論鍾惺「以情解詩」的《詩經》評點及其詮釋問題

本文以鍾惺批點《詩經》為例，分析晚明「評點」這一特殊閱讀方式，在閱讀與理解文本時可能造成的影響、效果。這些影響、效果包括幾個層面：一、對詩意或詩旨的理解側重在何處，也即詮釋批點的重點為何。就現存的批點內容來看，鍾惺似乎並不關心三百篇的整體詩意，即鍾惺似乎對《詩》旨有某種程度的理解，並非全然不顧《詩》意。但他更重視的其實是前人所未曾關心的閱讀意趣等層面。二、從閱讀與理解的策略來看，評點這一讀詩「方法」所著重的是哪一方面，即實際操作時，它所要強調、突出的是甚麼。鍾惺說詩主張取性情之「真」，強調詩歌是真實情感的流露，所以論詩與評詩重「情」。然而這種詮釋評點，賦予讀者更大的詮釋空間，而不同讀者對同一文本的理解與體悟不同，所掌握的「情」也不同。三、和傳統經學家說《詩》最大的不同在於，鍾惺如此向讀者展現自己的某種「品味」，和眾人不同的「意趣」的詮釋法。這種解經方式，在《詩經》詮釋史上的意義為何？能起何種影響？是本文最後要論述的。透過上述三個層面的解析，相信能釐清鍾惺評點《詩經》在晚明的意義。
