重探朱熹《楚辭集註》中的賦比興詮釋體系

Wang Yi (fl. 120s) was the first critic to adopt the concept xing ("stimulus") in his reading of the Chuci, while Zhu Zi (1130 - 1200) was the first to systematically apply the hermeneutic schema of fu-bi-xing ("enumeration, analogue, and stimulus") to the Chuci. Under the influence of Wang Yi, the Chuci scholarship of later generations tended to concentrate on the bi-xing allegorical system. However, Zhu Xi's fu-bi-xing theory did not draw enough attention. The present essay examines the comprehensive hermeneutics of Zhu. In practice, Zhu treats fu-bi-xing not merely as three specific rhetorical devices, but, rather, three different threads of expression and thought within every stanza of the poem. Following the practice of his exegesis of the Shijing, Zhu identifies and analyzes the respective fu. bi, and xing elements in the Chuci. Unfortunately, given the distinct structure of the Chuci poems, Zhu's application of the fu-bi-xing schema observed in the Shijing inevitable encounters difficulties in his exegetic work of the Chuci.
