《尚书·尧典》中“诗言志”一语作为中国诗学的开山的纲领,其核心在其所言之“志”。经考定,今本《尧典》的成书年代约在春秋战国之时,但“诗言志”的观念应发生甚早,并且它在当时不是独立的文学观念,而是属于原始乐教的一部分,因此,结合《尧典》内容及原始乐教的形式与目的,“诗言志”之“志”着重强调的是人们的思想感情、心愿、意志,同时作为乐教的一部分,“志”也兼有政治教化的成分。这一观念对当时以及后世的诗论可谓产生了深远的影响。 In Shang Shu Yao Dian, the poem “Shi Zhi Zhi” is the starting point of Chinese poetics. Its core lies in what it says. After examination, the present age of Yao dynasty was about the time of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the notion of “poetic statement” should take place very early, and it was not an independent literary concept at that time, but rather belonged to original music Therefore, combining the content of “Yao Dian Dian” and the form and purpose of the original music education, the “Chi” of “poetry and speech” emphasizes people’s thoughts and feelings, aspirations and intentions, Part of teaching, “Chi” is also a component of political enlightenment. This concept has a far-reaching impact on the poetics of that time and later generations.
