论唐代文人的忧国忧民心态

The Mentaliy of the Literati in Tang Dynasty

唐代文人忧国忧民思想呈现出明显的时代特质。政治清明的盛唐 ,文人积极用世 ,兼济天下 ,展示出昂扬的精神风貌 ;中唐则朝纲不振 ,国势趋衰 ,文人的作品多表现为对权贵的鞭挞以及对民瘼的同情 ;到了晚唐吟唱的则是一曲曲挽悼的哀歌。这种内容与形式的兼备 。

The literary men in Tang Dynasty showed great concern for their nation. This reflects the distintice feature of the age, the flourishing early Tang Dynasty which bore an enlightened and democratic political atmosphere. So the literary men were high spirited and took a very active attitude towards life. But in the middle Tang Dynasty, because of the ineffectiveness of the cardinal principles and the decline of the national power, the literary works expressed the literary men's castigations to the corrupted high officials and great sympathy for the ordinary people. In the late Tang Dynasty, the literary works were full of mournful songs to the age, the perfect unity of form and content has produced those everlasting classics in literary history.
