《邶风·击鼓》:厌战与人性的二重奏

Beifeng·Drumming:War-Weariness and Human Nature Combined

《邶风.击鼓》是《诗经》中一篇典型的战争诗。诗人以袒露自身与主流意识的背离,宣泄自己对战争的抵触情绪。作品在对人类战争本相的透视中,呼唤的是对个体生命具体存在的尊重和生活细节幸福的获得。这种来自心灵深处真实而朴素的歌唱,是对人之存在的最具人文关怀的阐释,是先民们为后世的文学作品树立起的一座人性高标。

Beifeng·Drumming is a typical war poem in the The Book of Songs.The poet reveals his rebellion against the mainstream consciousness,and gives vent to his antipathy towards war.The poem penetrates in the Nature of the war,in order to call for respect to the existence of individual lives and pursuit of the specific happiness in life.This simple but genuine singing,from the bottom of the heart,is the best interpretation of humanistic care about people.It is a high standard of human nature our ancestors established for the later literary works.
