摘 要

孝文化作为一种意识形态，在中国传统文化中占有重要的地位。本文对中国经典诗词中出现的常见的隐喻意象进行了初步探讨，这些隐喻意象在文中被分为以下三类：动物类意象，植物类意象，以及其他意象。本文对古诗词中出现的典型意象进行分析，探讨了诗人在使用这些隐喻意象来表达对父母孝顺时所使用的方式及其原因。“孝”文化的表现形式是多种多样的，这些“孝”文化古诗词中的隐喻意象蕴含了对父母的感激之情，对父母的担忧之思，对父母的思念之感，对父母的尊敬之意，以及对父母的悼念之痛。在这些古典诗词中使用隐喻意象，能使原本抽象难懂的“孝”文化更加得生动形象、明确具体、简单易懂。除此之外，这些隐喻意象也能够营造出诗歌写作的氛围，使读者能感受到诗人之感受，体验到诗人之经历，并能反映出诗人所处时代的文化特征。

当前对于中国经典诗词隐喻意象的研究多停留在翻译技巧的层面，关于文化层面，尤其是“孝”文化层面的研究较少。笔者希望通过此次研究，可以找寻到中国古典诗词中隐喻意象使用的有益之处，明确隐喻意象的作用与效果，并强调“孝”文化在中国的重要意义。此外，本文可能会帮助人们了解到隐喻意象的重要性，从一个新视角来了解孝文化，从而推动孝文化的传播与发展。

Abstract

As an ideology of China, filial piety culture occupies an important part in the Chinese traditional culture. This paper discusses the different metaphorical images commonly appearing in the Chinese classical poetry in three parts, i.e. animal images, plant images and other images. The typical images in the classical poetry are analyzed to study the way and reason in expressing the filial piety to parents. The realizations of filial piety culture are various such as the appreciation of the parents, the worry of the parents, the missing of the parents, the respect of the parents and the condolence of the parents, all embodying in the metaphorical images of the Chinese classical poetry. By using the metaphorical images in the poetry, the abstract matter “filial piety culture” become much more vivid, concrete and easy-understanding. Besides, the utilization of the metaphorical images also contributes to the atmosphere creating in the poetry writing, providing readers the chances to feel what poets feel, and to experience what poets experience. The cultural in the poets’ times can be reflected in the use of the metaphorical images.

Previous studies on metaphorical images in Chinese classical poetry mostly focus on the translation techniques while few of them center on the culture, especially on the filial piety culture. By doing this study, the author hopes to find out the benefits of the metaphorical images using in the Chinese classical poetry, to clarify the effects of the metaphorical images and to stress the importance of the filial piety culture in China. Besides, this paper may help people to know the significance of metaphorical images, and to recognize the filial piety culture from a new perspective, promoting the spread and development of the filial piety culture.
