置于中西诗学发展语境中的“想象”一直是古今中外文学批评理论所涉及的重要课题。由于文化历史的差异,中西文论中提到的“想象”这一概念本身,以及基于它的创作实践都不尽相同。本文试图从文化历史源流和情感体验等方面挖掘造成中西不同想象观念的原因及其对诗歌创作实践的影响。 “Imagination”, placed in the context of the development of Chinese and western poetry, has always been an important issue involved in the theory of literary criticism both at home and abroad. Due to the differences of cultural history, the concept of “imagination ” mentioned in Chinese and Western literary theory and the practice of creation based on it all vary. This paper tries to find out the causes of the different imagination between China and the West and its influence on the practice of poetry from the aspects of the origin of culture and history and emotional experience.
