论唐代“中兴”危机与复古思潮之关系

On the Relationship between the Crisis of “Rejuvenation” and Restoring Ancient Trend in the Tang Dynasty

唐代在经历短暂"中兴"之后再次进入患难重重的危机之中,这致使唐代士人的"中兴"观念受到了尖锐的现实挑战,也使他们对于本朝"命数"产生了强烈的焦虑感。杜佑与权德舆分别代表了中唐士人从制度与道德两个方面克服这一"中兴"意识的努力,而权德舆所代表的道德思路最终成了中唐的主流。这一思路促成了一种新的"中兴"观念,其不着眼于政治,而以"复古"为路径达致道德精神之"中兴",此种"中兴"事业遂造就了中唐思想文化之辉煌局面。

After short rejuvenation, the Tang dynasty declined into turbulent crisis again. This reality challenged the idea of ＇rejuvenation＇ of the Confucians of that time, and made them extremely anxious to the fate of dynasty. The thoughts of DU You and QUAN De-yu represented the two ways to overcome the current idea of ＇rejuvenation＇, and the latter became the mainstream thought at last. This kind of thought brought about a very new idea of ＇rejuvenation＇, it no longer focused on political affairs, but went a restoring ancient way to a ＇rejuvenation＇ of moral spirit, which gave rise to the intellectual thriving of the Mid-Tang dynasty.
