杜诗“逃禅”一词议

Explanation of "Taochan" in Dufu's Poem

"逃禅"一词出自杜甫《饮中八仙歌》,宋以后,文人多用之,但其意义却多有不同,历代注家对此词的理解也多有歧义。杜诗"逃禅",其义实为"逃出禅戒",后引申发展为"遁世而参禅事佛",即逃入禅,同时,在此基础上延伸出第三义:禅坐,有类似禅定之状态。

The word "Taochan" comes from Dufu's poem of "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking".It has been frequently used by literators since Song Dynasty.However,it is endowed with different meanings and interpretations.In fact,in Dufu's poem,the original meaning was "leaving Buddhist monastic discipline",and then it extended to "evading the earthliness and worship Buddha",namely "going into Buddha".Meanwhile,it got the third meaning,Chanzuo,which is similar to the Buddhist fixation.
