現量之美

　　“現量之美”指自然感興、不假思索、不摻雜虛妄的審美思維。“現”是當下的意思，“量”是量度、判斷標準的意思。王夫之將“現量”這一術語運用到中國古代文藝批評理論中，意在說明古詩中的“長河落日圓”“隔水問樵夫”之類的審美意象，都是詩人對審美對象直接觀照、自然感興的產物。因此，“現量之美”實際上就是一種即景會心、直接感興、興會神到的直覺之美。

Beauty of Spontaneous Response

　　This concept refers to aesthetic appreciation that is natural, spontaneous, and unadulterated. Xian means "appear", and liang means "measurement". Wang Fuzhi applied the term to art and literary criticism to argue that aesthetic images in familiar lines of classical Chinese poems such as "upon the long river the setting sun is round" and "ask the woodcutter across the stream" come from direct observation and spontaneous reaction. Thus the "beauty of spontaneous response" is actually a type of beauty that can be intuitively sensed, arouses interest on the spot, and naturally inspires.

引例

　　家輞川詩中有畫，畫中有詩，此二者同一風味，故得水乳調和，俱是造未造、化未化之前，因現量而出之。（王夫之《題蘆雁絕句》）（王維的詩中有畫的意境，畫中有詩的情感，他的詩與畫具有相同的風格趣味，因此能夠水乳交融，都是在藝術形象和情感產生之前由感官直接感知而得到的。）

　　Wang Wei's poems contain picturesque images; his paintings contain poetic sentiments. The two share similar stylistic charm, and can blend as naturally as milk and water. They are both obtained directly via the senses, before artistic images are conjured up and emotions stimulated. (Wang Fuzhi: A Collection of Four-line Poems on Reed and Geese)
