謝榛於《四溟詩話》中屢以「冥搜」一詞論詩,謝氏所提出的冥搜之説,主張詩思生於靜室隱几之際,要求詩人於寂靜之中冥心搜句,由此得以求聲於寂寥,並且寫真於無象。謝榛在《四溟詩話》內所提出的冥搜之説,不獨上接於陸機《文赋》中所提到「收視反聽,耽思傍訊,精騖八極,心遊萬仞」的「玄覽」之説,更與中晚唐至五代詩境説理論彼此有一脈相承之處,而且背後又牽涉到六朝以來的佛學思想——事實上在詩論中的這種冥搜之説,原與佛敎的禪法有着極為密切的關係。另一方面,「冥搜」一詞雖屢見於《四溟詩話》,然而並不創始於謝榛,謝榛以之論詩,其説實有所本。冥搜之説原屬傳統文論上一極為重要問題,不過至今似尚未見有對此具體深入的論述,是以本文擬就謝榛《四溟詩話》中有關冥搜之説,開展對傳統文論「冥搜」概念的闡析,除冀以此説明謝榛《四溟詩話》冥搜之説的具體所指及理論源出外,並望藉此闡明「冥搜」概念的具體涵義與要求,甚至進一步以此説明傳統詩論中的這種冥搜之説,對於中國古代文論而言究竟有何重大意義。

The term ming sou (冥搜)abounds in Xie Zhen's Si Ming Shi Hua, but it is not coined by Xie himself. Ming sou, though an important concept in the history of the Chinese literary theory, has not been subjected to any in-depth study. Taking Xie Zhen's ming sou as a point of departure, this paper aims at expounding the concept of ming sou and tracing its origin. Through a historical study of the concept ming sou, it is hoped that the significance of ming sou as well as Xie Zhen's position in the history of the Chinese literary theory will be shed light upon.
