On the"Literature Mind"and the"Way of Establishing Literature"From the Perspective of the Continuum Relationship
Studying the terminology of Wen Xin Diao Long from the perspective of continuum relationship,firstly,we be-lieve that the whole theoretical system can be decomposed into a series of core terms,and secondly,we emphasize that the in-terpretation of terminology should always be linked with the purpose of the whole book and the peripheral terminology.In this paper,the terminology is divided into the following categories:"Wen Xin","Sheng Mo"and"Wen De",which are related to the purpose of writing,and"The Way of Establishing Writings","the pattern of the affections","the pattern of sounds","the pattern of shapes","Literary Elegance",etc.,which are related to the general principles of writing,are examined.A series of investigations are carried out to illustrate the continuum of relationships inherent in Wen Xin Diao Long,and to explain these terms in this perspective with some novelty:"Wen Xin"is the"Sheng Mo"of who established the teachings of the Ming Dao and the transmission of the saint's intention by later authors."Dao"refers to the way that the Saints understood as the heart of heaven and earth,and"Wen"refers to the words of the sages which have the function of making the Dao clear and setting up the teaching;"The way of setting up a text has three reasons"means that the fundamental yardstick and aim is to set up a speech.Meaning that the fundamental yardstick and purpose of the establishment of words is to make the Way clear,need to consider the pattern of the affections,the pattern of sounds and the pattern of shapes,the form,the sound into the collection,the sentiment of the collection of both can be said to be"standing"."the way to establish a text is to use words and meanings"means that the intention to pass down the teachings of the Ming Dao must be focused on the accurate use of words and the over-all intention.
