玄言诗的产生、发展和流变——读《支遁诗文译释》(代跋)

The Birth,Development and Evolvement of Metaphysical Poetry

玄言诗虽然产生于正始时期,却经过了西晋时的寂寞。东晋士人的偏安心态和审美情趣的变化,是玄言诗发展的内在动因;东晋高层决策者的倡导、爱好是玄言诗发展的重要条件。同时,佛教的传入、佛教般若学对东晋玄学的渗透等都与东晋玄言诗的发展大有关系。以体悟玄理(包涵老庄玄学和佛学理论)、剖析玄学义理为宗旨的魏晋玄言诗,却并不都"淡乎寡味";后来的诗人将吟诵山水引入玄言诗中,从而使其获得新的生命力,并最终发展成为全新的山水诗。

Metaphysical poetry came into being in the Zhengshi Period （240-249）, and began to develop during the change in the Eastern Jin Dynasty scholars＇ content attitude and aesthetic taste. And the advocating and love are the two important conditions for the development of the metaphysical poetry. Moreover, the introduction of Buddhism also played a big role. Later, some landscape poems appeared in this poetic school.
