盛世下的虚空——从汉《郊祀歌》看汉武帝的精神世界

Investigating Emperor Wu of Han's Spiritual World by Examining Jiao Si Ge

此文从《郊祀歌》着手来分析汉代最高统治者汉武帝的精神状态。汉代《郊祀歌》本是祭祀天神地祈与歌颂祥瑞之作,却因为统治者的意愿使其充斥着神的散漫与人的欢娱,从而呈现出自娱自祀和求仙渴望长生的旨趣。究其原因,乃与汉武帝好大喜功与忧生惧死的心态有关,表现了汉武帝作为一代雄主的野心以及对人生短促的慨叹和对永生的渴求。此外,它也受了楚风的影响。

This paper attempts to examine the spiritual world of Emperor Wu of Han （156 BC - 87 BC） by analyzing Jiao Si Gre,a collection of poetry popular in those days. Originally the eulogy of prospedty and description of sacrificial rites for geds,Jiao si Ge depicted ,at the will of the rider,the ease of divinity and the joyousness of man,reflecting the emperor＇ s yearning for an immortal life and assuming himself as a deity. It shows that the ambitious emperor craved for immortality while dreading death.
