中晚唐农事诗勃兴之原因探析

Reasons of the Prosperity of Georgics in the Mid-Tang and Late -Tang Period

农事是中国古典诗歌的一个古老题材,因为早在我国的第一部诗歌总集《诗经》中,就有为数不少的有关农事的描写。但《诗经》以后很长的一段时期内,有关农事的描写在诗歌中却是时断时续,很难形成轩然大波之势。直到中晚唐时期,这种冷清的局面才有所改变,农事诗在中晚唐的大量出现不是偶然的,而是与当时的社会背景、新乐府诗歌理论的推动及其诗人们特殊的生活经历和儒家价值观的影响等方面分不开的。

Farming is an ancient subject of Chinese classical poetry and the description of it can be found easily in ＂Book of Songs＂, the first anthology of poetry in China. But from then on, few poets paid close attention to this aspect. The lonely situation remained unchanged until the Mid-Tang and Late-Tang period. The prosperity of georgics was no accident. On the contrary, it associated closely with the social background, the new poetic theory, the special social experience of the poets and the influence of the Confucian values.
