中唐时期园林的转型

The Transformation of Gardens in the Middle Tang Dynasty

中唐时期,士人内敛化与精致化的心态,与"中隐"思想一起,促使安顿士人心灵的场所由山林和朝堂转向了园林,从而对园林发展产生深远影响。园林作为士人越来越重视的精神家园,成为一个封闭狭小又充满诗情画意的"壶中天地"。在此背景下,白居易的"中隐"思想和"小园"实践,对后世园林发展产生了重要影响。

After the Middle Tang Dynasty,the mentalities of scholars were gradually introverted and refined. This change together with the idea of medium-hermit being the best turned the place of calming down the scholars＇ minds from mountain forest and the court to gardens,resulting in the profound effects on the development of garden. As the spiritual home concerned more and more by scholars,gardens had become narrow-closure but romantic pot-like places. Under such background, BAI Ju-yi＇s idea of medium-hermit being the best and practices of using small garden as hermit place for his spiritual calm significantly influenced the development of garden.
