A Short Comment on the Font Narrative of the Chinese Character

  • Received:2010-05-11 Online:2010-09-15 Published:2010-09-15

摘要:

董乃斌先生《论中国文学史抒情和叙事两大传统》(刊上海《社会科学》2010年第3期)一文中提及“古老的中国文字,就是为记事——叙事而产生,而进化,而成熟的”观点,并有所示例。班固汉字“六书说”中有“象事”、“象意”两项,董说也许可与之印合。董说似还可以拓展许慎“六书说”中有关“会意”等构字法的诠释思路,为汉字学研究提供一种新的视角。故在借鉴总结前人说法的基础上,试对汉字与生俱来的象形表义、音义结合、立体叙事的特点进行粗浅解析,以回应补充董先生的观点,并说明中国文学的叙事传统之源远流长和植根之深厚。

Abstract:

 Mr. Dong Naibin' s "Two Great Traditions of Lyric and Narrative in the History of the Chinese Literature", published in Shanghai' s Social Sciences of No. 3, 2010, proposes a theory of "the old Chinese character is produced, evolved and developed for record and narrative", and gives some authentic examples. This theory actually responds the two sayings of the "selfexplanatory" and the "associative compounds" in Ban Gu' s "SixScript Theory". Dong' s theory also develops the interpretation of such configuration as the "associative compounds" in Xu Shen' s "SixScript Theory", thus providing the research for the Chinese character with a new perspective. Based on the previous theories, this author tries to give a short analysis of the inherent features of the Chinese character such as the pictographic meaning, the combination of sound and meaning, and the threedimensional narrative, so as to respond Dong' s theory and display the long tradition and deep root of the Chinese literary narrative.
