唐前游仙题材的流变与理性意识的成长

Changes of Literary Fairy Theme and the Development of Rationalistic Consciousness

游仙题材在唐前沿着两条路径前行,经过秦汉的低伏,汉末魏晋的高涨,至东晋以后而渐趋边缘化。这既是文学现象,更是文化现象。游仙题材近千年的起伏及世俗化趋势与我国思想史上理性精神的发展脉络有着某种对应关系。通过对游仙题材的历时性考查,再参照以理性精神在唐前的发展历程,并结合对各阶段作品的解析,可以理清这一文化现象的动因。

The literary fairy theme went along two paths before Tang, i.e. through the downs of Qin Han and the ups of WeiJin. After the period of Dongjin it became gradually marginalized. This is the literatry phenomenon and a cultural phenomenon. The ups and downs, the tendency of the worldliness of the fairy theme for a thousand years have some correlation with the development of rational spirit in China＇s history of thoughts. Through the historical examining of literary fairy theme in this phase, and consulting the historic development of the rationalistic consciousness in the same period, and analysing writings of Fairy theme of literary, we can find the reasons for the cultural phenomenon.
