现量之美
“现量之美”指自然感兴、不假思索、不掺杂虚妄的审美思维。“现”是当下的意思,“量”是量度、判断标准的意思。王夫之将“现量”这一术语运用到中国古代文艺批评理论中,意在说明古诗中的“长河落日圆”“隔水问樵夫”之类的审美意象,都是诗人对审美对象直接观照、自然感兴的产物。因此,“现量之美”实际上就是一种即景会心、直接感兴、兴会神到的直觉之美。
Beauty of Spontaneous Response
This concept refers to aesthetic appreciation that is natural, spontaneous, and unadulterated. Xian means "appear", and liang means "measurement". Wang Fuzhi applied the term to art and literary criticism to argue that aesthetic images in familiar lines of classical Chinese poems such as "upon the long river the setting sun is round" and "ask the woodcutter across the stream" come from direct observation and spontaneous reaction. Thus the "beauty of spontaneous response" is actually a type of beauty that can be intuitively sensed, arouses interest on the spot, and naturally inspires.
引例
家辋川诗中有画,画中有诗,此二者同一风味,故得水乳调和,俱是造未造、化未化之前,因现量而出之。(王夫之《题芦雁绝句》)(王维的诗中有画的意境,画中有诗的情感,他的诗与画具有相同的风格趣味,因此能够水乳交融,都是在艺术形象和情感产生之前由感官直接感知而得到的。)
Wang Wei's poems contain picturesque images; his paintings contain poetic sentiments. The two share similar stylistic charm, and can blend as naturally as milk and water. They are both obtained directly via the senses, before artistic images are conjured up and emotions stimulated. (Wang Fuzhi: A Collection of Four-line Poems on Reed and Geese)
