陶渊明的朋友圈与交友之道

Tao Yuanming's Circle of Friends and Ways of Making Friends

陶渊明一生最喜友朋,友朋不仅是他生活的内容,甚至与友人相处是他的生活方式。他主张友朋间要"相知",尤其重视"择有道而交",渴望结交志同道合的君子。陶渊明又颇具君子之风,对友人显出一种豁达宽容的态度,即使友人"语默自殊势",志趣有变,诗人也在不放弃自我原则的前提下,不以眼前的分歧来否定昔日的情谊。他总是以自然的态度与友朋交往,这使得他一直处于和睦、温暖的人际关系之中。与此同时,既然现实人生中难寻同道,诗人就发挥想象的作用,向古圣先贤寻找知己,结识了一批别样的友朋,即通过读书的办法,尚友古人,于是那些闪耀人性光彩的先贤走进了他的生活,并以非凡人格力量帮助陶渊明独善其身,完成自我。
