“足踏圣人路,貌端禅士形”——贾岛思想新论

"Confucianism Inwardly and Zen Outwardly": A New Interpretation of Jia Dao′s Philosophy

闻一多先生认为贾岛"形貌上虽然是个儒生,骨子里恐怕还有个释子在",此观点得到不少学者的认可。但贾岛执着的入世精神、"立言"的生命价值观,透露出他终生奉守的儒家哲学。他狷狂桀骜的个性则承继了墨家侠义精神的气息。贾岛诗歌鲜明地打上了佛禅审美取向的烙印,但他只是形貌上的禅子而已。

Mr.Wen Yiduo once said that ＂although Jia Dao is a Confucian scholar outwardly,I am afraid that he is a Buddhist in essence＂,which has received approval from many scholars.However,Jia Dao′s dedicated spirit and outspoken life values reveal his Confucian philosophy abided by all his life.His arrogant temperament is a kind of inheritance of the chivalrous Mohist spirit.Though Jia Dao′s poems are clearly marked with the imprint of the aesthetic orientation of Zen,he is a Buddhist only outwardly.
