响,韩愈之前及同时代的古文作家,基本没有完全摆脱蔡邕碑文的影响。韩愈碑文具有巨大的独创性,对后世影响深远。

     

    Abstract: HAN Yu's inscriptions are not written in the method of talent-character evaluation, which is characteristic of CAI Yong's inscriptions and popular in the Medieval inscription-writing. CAI Yong's inscriptions present a summation of the monumental figures, which includes introduction of virtue\political achievments\scholarship\talent\character, etc. The "Jiancai(Compound Talents" "Tongren(Versatile Person)" is highly respected in the talent-character evaluation. The language art of CAI's Inscriptions is creative. Evaluation words and phrases\analogy and parallelism are used to make a comprehensive writing of the monumental figures. HAN Yu's Inscriptions don't pursue a comprehensive writing of the figures. He paid more attention to loyalty\benevolence and unique character. The language style of HAN's Inscription is quite different from CAI Yong's evaluation style. CAI Yong's inscriptions had a significant influence on the creation of inscriptions in the Tang Dynasty and most of the writers before or during Tang Dynasty were greatly influenced by CAI Yong. HAN Yu's artistic innovation in inscriptions writing is unique in Tang and sets a new paradigm for inscription-writing which has enduring popularity.
