<p class="ql-block">浪漫的本质</p><p class="ql-block">文／韩鲁珩</p><p class="ql-block">浪漫是一个广泛使用的形容词，在当今文化语境中，“浪漫”常被理解为一种感性情绪的外化——一束鲜花，一场表白，一次旅行，或诗意语言的堆砌等等。其实这些不过是浪漫的表象形式，并非浪漫的本质。倘若我们从本体论的角度对浪漫加以探究，浪漫是人的生命自觉和美的意识。</p><p class="ql-block">人类区别于其他生物的一个重要特征是我们不仅本能地活着，同时还是有着超出本能的精神意识。浪漫是在精神意识之发出的感性表达。它不是对某种具体事物的赞美，而是对“超出本能地活着”的存在状态的情感回应。</p><p class="ql-block">热爱生命才能产生美的意识，这就是浪漫情感的根本。也正因为热爱生命，我们才会热爱生活、热爱自然、热爱他者，才会珍惜友情、向往爱情、追求自由。这种热爱在感性层面上表现为浪漫行为，在理性层面上表现为文明意识。换言之，文明区分了人类和其它生物，浪漫是文明的感性表达。</p><p class="ql-block">文化孕育了文明，文明影响了文化，浪漫离不开文化和文明，浪漫根植于文明，表达有着明确的文化特征。没有文化土壤就没有浪漫的存活，没有文明的意识，浪漫就无法诞生。浪漫绝非野性释放，诗意语言依托于语言文明，浪漫也依托于生命感知的深化与文化表现的丰富。</p><p class="ql-block">浪漫并不拒绝理性，而是将理性内化于感性的形式之中。它是一种有意识的自由表达，一种人与人之间、人与自然之间的美好感性连接。它是一种“对生活细节的抚触”，也是“对存在美感的回应”。</p><p class="ql-block">浪漫的特征是常常超越现实，往往借由想象力展开生命视野。这种想象不是逃避现实，而是一种精神上的外延和升华。通过浪漫人类能在有限的现实中表达无限的情感，将瞬间的感受赋予永恒的意义，浪漫是人类想象力和创造力的起点，是人性的基本特征之一。</p><p class="ql-block">因此我们可以说浪漫是一种“从生存本能升华出来的精神创造”。</p><p class="ql-block">浪漫，是人类对生命本质的感性自觉与自由表达，具有美的意识，想象的特征</p><p class="ql-block">结语：浪漫不是轻浮的姿态，不是词藻的修饰，更不是扭捏作态的刻意表现。真正的浪漫是美好人性的自然流露，充分表达对于生命，生活和美的热爱。</p> <p class="ql-block">The Essence of Romance</p><p class="ql-block">By Han Luheng</p><p class="ql-block">"Romance" is a widely used adjective. In today's cultural context, it is often understood as the outward expression of emotional sensitivity—a bouquet of flowers, a love confession, a trip, or a string of poetic phrases. Yet, these are merely superficial manifestations of romance, not its essence. If we examine romance from an ontological perspective, it is, in fact, a conscious awareness of life and a sensitivity to beauty.</p><p class="ql-block">One of the key traits that distinguishes humans from other creatures is that we not only live by instinct, but also possess a spiritual consciousness that transcends instinct. Romance is the emotional expression that arises from this spiritual consciousness. It is not praise for any specific thing, but an emotional response to the very act of living beyond mere instinct.</p><p class="ql-block">Only by truly loving life can one develop an awareness of beauty—this is the root of romantic feeling. Because we love life, we come to love living, love nature, love others; we cherish friendship, yearn for love, and pursue freedom. This love, when expressed emotionally, becomes romantic behavior; when expressed rationally, it becomes a mark of civilization. In other words, civilization distinguishes humans from other living beings, and romance is the emotional expression of civilization.</p><p class="ql-block">Culture nurtures civilization, and civilization shapes culture. Romance cannot exist without both; it is rooted in civilization and carries distinct cultural characteristics in its . Without the soil of culture, romance cannot survive; without the awareness of civilization, romance cannot be born. Romance is by no means a release of wild instinct. Just as poetic language depends on the evolution of linguistic civilization, romance relies on deepened perception of life and the richness of cultural .</p><p class="ql-block">Romance does not reject reason; instead, it internalizes reason within a form of emotional . It is a conscious act of free expression, a beautiful emotional connection between individuals and between humanity and nature. It is a “caress of life’s details,” and a “response to the beauty of existence.”</p><p class="ql-block">A key feature of romance is that it often transcends reality, expanding the scope of life through imagination. This imagination is not an escape from reality, but a spiritual extension and elevation. Through romance, humans can express infinite emotions within finite reality, imbuing fleeting feelings with timeless meaning. Romance is the starting point of human imagination and creativity, and one of the fundamental traits of human nature.</p><p class="ql-block">Therefore, we can say that romance is a “spiritual creation elevated from the instinct for survival.”</p><p class="ql-block">Romance is the emotional awareness and free expression of the essence of life. It is rooted in a sense of beauty and characterized by imagination.</p><p class="ql-block">Conclusion:</p><p class="ql-block">Romance is not a frivolous pose, nor mere embellishment with ornate words, nor an affected display of sentiment. True romance is the natural outpouring of noble human nature—the full expression of a love for life, for living, and for beauty.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p>
