宋诗的“止酒”主题

On the Theme of“Stopping Drinking”in Song Poetry

宋代的酿酒技术水准有显著的提升,饮酒风习在新的条件下更为普及,“止酒”也成为宋代社会习用语。宋代文献涉及“止酒”的语言遗存多与陶渊明《止酒》诗有关。宋人以“止酒”为主题的诗作展现了对酒和文化人生之关系的认识。有关“止酒”的多种文化态度的表达,反映了诗人们的隐逸思想趣向,也涉及疾病史、医学史知识的积累以及注重养生的健康追求。宋代诗人通过“止酒”透露的文化个性与人生态度,值得文学史家瞩目。宋诗“和陶”风习与“止酒”咏唱,以及与“止酒”相关的社会现象,或许可以看作中国古代酒史以及酒文化史别有文化风味的一页。

With technic progress in brewing wine,drinking had become popular in Song dynasty,and“giving up drinking”was advocated by more and more people.Having probably been part of the legacy of Tao Yuanming s(355-427)poem“Drinking No More”,the theme of stopping drinking in Song literature reflected the attitudes of Song people toward drinking alcohol and how much they cherished life itself.Of course,this phenomenon had to do with diseases caused by too much drinking,the accumulation of medical knowledge and people's growing desire for a healthy life.The Song poetical theme on stopping drinking and related social practice in that period not only deserve the attention of literary historians,but can also be regarded as an interesting chapter in the history of Chinese brewing industry and wine-drinking culture.
