自适与自远——论魏晋文人的饮酒精神

酒对魏晋文人的精神世界产生了深远而独特的影响。"魏晋文人的饮酒精神"的内涵可概括为"自适"与"自远"。要言之,"自适"即借助酒醉的状态,实现对人生负重的消解和本真心灵的追求;"自远"则为以酒为精神伴侣,向纯然平和、物我两忘的"无我"心境进发——亦即从道德境界自觉地向天地境界进发的过程。对魏晋文人的饮酒精神的论述,有助于深化对魏晋文人精神世界的认识,并进一步了解其对中国文化史与思想史之影响。

Wine had a profound and unique effect on the spiritual world of the literati in the Wei-- Jin period. The drinking spirit of the literati can be summarized as ＂Self--adjustment＂ and ＂Self-- pursuit＂. In brief, ＂Self--adjustment＂ is to realize the digestion of life weight and the pursuit of spiritual truth through the drunken state; ＂Self--pursuit＂ is to pursue the peaceful mind, with wine as a companion to the spirit. The discussion on the drinking spirit of the literati in the Wei--Jin period will help to deepen the understanding of the spiritual world of the literati, and better understand its influence on Chinese cultural history and intellectual history.
