初唐时期的祥瑞与雅颂文学

Auspicious Symbols of Early Tang Dynasty and the Literature of Royal Odes

初唐时期统治者对天降祥瑞表现出极大的兴趣和政治依赖,受其影响不但产生了大量润色鸿业、歌颂祥瑞的表奏赋颂,而且渐渐形成了初唐诗歌“观照自然”的一种普遍的心理状态,确立雅颂文学写作的基本感发方式。在具体的景物描写以及咏物的过程中,也着重强化融和绚丽的嘉祥气氛,甚至表现民间生活的风物之美,佛寺道观的福地圣域都受到这种心态的影响。

The rulers of the Early Tang Dynasty were interested much in those auspicious divine symbols, and often politically dependent on them. Under this impact, there appeared not only a lot of official essays and royal odes which mainly served for praising great achievement and those auspicious divine symbols, but also gradually a general mind for the poems of this period which is characterized with ＂reflection on the nature＂. Such a situation had specified some basic ways of expression for writing the literature of royal odes in genre, and had emphasized a strong atmosphere of harmony, magnificence, and auspiciousness. Even of folk life and the divine area of temples those poems that mainly represent the beauty had been influenced by this mind.
