论游侠传统与曹植游侠精神气质的形成

On the Paladin Tradition and the Making of Cao Zhi's Swordsman Temperament

游侠在历史上曾经兴盛一时,但随着大一统封建王朝的建立、稳固社会秩序的形成,游侠之风渐趋衰微。到汉末建安时期,曹植由于社会环境和自身性情等因素的影响,仰慕游侠,形成了极浓的游侠精神气质。在侠文化渐趋衰落的时候,曹植以自己的咏侠诗继承并发展了传统的侠义精神,将实存侠变成了精神之侠,起到了振起侠风的作用。

Swordsmen used to be rather popular in history. However, with the establishment of a united feudal kingdom and a stable and secure social institution, they stopped being a trend. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Zhi, influenced by the then social environment and his own disposition, admired swordsmen so much so that he developed full-bodied swordsman-like temperament. In his swordsman praising songs, he inherited and boosted the traditional errantry, spiritualizing the swordsmen and vitalizing the paladin tradition.
