云和露:明前期台阁诗人创作中的政治心态与山林趣味

On Political Mentality and Mountain Interest in the Poems of Taige Poets in the Early Ming Dynasty

云和露两个意象在明前期台阁诗人的创作中呈现出台阁和山林两方面的话语特征。首先,在明初的盛世背景下,云和露以象征祥瑞的功能获得了政治化阐释的逻辑基础。由此出发,云体现了台阁诗人对君主自下而上的追随,反映了由此促生的附从心理;露则代表了君主自上而下的宠遇,彰显了台阁诗人的感恩心态。这一层上下相连的空间维度体现了君臣之间的互动关系,构成台阁诗歌意象语言体系中的明线。其次,云和露也常在写作中被台阁诗人放归自然,表达清新闲适的山林审美趣味。这一特征可以从视觉和味觉的感官维度来考察,须将云和露放置在山林与台阁的对照之中,从而体现台阁诗歌意象语言体系中的暗线。

Cloud and dew,the two common images in the works of Taige poets in the early Ming Dynasty presented the discourse characteristics of the court and mountain.Firstly,in the heyday of the early Ming Dynasty,cloud and dew,as auspicious signs,gained a logical basis for political interpretation.The cloud embodies the bottom-up follow up of Taige poets to the monarch,reflecting their subordination psychology,while the dew represents the top-down favor of the monarch,demonstrating Taige poets’gratitude.The spatial dimensions connected up and down reflect the interactive relationship between the emperor and his subjects,and constitute the open lines in the imagery language system of Taige's poetry.Secondly,cloud and dew is often used by Taige poets to express the fresh and leisurely aesthetic taste of mountains and forests in their poems.All can be seen from vision and taste dimensions.The description of cloud and dew in the court and that in mountains and forests must be placed in contrast,so as to find the hidden lines in the imagery language system of Taige’s poetry.
