从刘琨经历和诗歌看刘琨悲剧

Viewing Liu Kun's Tragedy from His Experiences and Poetry

刘琨,西晋末年著名的爱国将领,民族英雄。他的一生以永嘉之乱为界分为前后两期。永嘉之乱前,刘琨的行为浮华放纵,为一名吟花弄月的贵公子;永嘉之乱后,面对国破家亡,刘琨决然扛起了救国救民的大旗,转变成一名民族英雄。由于时代条件和自身性格的原因,他不可避免地走上了失败的道路。文章试图通过刘琨的经历和诗歌探讨刘琨悲剧,最后指出刘琨悲剧成因。

Liu Kun was a famous patriotic general and national hero in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Yongjia chaos of AD 311 was a watershed for him： before that, he was ever an idler from a wealth family and indulged in creature comforts ; but after the country was defeated and home was lost, Liu Kun decisively served as a national hero to save the country and people from the plight. However, due to that society and his character, he was doomed to be a failure. This paper tries to analyse Liu Kun＇ s tragedy from his experiences and poetry. At last, the paper points out the causes of his tragedy.
