初盛唐的崇道狂迷——谈终南山道教与文人活动

The Taoist Mania in the Early and Middle Periods of Tang Dynasty

在唐代崇道的大环境下,终南山凭借着自身的道教优势和与帝王的特殊关系成为一代道教名山。又由于它距离京都不远往来方便,就很自然地吸引了不少文人士子在此流连、隐居。他们或以退为进或修道养性,透过这一小的群体我们可以窥见初盛唐诗人的崇道风貌及其文化成因。

Under the general overwhelming environment of Taoist worshipping in the Tang Dynasty, Mt. Zhongnan became a famous Taoist mountain due to its superiority in Taoist worshipping and its special relationship with emperors. Because of the short distance from the capital and the convenient traffic, it was natural that quite some literates frequented the mountain or stayed in hermit there either for possible opportunities to be nominated as court officials, or for cultivating themselves in Taoism. Through this small colony, we can get a peep on the overall features of the poets in the early and middle periods of Tang Dynasty and the cultural causes.
