静静是古代文献中的一位姑娘。《诗》中“静女其姝”说的就是她了。不过静静这个称呼,大概可以追溯到《礼记》中《大学》一篇。其中的文字是这样的:
知止,而后有定定,而后能静静,而后能安安,而后能虑虑,而后能得。
简单说,止,就是居住的意思,文艺一点,就是栖居。所以《诗》说:“缗蛮黄鸟,止于丘隅。”又说:“邦畿千里,维民所止。” 这是说,鸟住那儿,大家伙住这儿。荷尔德林诗说:“Voll Verdienst, doch dichterisch,/ wohnet der Mensch auf dieser Erde.” Wohnet就是止的意思,所以一种通常的翻译是:充满劳绩,人,诗意地“止于”这片大地之上。但其实verdienen是挣钱的意思,也有信贷的意味,这就是说:付足了首付贷足了款,人在这大地上就有地方住了——这仍然是一件“诗意”美好的事情。《大学》这段话的意思也是相仿的:有房了,能有地方住了,就可以先后有定定、静静、安安、虑虑四个姑娘。这样以后,就可以得到很多很多了。所以《大学》接着说:“自天子以至庶人,一是皆以修身为本。”显然,下一件事就是去参加健身活动了。这一句读,我是在蒋寅先生
《金陵生小言》(桂林:广西师范大学出版社,2004年)
中读到的,转眼已经八年多了。蒋寅先生在讨论中引述了一位学者的看法。他认为这个文本,句末夺一得字,就是说最后应该是“而后能得得”,仿佛觉得“得得”是第五位姑娘。这种理解显然是不对的。因为《古兰经》说:“……你们可以择你们爱悦的女人,各娶两妻、三妻、四妻;如果你们恐怕不能公平地待遇她们,那末,你们只可以各娶一妻……”这里的“各娶两妻、三妻、四妻”,和而后能静静、安安、虑虑差不多是一个意思。换而言之,先圣早就教导我们,四个姑娘是好的。怎么还能有一个叫“得得”的姑娘呢?蒋寅先生讲的这位学者,还提出了另一种可能的句读法,大体是这样的:知止而后有:定定而后能,静静而后能,安安而后能,虑虑而后能,得。
按照这位学者的理解,句末衍了一个“得”字……于是他就困惑了,《大学》这段话,到底是夺一字还是衍一字呢?其实,只要他明白了这里说得是姑娘,就会发现虽然句读有所不同,但基本精神还是一样的。第一分句中的“有”,就是存在的意思,相当于海德格尔哲学中的Sein,也就是英文中的being。通俗地说,这段话是讲,有了住的地方以后,就是一种存在的状态了,可以有很多很多。有些什么呢?有定定、静静、安安、虑虑这四位姑娘呀。句末的“得”,是总结全句,表示这些都得到了。今天广东话中,还会有“得”来表示“好的”,不行就说“唔得”,也是源自古典文献的用法——就像“问渠那得清如许”中的“渠”不是水渠的意思,就是现在广东话中的“佢”,是人称代词“他”的意思。于是,大家一定要问了:为什么平时要说想静静呢?而不是想定定、安安、虑虑这几位姑娘?原因可能和另一个人有关。我们知道,在汉朝的建兴、延熙年间,有一位很伟大的思想家叫王弼。他在注《周易·复卦》时说:凡动息则静静,非对动者也;语息则默默,非对语者也。
以前人们说,这段话反应了朴素的辩证法思想。这是乱讲。这大概是说,他做事累了,就想和静静在一起——静静这个姑娘,不是那种要一直为她做事的人;他说话累了,就想和默默在一起——默默这个姑娘,不是那种要一直陪她说话的人。默默,今人也写作陌陌,那是后话。所以,自那时候开始开始,人们就开始说,“我想静静,我真的在想静静!”如果静静这个名字反映了男权社会下对女性的规约,“我想静静”则体现了男权时代下男性的一种疲惫。这大概也是“我想静静”比较流行的原因。Silent it is a girl in archaic document. " poem " in " static female its Shu " those who say is her. Silent nevertheless this appellation, probably can restrospect to " The Book of Rites " in " university " one. Among them character is such:
Know to stop, have after that calm, after that can silent, can install after that, after that can Lv, can get after that.
