Physical Features
泛指各種自然事物的形貌。“物色”本義為牲畜的毛色，引申指物體的顏色，進(jìn)而指景物、景色。南朝劉勰在《文心雕龍·物色》中專門對(duì)自然景物與文學(xué)創(chuàng)作的關(guān)系進(jìn)行了討論。他認(rèn)為“情以物遷，辭以情發(fā)”，自然景物作為審美對(duì)象能夠引發(fā)人們的創(chuàng)作沖動(dòng)，從而發(fā)為文章。優(yōu)秀的文學(xué)作品，既要做到“寫氣圖貌，既隨物以宛轉(zhuǎn)”，細(xì)膩描摹景物；也要“屬采附聲，亦與心而徘徊”，情景交融。《昭明文選》中賦類有“物色”一目，專門收錄寫景出眾的作品。
This term refers broadly to the appearances and patterns of everything in nature. It was originally used to describe the colors of animal furs; later it became associated with the colors of all physical objects, such as the splendor of scenery and landscape. Liu Xie of the Southern Dynasties discussed at some length the relationship between natural features and literary creation in his book The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons. In his view, "Literary writing is created only when the writer's innermost emotion is stirred up by external things." That is, as objects of aesthetic appreciation, natural features can inspire one to turn his emotions into words. A fine piece of literary work should "reveal the vital energy and essence of external things with vivid detail." At the same time, "such work should also create sights and sounds to match the writer's emotions." It should fuse emotions and scenery into one. This type of writing can be found in the "Rhapsodic Prose" section of Selections of Refined Literature Compiled by Prince Zhaoming, which has vivid accounts of scenery and landscape.
