解读李白之“奇”

Interpretation of Li Bai's "Singularity"

“奇”为李白之特质,具体表现在其生死、家世、才华、气质、个性、志向、爱好、经历、行为、诗文诸方面。李白之“奇”,既源于其人之本真,也有其笔下自我之夸饰,但更多是他人在此基础上的加工衍绎。“奇”,展示出李白突出的个体特征,体现了鲜明的“李白文化精神”。李白之“奇”,充分表现了人性的美好需求,满足了人们好奇夸异的心态。就文化背景看,在以权力为中心、皇权至上的专制时代,李白之“奇”更具反叛性的积极意义。李白之“奇”是新奇,奇得明白自然,既超乎想象,又合情合理,奇而不怪。李白之“奇”,既是盛唐时代精神最生动的体现,也是盛唐这一特殊时代的产物。

＂Singularity＂ is Li Bai＇s special quality, explicitly manifested in the many aspects of his life and death, family background, girls, temperament, personality, ambition, hobbies, experience, behavior and poetic prose. His ＂singularity＂ derives from his true self as well as from the self exaggeration of the wording and purport in his writing, and much more are from the processing and development on these bases by others. ＂Singularity＂ demonstrates Li＇ s outstanding characteristics of an individual and definitely shows ＂the cultural spirit of Li Bai＂. His ＂singularity＂ fully expresses the fine needs of human nature, satisfying people＇ s mentality of curiosity and of exaggerating what is extraordinary. Against the background of culture, in the autocratic time of power-centered supremacy of imperial authority Li＇ s ＂singularity＂ has a further significance of active rebellion. Li＇ s ＂singularity＂ is novel, clearly and naturally singular; it surpasses imagination, yet it is perfectly logical and reasonable. Li＇ s ＂singularity＂ is both a vivid reflection of the spirit of the time of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and a product of that particular time.
