陸機賦論探微

Abstract

In the Wen-fu 文賦 written by Lu Ji, Fu is briefly interpreted as a genre of "embodying objects and showing clear style" 體物而瀏亮. Why did Lu Ji use "embodying objects"--a new concept for Fu instead of other old phrases such as "being affected by objects" 感物? This might be under the influence of his time's philosophy--Xuan xue 玄學. In the early Taoistic writings, the subtle Tao 道 was discribed to be too difficult to grasp, and one could near it only by "embodying" it. In the Wei-Jin Period, this kind of idea was developed. To the relation between "embodying the Tao" and clearness or brightness, special attention was paid by Ji Kang 嵆康. So there would be two common points of "embodying objects" and "embodying the Tao". One is that both subjects should controle themselves' feeling just like a transparent body to have a throughout survey of the world : the other is that both the process of "embodying" and its result interdepends each other. Still, compared with Cao Pi 曹丕's Dian-lun Lun-wen 典論論文, paying more attention to distinguish one genre from others is the special feature of Wen-fu. Although among Lu Ji's own pieces of Fu there is not just one type or style as what he interpreted, Lu Ji's idea of Fu shows one-sidedness with deep meaning. Therefore it should take a certain position in the history of theory of Fu.
