唐末五代道教小说中的醉仙

The Drunk Immortals in Taoism Novels in the Late Period of Tang and Five Dynasties

在唐末五代的道教小说中,出现了一系列醉仙形象,他们个个嗜酒放旷,醉态十足地在尘世间穿梭。他们似醉非醉,狷狂不群,以悖于传统礼俗的方式教育世人,警醒世人,在其宗教意蕴的外形下,传达出对社会现实深刻的反思与批评,具有独特的审美意义。

In the Taoism novels in the late period of Tang and Five dynasties, there were a series of images of drunk immortals. All of them indulged in liquor, behaved boldly and just lived in the secular world. They looked dnmk, crazy, but actually they taught and warned people in the way of contrast to traditional custom. Under the appear- ance of their religious implication, these drunk immortals conveyed the profound reflection and criticism to social reality, these images had a unique aesthetic meaning.
