“穷则独善其身”——“送穷”节俗与“送穷”系列作品

Maintain One's Own Integrity Despite One's Poverty——Eliminating Poverty Festival and the Literary Works of Eliminating Poverty

送穷系列作品是晦日送穷的节俗与文学创作相结合的产物,出现在诗、词、文、赋等各种文学体裁之中。这些作品大多运用拟人化的手法,通过作者与穷鬼的对话,借端骂世,既批判了社会上的丑恶现象,又表达了作者"君子固穷"的志向和决心,而且也与古代文人"穷则独善其身"的人格追求不谋而合。

The series of literary Works of Eliminating Poverty is the results of combing the Huiri festival and the literature, which appears the forms of literature such as poems, ci, article and ill. Almost of the literary works use the skill of personification. They not only criticize the social ugly phenomena, they also express the aspiration and determination of ＂gentleman sticking to poverty＂ through the dialogue of the author and the poverty ghost. At the same time, they also happen to coincide with the ancient scholars＇ personality pursuit of ＂maintaining one＇ s own integrity despite one＇ s poverty＂.
