Comparative Aesthetic Studies on the Sound hearing found in Classical Literature

有研究表明，日本人的听觉有一种特殊性，尤其是对自然的声音，如风声、蟋蟀的啁啾、鸟鸣等。早在四分之一世纪前，脑生理学家Tadanobu TSUNODA就断言，这种特点源于日本人的大脑机制：在西方人的情况下，自然的声音在大脑的语言半球被视为噪音，而在日本人的情况下，他们在大脑的语言半球被视为有意义的声音。他的论断得到了科学的证明，并得到了人们的支持。但从他自己所说的“他的主张对他的孩子无效”的暗示中，我得出结论，日本人对自然声音的听觉特性并不取决于大脑的听觉机制，而是取决于日本人传统上和相互主体间形成的日本文学美感。本文通过对《万书》、《小津和书》、《源之之道》、《平野之道》、《松尾桥》等经典文学作品中声音听觉的分析，说明这种独特性是由文学审美观念的传统、传统的房屋结构和旅行等生活方式所形成的。

It has been indicated that there is a peculiarity in the Japanese sound hearing, especially about natural sounds such as sound of wind, chirps of cricket, notes of birds etc. It was asserted ,more than a quarter of cenrury by brain physiologist Tadanobu TSUNODA that this peculiarity derives from the Japanese brain mechanism : in the case of Westerners, the natural sounds are heard as noises in the nin-lingistic hemisphere of brain,while in the case of Japaneses,they are heard as meaningfull sounds in the lingstic hemisphere of brain.. His assertion was scientifically proved ,and became supported by people. But given hint by his own saying that his assertion had no validity for his chaild, I reached the conclusion that the Japanese peculiarity of natural sounds hearingdepends noton the auditory mechanism of brain, but on the Japanese literary aesthetic senswhich has been traditionally and interrsubjectively formed by Japaneses. Our studies elucidate, analizing the sound hearing found in classic literary works including Manyoshu, Xokinwakashu, Genjimonogatari,, Heikemonogatari,,Matsuo Basho's poetry works, that this peculiarity has been formed by the tradition of the literary aesthetic sens, the traditional strucrure of house and the life style e.g.journey..
