《花间集》道教书写论微

Taoist Culture in Among the Flowers: the Hua-chien Chi

巴蜀地区是我国道教发祥地之一。唐末五代之时,巴蜀高道辈出,他们与王室有着很紧密的关系,蜀中道教在其推动下蓬勃发展,文学创作也带有明显的道教因子。编纂于后蜀广政三年前后的《花间集》,既要契合后蜀后主孟昶高雅的文化品位,也为大众提供了一种合乐可歌的范本,含有道教情韵的作品受到编者的重点关注,所以该书收录了诸多与道教典故相关的词调,如《女冠子》《巫山一段云》《临江仙》《河渎神》《天仙子》等,同时,也选择了许多使用道教意象的词作,以表达咏史、求仙、及第的主题,有着可供各阶层欣赏的道教风致。

Bashu area is one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China.In the late Tang and the Five Dynasties,many eminent Taoists from Bashu had close relationship with the royal family;Taoism therefore prospered and Taoist factors were obviously reflected in the literature of that time.Compiled in around the 3rd year of Guangzheng Period in the Houshu Dynasty,940 A.D.,Hua-chien Chi was in line with the aesthetic taste of Meng Chang,the last ruler of Houshu;meanwhile,it also served as a model for the collection of song-poems,popular among the public.With great affection for Taoism,besides poems applying Taoist images to eulogize historic events,pray to Heaven or pray for a smooth career,the compiler collected a tremendous amount of poems in relation to literary allusions to Taoism,for example,Song of a Lady's Crown,A Cloud in Wushan,Immortal at the River,River God,and Song of Fairy,all of which were well received by the highbrows and lowbrows.
