从乡村到都市:逸乐之美的两种形式——论陶渊明和白居易生活的艺术

From Countryside to Town: Two Forms of Beauty of Ease and Happiness On the Art of TAO Yuanming's and BAI Juyi's Living

中国文人的"独善"往往表现在"逸乐"中,而"逸乐"在西方的美学观念里与"颓废"相对应。逸乐作为现代性的特征之一,在陶渊明与白居易的诗歌中却表现出很大的差异。陶渊明开创的是乡村的逸乐之美,他的逸乐是生命与自然的融合;白居易开创的是都市的逸乐之美,他的逸乐是生命与世俗的融合。逸乐是生活的艺术,具有现代性的永恒之美,不仅对于古人重要,对于崇尚休闲的今人同样具有不可忽视的现代意义。

Chinese literati＇s ideas of ＂self - perfection＂ are manifested in their behaviors of ＂ease and happiness＂, yet ＂ease and happiness＂ corresponds to ＂decadence＂ in the western aesthetic concepts. As one of the characteristics of modernity, ＂ease and happiness＂ has shown great differences in TAO Yuanming＇s and BAI Juyi＇s poetry. What TAO has created is the beauty of ＂ease and happiness＂ in the countryside, and ifs a fusion of llfe and nature; while what BKI has created is the beauty of ＂ease and happiness＂ in the town, it＇s a fusion of life and society. ＂Ease and happiness＂ is art of living, and it has the modernity of beauty of eternity. It＇s not only important to the ancients, but endowed with noticeable modem significance to people today who advocate leisure as well.
