寒山融汇佛道之“无事”义

Connotations of “Inaction” by Han Shan

"无事"作为寒山诗的一个意象,最能体现出寒山诗中闲适安然的境界。"无事"之含义是随着"事"的意涵不断变迁而变化的。寒山诗中的无事,融汇了佛道两家对于无事的理解。寒山诗中的"无事"意象一方面表现为对生死之事的彻底理解,从而成为歇心意味上的无事;另一方面,寒山诗在体认心性时,重视其中所具有的在世意趣,由此表现为任运意味上的无事。上述两方面,揭示出了寒山诗逍遥自在感的生成过程和理解寒山诗的一个背景。

As an important image in Han Shan＇s poems, ＂inaction＂ reveals the quietness and calmness of his poems.The connotations of ＂inaction＂ have been changing along with the conception of ＂action＂. The ＂inaction＂ in Han Shan＇s poems is the combination of Buddhism and Taoism. On the one hand, the image of ＂inaction＂ in Han Shan＇s poems represents the insights into life and death, and thus means the peacefulness of minds. On the other hand, Han Shan emphasizes the meaning of mortal life, and bestows ＂inaction＂ with commitment to destiny. These two sides should be borne in mind when we try to understand Han Shan＇s poems.
