《辨骚》篇属于《文心雕龙》"文之枢纽"部分。"辨"与"辩"通,意在辨析与楚骚直接相关的若干问题,主要涉及三个方面:一是辨"师范屈宋"之正途,救"效骚命篇"之讹势;二是辨楚骚参酌古今、自铸伟辞之特质,明其渊源所自,作为执正驭奇、通变创新之轨则;三是辨汉世楚骚品评之偏颇,以"四同四异"力驳"褒贬任声,抑扬过实"之论,为客观、合理地评价楚骚之双重特性,奠定了必要的认识基础。此外,刘勰身处魏晋子学一度复兴之后,《文心雕龙》取资于先秦诸子"飞辩"之术,而墨家辩学之传统,对《辨骚》篇影响尤为明显。
The chapter “Distinguishing the LiSao” is the pivot of The Literary Mind and the Carvingof Dragons. The meaning of “Bian” (辨, distinguish) could be considered as the same as that of the character “Bian” (辩,debate). The character“ distinguish” is used to distinguish problems of the LiSao. It has three aspects. The first aspect is to distinguish “the right way to learn from Qu Yuan and Song Yu”and to correct the wrong tendency of “emulating the LiSao to compose pieces”. The second is to distinguish the features of Chu-ci (楚 辭, The Songs of Chu ), that is, consulting ancient and contemporary literature forms and creating brilliant words, in order to underst and how Chuci origins. The under-standing could be used as a principle of “graspingthenormalandreiningthenovel;under-standing the change and creating the new”. The third aspect is to distinguish the partiality of the Chuci critics in the Han Dynasty, rejecting the discussions of “praising or belittling according to the surface, over depreciating or appreciating the facts” by the theory of“ four similarities and four differences”. This lays a foundation for evaluating the dual nature of Chuci objectively. In addition, Liu Xie lived in the period after the revival of the learning Pre-Qin thinkers which had been prevalent through the Late Han to Wei and Jin periods. The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons often refers to “methods of debate” of Pre-Qin thinkers. The influence of Moist dialectics on “Distinguishing the LiSao” is particularly ob-vious.
