一以贯之:庞德与儒学的情缘

Consistency in Ezra Pound and Confucianism

埃兹拉·庞德与儒学的不解情缘可以用"一以贯之"来形容,它经历了三个阶段:知遇之感、信仰之重、重生之恩。庞德对儒学的痴迷,使他成为一位真正的"儒生",并使其在西方视域下建构了庞氏儒学。庞德与儒学的不解情缘贯穿于他多舛的一生,他追求礼乐仁和的政治理想,将儒学作为医治西方社会道德危机、心灵腐朽的良药,因此他发出西方社会"亟需孔子"的诉求。

Ezra Pound＇s involvement with Confucianism can be phased into three stages： his early appreciation of Confucianism, his strong belief in Confucianism, and his eternal gratitude to Confucius for saving his life. Pound is a real Confucian disciple and he has established his own Confucianism in the West. Pound＇s adoration for Confucianism runs through his unsmooth life. He pursues the political ideals of Li Yue Ren He and considers Confucianism as an effective medicine to cure Western diseases. Therefore, he calls out ＂Immediate need for Confucius＂ in the West. To study Pound＇s involvement with Confucianism contributes to the study of Pound＇s Confucianism and also conduces to the return of Confucian traditions in modern China.
