唐代的任侠风气与文学创作

Chivalric Vogue and Literary Creation in Tang Dynasty

唐代任侠风气构成了一种重要的文学一文化现象,并在创作本体与主体两个文化层面上影响了文学创作。任侠风气中表现出的对于勇武豪爽、建功立业、自由享乐等人生理想的追求,参与了文人人格理想、生活理想和审美理想的构建。他们将侠作为一种审美意象,寄托自己的理想、抒发建功立业的抱负和怀才不遇的愤懑,形成颇具时代文化精神的审美情趣,并由此带来了初盛唐诗歌创作的勃兴、咏侠诗风的高涨和中晚唐豪侠小说创作的繁荣。为唐代文学赋予了新的文学内涵和文化精神,使侠文化在唐代得到了总结提高和发展创变,完成了中国侠由史家立传到文人歌咏的过渡,在中国侠文化史上具有承前启后的文化地位。

The paper maintains that the chivalric vogue of Tang Dynasty contributed to the emergence of a special literary and cultural phenomenon and had great impact on both the writers and the writings. The ideals for courage, achievements, and pleasures permeate the humanistic personality construction and aesthetic experience of the contemporaries. Chivalric heroes were endowed with the ideals and longings of the writers for manly accomplishments and cynicism due to frustrations, which accounts for the unprecedented prosperity of the poetic creation of the early and middle Tang Dynasty and the knightly romances of the late Tang Dynasty.
