试论柳宗元诗歌之禅悦思想

A Tentative Discussion on the Ideology of Zen Displayed in Liu Zongyuan's Poems

柳宗元是中唐时期著名的诗人,其诗歌有其鲜明特点即禅悦思想,表现为明心见性的智慧心境,忧中有乐的生活意趣及忧愤难忘的心绪纠结。这与中唐时期的社会文化特征相符,同时也与诗人自幼崇佛,谪贬永州后精研佛法有关。诗人坎坷的人生经历和心境也决定了其创作中的禅悦风格。禅悦思想影响和决定了诗人的诗歌创作与艺术实现。

The poems written by Liu Zongyuan, a famous poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, embrace distinctly the ideology of Zen, which is reflected in the wise mentality of self - awareness, the life joy of finding pleasure out of sorrow as well as the psychological struggle. This is consistent to the cultural characteristics of the middle Tang Dynasty society, and has great relevance to Liu Zongyuan＇ s advocation of Buddhism since childhood and careful study of Buddhist doctrine after he was demoted to a lower position in Yongzhou. His rough life experiences and state of mind also contribute to his writing style. The ideology of Zen has a crucial impact on his poetry composition and art realization.
