前后《赤壁赋》优劣之争与苏轼思想的再认识

Debates on the Merits and Demerits ofFu of Chibi (Ⅰ) and Fu of Chibi (Ⅱ): AReflection of Su Shi's Thinking

黄州期间是苏轼文学创作和思想转变非常重要的一个时期。明代以来围绕《赤壁》二赋之优劣展开了广泛探讨,梳理之后可以发现,抛开技巧、结构的具体对比,明清针对《赤壁》二赋的争论焦点,实际正指向于文章的思想层面。因此,二赋的优劣对比,隐含着苏轼人生思考状况的考察,而这与他逐渐形成的体道方式有关。苏轼体道方式的框架与《东坡易传》中对"道""性"的阐发相呼应,它超越了佛、道、儒的简单叙述,在不断的人生实践中,形成了苏轼旷达适意的观物处世态度。

Su Shi's (苏轼)exile in Huangzhou (黄州)was a very important period of his literary creation and ideological change. Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been widespread discussions around the merits and demerits of Fu of Chibi (I)(《前赤壁赋》))and Fu of Chibi ( II)(《后赤壁赋》).After an analysis and summary , we can see that the focus of debate about the two literary works by Su Shi during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was actually on the level of their ideas, apart from the specific comparison of their writing skills and structures. So the comparison of Su Shi' s two literary works implied an observation on his reflection on life , which was related to the way he gradually developed in experiencing Tao(道).And the framework of the way he experienced Tao matched his elaboration of "Tao" and "Nature"(性)discussed in Su Shi 1 s Explanations of the Book of Change (《东坡易传》).By analyzing Su Shi's other works, we may draw a conclusion that his way of experiencing Tao exceeded a simple narration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. In his constant life practice , Su Shi formed his philosophy of life, which was characterized with broadmindedness and congeniality.
