“道中庸”的陶渊明

Tao YuanMing's Doctrine of the Golden Mean

陶渊明最高妙处、最难以企及处是其于人生所行之中道:在人生实践中的精神追求及诗文创作的主题意蕴与艺术表现手法等许多方面他都真正做到了无过亦无不及。“乐天之诚”与“忧世之志”并行不悖,“情怀激荡忧愤”与“吐属温雅蕴藉”融然为一,“品格高迈超旷”与“性情平易慈祥”共举不二,以及“平淡朴素”与“警策绮丽”妙合一体。这也许是“定位”陶渊明其人其诗价值与意义的最关键视角。

Tao YuanMing＇s advantage was that he lived in the doctrine of the Golden Mean. He really got things done just good in spirit pursuit of his life practice and the main idea of his poem creation and the method of his artistic illustration. He not only worried about the others but enjoyed his ease life, he often expressed his opinion in a good way and he had a very good moral character and gentle temper. This might be the key view to locate the signiticance of Tao YuanMing and his poems.
