文質彬彬·每日好詞語 ? 但見性情，不睹文字

　　但見性情，不睹文字

　　文學作品完美呈現作者的本性真情，讓讀者全身心感受到性情的真與美，而感覺不到文字的存在。由唐代詩僧皎然提出。此語一是強調性情為本，文字只是工具；二是強調寫作者與接受者都要得意忘言；三是突出文學藝術以心會心的特點，只有通過心靈對話才能激活言語之外的多重意蘊。

　　To Impress Readers with True Feelings Oblivious of Its Wording

　　This happens when a literary work reveals to its reader the truth and beauty of its author's innermost feelings, to the point that the reader becomes oblivious to the wording. Such an idea was first raised by the Tang Dynasty poet-monk Jiaoran. It emphasizes three points. First, the core value of literature is to express one's true feeling; the wording is only a tool. Second, both the author and reader should focus on the meaning while forgetting the words. Third, tacit understanding is crucial to art and literature. Only through dialogue between souls can a variety of illocutionary implications be activated.

　　引例 兩重意已上，皆文外之旨，若遇高手如康樂公，覽而察之，但見情性，不睹文字，蓋詣道之極也。（釋皎然《詩式·重意詩例》）（詩句具有兩重以上的意蘊，都屬于言外之旨。如果碰到謝靈運這樣的高人，仔細閱讀他的作品，你會只感受到詩人的本真性情，不會注意他的文字，這大概是因為他的作品已經臻至詩歌創作的最高境界了。）

　　Poetic lines carry two or more implications, lying outside of language itself. If you encounter a truly great poet such as Xie Lingyun, you will be struck with his bold and uninhibited expression of feeling and forget his wording. This is probably because his works have reached the highest level of poetic excellence. (Shi Jiaoran: Poetic Styles)
