論章法結構系統──以其陰陽變化作輔助觀察

Structural System in the Organization of Writing A Supplementary Observation on its Yin-Yang Variation

「章法」由「陰陽二元」所形成，以凸顯篇章內容材料的邏輯關係，是含「篇法」在內的。而其結構，一面靠「移位」、「轉位」作橫向的拓展，一面又藉「包孕」作縱向的推深，以組織成完整系統。就在此系統中，由「篇」結構作下徹統合，形成「篇」結構系統；由「章」結構作上徹歸屬，形成「章」結構系統。一般短篇作品，適合將「篇」與「章」合成一個系統；若是長篇作品，那就必須將「篇」與「章」分開來呈現。無論分合，都可藉其陰陽變化所產生之「勢」，以輔助觀察它們對作品意旨與風格之影響，見出章法結構系統的多樣及其價值。

In terms of literary works, the organization of writing is developed by “Yin-Yang dualism” which outlines the logical relation of subject matters. In addition to “chapters”, such a relation also includes the arrangement of “sections”. The structure of a composition is expanded by means of horizontal “shift” and “transfer” as well as vertical “conceiveness” to develop a complete system. The system is constructed downward by sections and upward by chapters to form a structural system. In a short essay, it is appropriate to integrate sections with chapters. In a lengthy article, on the other hand, sections and chapters shall be presented separately. In any case, one can observe the “manner” generated by the variation of Yin and Yang to explore their effects on the motif and style of a literary work.
