晚唐五代诗僧群体的文学理论

A Study on the Collective Literary Theory of the Poet Monks of Five Generations in Late Tang

晚唐五代是诗僧文学理论创作的兴盛期,诗僧们认识到作诗与禅悟的种种相通之处,并开创了"以禅喻诗"的道路,这一手法可细分为以禅评诗、以禅拟诗、以禅参诗、以禅论诗四种。他们在句法理论方面的探讨仍在继续,但更多精力投入到了语言层面的探讨上,注重字句推敲,出现了大量"一字师"的故事,并提出"诗眼"观念;他们的诗格类著作,在体例方面也有不少的创新,为宋人所继承和发展。

The five generations in late Tang Dynasty is the rise of the creation of literary theory among poet monks. The poet monks realized the similarities between poems and Zen and developed the way of ＂creating poems through Zen＂. This can be subdivided into the four kinds： evaluating poems, writing poems, referring to poems and discussing poems through Zen. Further research was going on in the theory of syntax, but more efforts were made to the study of language. It emphasized the diction. Many tales about ＂one-word master＂ occurred, and the idea of ＂＇the poetic eye＂ was raised. Their poetic works had many innovations in style, which was inherited and developed by people in Song Dynasty.
