晚明“狂禅”运动与公安派的兴衰

"Mad Zen" Movement in Late Ming Dynasty and the Rise and Fall of Gong'an School

公安派因李贽而习禅,伴随着"狂禅"运动的兴起,在京师谈禅论学,达到鼎盛。然学术及政治的嫁接导致了公安派在文坛上只能是昙花一现。政治上对立的党争双方在反"狂禅"这个学术问题上达成默契,联合剿杀了这场运动,李贽身死,公安派成员逃避政治迫害,离散逃亡,归于沉寂。袁宏道在反思之后,风格为之一变。

Gong＇an School practiced Zen for the sake of Li Zhi. They were lecturing on Zen in the capital with the rising of ＂Mad Zen＂ Movement. However, the academic and political graft led Gong＇an School to a flash in the pan. Reaching implicit recognition in the academic issue of ＂Mad Zen＂, the opposite political parties joined to put down this movement. Li Zhi was killed and the members of Gong＇an School were scattered and escaped from the political persecution. After serious reflection, Yuan Hong- dao changed his style.
