径山茶汤会首求颂二首赏析

Appreciation and Analysis of Two Gatha Odes for Tea Liquor Meeting Held in Jingshan Mountain

宋·释咸杰的"径山茶汤会首求颂二首"是据以诠释径山茶汤会,即径山茶宴与佛教禅宗关系的重要史料。本文从研究诗作的历史背景和若干关键词入手,阐明了宋时的径山茶汤会实质上是一种相当规模的大堂茶会,是径山寺以茶宴形式为载体的,以修禅士大夫为主要对象的,以弘扬禅宗教义为主要目的的一种特色道场,也即史称的径山茶宴。论文最后指出,茶禅文化对于当今社会主义文化建设而言,也不失是一种正能量,应进一步有取舍地加以研究和利用。

The two Gatha Odes for Tea Liquor Meeting held in Jingshan Mountain were written by Shi Xianjie in Song Dynasty. It is important historical data to interpret the meeting itself, as well as the relationship between Jingshan Tea Banquet and Zen Buddhism（Dhyana）. This article, starting from research of the historical background and a certain number of keywords of the odes, elucidated that the Tea Liquor Meeting in Song Dynasty was substantially a kind of massive grand-hall tea party, which had been known as Jingshan Tea Banquet. It was a characteristic Buddhist rite, a form of expression of tea banquet in Jingshan Temple, mainly targeting at Zen meditation literati and officialdom, with the purpose of developing and expanding Zen Buddhism. At the end of the paper, a conclusion was drawn that although there were many components of idealism in Tea Zen culture, it might be a sort of positive energy for today＇s socialist cultural construction and should to be further studied and utilized selectively.