Say simply, stop, it is living meaning, a bit more literary, it is dwell house. So " poem " say: "Min pretty oriole, stop at Qiu Yu. " say again: "State Ji a thousand li, dimension civilian place stops. " this is to say, the bird lives there, big guy lives here. De Linshi of Er of carry on one's shoulder says: "Voll Verdienst, doch Dichterisch, / Wohnet Der Mensch Auf Dieser Erde. " the meaning that Wohnet stops namely, so a kind normally the interpreter is: Be full of merits and accomplishments, person, poetic flavour ground " stop at " over this earth. But actually Verdienen is the meaning that earn money, also have the interest of credit, this that is to say: Pay sufficient head pay borrow money sufficient, the person had a place to live on this earth -- this remains " poetic flavour " good thing. " university " the meaning of this paragraph of word also is similar: Have a house, can the place lives, can have early or late decide surely, Lv of silent, An An, Lv 4 girls. Such later, can get very a lot of more. So " university " say then: "From person of be the concubine of the emperor down to, it is all be with cultivate one's morality this. " apparent, a thing enters gymnastical activity namely. This one the period and the comma, I am to be inMr Jiang Yin
" Jin Ling gives birth to Xiaoyan " (Guilin: Press of Guangxi Normal University, 2004)
Read in, in an instant already 8 years many. Mr Jiang Yin is in the quote in discussing the view of a scholar. He thinks this text, sentence end is seized get a word, that is to say is final should be " can get after that " , as if feel " must get " it is the 5th girl. This kind of understanding is incorrect apparently. Because " the Koran " say: "... you are OK you love choose the woman of Yue, each are married two wife, 3 wife, 4 wife; If you are afraid cannot fair land pay they, that end, you can be married each only one wife... " here " each are married two wife, 3 wife, 4 wife " , and after that Lv of can silent, An An, Lv is a meaning almost. Change and of character, first emperor is early teach us, 4 girls are good. How one still can cry " must get " girl? This learned man that Mr Jiang Yin tells, still offerred way of another kind of possible the period and the comma, cardinal principle is such:Know to stop to have after that: Decide surely after that can, silent after that can, an An after that can, lv Lv after that can, .
According to the understanding of this scholar, sentence end spread out " " word... then he baffled, " university " this paragraph of word, be to seize one word or develop after all one word? Actually, wanting him to understand here says only is a girl, although the period and the comma differs somewhat,can discover, but main drive is same still. In the first clause " have " , it is the meaning of existence, be equivalent to the Sein in philosophy of Er of sea heart case, namely the Being in English. Common ground says, this paragraph of word is to tell, after having the place that live, the condition that is a kind of existence, can have a lot of a lot of. Where is some what? Have decide surely, Lv of silent, An An, Lv these 4 girls ah. Sentence of end " " , it is summary complete sentence, state these got. Cantonese is medium today, still can have " " will express " good " , be no good say " hm " , also be the usage that comes from classic literature -- resemble " ask canal if Na Deqing is made " medium " canal " the meaning that is not aqueduct, it is now in Cantonese " " , it is person pronoun " he " meaning. Then, everybody must ask: Why should say to want at ordinary times silent? Is to want to be decided surely, Lv of An An, Lv these a few girls? Likelihood and another person concern the reason. We know, in Han Chao build promote, Yan Xi year, a very great ideologist calls Wang Bi. He is noting " Zhouyi · answer divinatory symbols " when say:Every is moved breath is silent, be not pair of mover also; Language breath is silent, the person that be not antonym also.
People says previously, this paragraph of word reacted simple dialectic idea. This is to be told in disorder. This is to say probably, he works tired, think and silent together -- silent this girl, not be the person that the sort of wanting that work for her all the time; His conversation is tired, think and be together silently -- silent this girl, either the sort of wanting that accompany her talker all the time. Silent, today the person also composes road, that is hind word. So, begin from that moment, people begins to say, "I think silent, I am thinking really silent! " if silent the stipulations of an agreement that this name reflected male authority society to play pair of women, "I think silent " a kind of exhaustion that reflected the male below male authority times. This also is probably " I think silent " more popular account.
