三昧酒与柳宗元之志:《法华寺西亭夜饮》新解

Samadhi Wine and Liu Zongyuan’s Ambition:The New Interpretation about The Poetry Drinking in the West Building of Fahua Temple at Night

柳宗元元和四年(809)所作《法华寺西亭夜饮》,是其饮酒诗中最特殊的一首,因为诗人创造性地使用了三昧酒、夕阳亭等关键意象,尤其是三昧酒意象。而且,诗人使用的意象群,大都蕴含了深刻的佛学义旨,其中,最重要的一点是借三昧酒言志,重在抒发大乘佛教和儒家都提倡的济世思想。此外,柳宗元首创的三昧酒意象,对后世佛教诗歌的创作也产生了一定的影响。

The Poetry Drinking in the West Building of Fahua Temple at Night,wrote by Liu Zongyuan in the fourth year of Yuanhe,was the most special drinking poem.Because the poet creatively uses key images such as Samadhi Wine and Sunset Pavilion.Moreover,most of the images used by poets contain profound Buddhist thoughts.Among them,the most important is to express the author’s aspiration through Samadhi Wine.It focuses on expressing the thoughts of helping the world advocated by Mahayana Buddhism and Confucianism.In addition,the image of samadhi created by Liu Zongyuan also has a certain impact on the creation of Buddhist poetry in later generations.
