论陈子昂的《登幽州台歌》

On Mounting Youzhou Terrace by Chen Zi’ang

陈子昂的《登幽州台歌》堪称其代表作,可是在古代,评论此诗者却不多见,今人评论,则多是鉴赏。五言古诗《蓟丘览古》七首是陈子昂在遭遇了最无奈的政治打击之后对其怀才不遇之悲的一次集中的宣泄,《登幽州台歌》作于这组诗之后不久,是其悲愤情怀的高潮终曲。《登幽州台歌》中的孤独和悲凉,其实也是所有有大襟抱大才能者共同的人生悲哀,而传统文化中登高神伤的文化心理则更加重了这种孤独感。就风格而言,《登幽州台歌》悲壮慷慨,是上承建安风骨,下启盛唐之音的初唐诗的代表作。

Mounting Youzhou Terrace can be regarded as Chen Zi’ang’s masterpiece. However, there have not been many comments on it, and most of critics expressed their appreciation only. This poem expresses the universal feeling among Chinese unrecognized talents. The paper intends to clarify its background, the value judgment of ancient learners, their hopes of contributing to their country, and deep reason for internal loneliness. Meanwhile, the paper has compared the poem with Qu Yuan, Ruan Ji and Du Mu’s poems. Finally, this paper concludes that Mounting Youzhou Terrace is a typical solemn poem in early Tang Dynasty between Jian’an and what is called prosperous period of Tang Dynasty.
