王维山水诗之生机证悟

The Enlightenment(cheng-wu)on Life in Wang Wei’s Scenic Poetry

王维的山水诗之所以能在中国文学史上保持其生命力,不仅在于诗人的山水描写本身,更在于诗人通过其生命实践而产生并体现在诗歌中的生生不息的生机证悟。这种生机证悟体现在以下三个方面:首先,自然景观蓬勃向上的生命力量表现了诗人对自然力量的体悟;其次,自然山水的幽静闲适触发了诗人禅意的生存信仰;第三,自然生态万物共荣、和谐共序的生存基调体现了诗人天人合一的生态精神。本文认为王维山水诗中生机证悟的产生受到多种因素的影响:盛唐时代特有的社会、文化、文学、生态和政治基础,诗人个人曲折的生平经历和高超的艺术能力,儒释道三家思想的交互影响以及诗人对自然山水的自觉观照。

The reason for the fact that Wang Wei’ s scenic poetry could maintain its dynamic in Chinese history of literature is not only rooted in his depiction of scenery,but also in his enlightenment(cheng-wu)on life,which was gained through his life experiences and reflected in his poems.This kind of enlightenment on life was materialized in three aspects.First,the vitality in natural landscape triggered the poet’s enlightment.Second,the quietness and cosiness of nature had an impact on the poet’s choice of Zen lifestyle.Last,the dominate hue of everything in nature being in harmony and sharing prosperity reflected the poet’ s belief in "God and man are one",which was also an example of ecological spirits.There were many factors that contributed to Wang Wei’ s enlightenment in his scenic poems:social,cultural,literary,ecological and political foundation of the Glorious Age of Tang Dynasty,twists and turns in his life,his superb artistic ability,reciprocal influences from Confucianism,Taoism and Buddhism and poet’ s active contemplation on natural landscape.
