洞察力简言之就是把握事物本质的能力。自然界有深刻的本质规律性;社会生活也包含“表现出来的本质”。自然科学家、社会科学家和文学艺术家的任务都在于去洞悉和表现对象的本质。就此而言,创造能力可以说就是洞察力。当然,要洞见本质,必先以感受现象为前提。问题是光凭敏锐的感受力,不具备深邃的洞察力,还是不能作出创造的。文学家的创造就在于透过纷繁复杂的人世相把握社会生活的本来面目,再把它艺术地再现出来。茅盾 In short, insight is the ability to grasp the essence of things. Nature has deep essential laws; social life also contains “expressed essence.” The tasks of natural scientists, social scientists, and literary artists all lie in understanding and representing the nature of objects. In this regard, creativity can be said to be insight. Of course, to see the essence, we must first presume the phenomenon. The problem is that with a keen sense of sensibility, there is no deep insight and no creation can be made. The writer’s creation consists in grasping the true features of social life through a complex and complex world and reproducing it artistically. Mao Dun
