摘要:: 关于文学的社会功能,中国古代文论有“诗缘情”和“诗言志”两种传统,其中,“诗言志”生发叙事传统,赋予文学以载道的使命,体现了对正义价值的追求,并使得中国古典文学具有正义叙事的脉络。该正义叙事具有鲜明的民族特征:受“诗缘情”诗歌传统影响,正义叙事和诗性叙事呈交叉和弥合状态; 受儒家礼制渗透,中国古典文学具有鲜明的道德教化功用,正义叙事背后是内在伦理秩序的构建; 正义叙事反映了我们民族特有的审美文化和独特的语境,中国的阴阳二元思想与起源于结构主义的现代叙事理论有某些相似处。解读正义叙事对理解我们民族的哲学思想和文学叙事理论有重要的方法论意义。

Abstract:: As to the social function of literature, there are two kinds of poetry in classical Chinese literature: Shiyuanqing 诗缘情(poetry expressing emotions)and Shiyanzhi 诗言志(poetry expressing lofty aspirations). The latter, from which our narrative tradition originated, endows literature with the mission to convey truth and introduces narrative of justice into classical Chinese literature, revealing our pursuit of justice. Justice narrative shows distinctive national characteristics. Under the influence of Shiyuanqing, it is closely connected with poetic justice. Due to Confucian ritual theory, the function of moralization is greatly emphasized in classical Chinese literature. Hence, what is behind justice narrative is the construction of our internal ethical order. Also, justice narrative reflects our unique aesthetic taste and cultural context. Chinese yin-yang theory is kind of similar to modern narrative theory originating from structuralism. Interpreting justice narrative is of methodological significance for understanding our philosophy and theory of literary narrative.
