“空白”在中国古典艺术中是一个很重要的审美形态。中国古代文论中虽未明确提出过“空白”这一概念,但诸多有关文学创作、批评的言论的确都言中了空白的无限蕴藉。本文力图探寻宋词这种特殊诗体的内在精蕴,着重讨论“空白”给宋词带来的审美特质——空灵,以及词作为有宋一代文学巅峰的文学精神。 “Blank ” is a very important aesthetic form in Chinese classical art. Although the concept of “blank space” was not clearly put forward in ancient Chinese literary theory, many rhetoric about blank writing and literary criticism indeed contain words. This paper seeks to explore the intrinsic essence of this particular poetic style of Song Ci, focusing on the esthetic qualities - “ethereal” brought to the Song by “blank ” and the word as the literary spirit with the peak of Song literature.
