论阎朝隐诗歌之“奇”

On the Oddness of Yan Chaoyin's Poetry

阎朝隐作为科举晋升的文辞之士,其诗歌存世虽少,但以"性奇诡""善构奇"而著称于世,屡屡捉刀代笔,甚至得到武则天的赞赏,这于他所处的社会现实和政治需要密不可分。在武则天与唐中宗时代的政治高压、粉饰太平和个人晋升的条件下,阎朝隐在诗歌之中借鉴了东方朔的"染迹朝隐,和而不同"来展示其存世之道,借助宴饮应制诗的"丽色靓妆,观者忘忧"来诉求其晋升之由。这也为中国古代文人在仕宦浮沉中找到了一条"光明"之路,对后世产生了重要的影响。

As the poet promoted in the imperial examination, Yan Chaoyin has left a few works. How ever, his poetry is famous for the oddness meaning, strangeness in the structure, even praised by the Emperor Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in the history of China. This is closely connected with his social reality and political requirements. Under the condition of political high pressure of Wu Zetian and Tang Zhongzong era, fake prosperity and personal promotion, Yan Chaoyin borrowed the Dong Fangshuo＇s doctrine to work in the government while having different thought to show his survival means in the poem, through the feast and drinking in the poem to watch the beauty outside and forget the worry of world to pursue the promotion, finding a way for the man of letters in the ancient China in the government, having great significance to the later generations.
