管窥咏莲诗中的古人情怀

Feelings of Ancient People in Poems about Lotus Flower

本文从咏莲之美、采莲观莲、借莲咏怀、咏莲颂德、谈佛论道、借莲消暑等六个方面对咏莲诗的内容进行了粗略地分析,力图从中挖掘出古人的莲花情结,并认为这种情结的形成与莲花可以消暑驱热、怡情冶性、采之为食、用之医病、兆示吉祥有很大关系。而且推测嘉莲兆祥观念形成的思想原因在于原始崇拜与佛道影响。

It was found that the feelings of ancient people on lotus flower much relate to that lotus flower can relieve summer heat,delight one＇s mind,serve as food and medicine,and signal auspicious omen. Besides,the idea that lotus flower is an suspicious omen signal comes form the influence of the primitive worship and Buddhism and Taoism.
