论中晚唐文人的“隋堤柳”书写

The Poems on"Willows of Suidi"Written by the Literati in the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty

柳是中国文学史上一个意蕴丰富的意象。大业元年(605),隋炀帝修通济渠以达江淮,两岸所植柳树后世称为“隋堤柳”。唐中后期,文坛出现了大量以“隋堤柳”为主题的诗作,其中以白居易《隋堤柳》、韦庄《河传》为代表,形成了独特的亡国意象,反映了中晚唐文人矛盾复杂的心态。中晚唐文人感伤时局,其“隋堤柳”的吟咏模式,成为文学史上独特的文化符号。

Willow is an important image in the history of Chinese literature.In 605,Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty ordered to excavate Tongji Canal stretching to the regions of Yangtze River and Huaihe River and the willow trees planted on both sides of the river were later called Willows of Suidi.In the middle and late Tang dynasty,there were a large number of poems which depicted willows of Suidi.With Bai Juyi′s Willows of Suidi and Weizhuang′s Song of the Canal as the representative,they portrayed a unique image of national subjugation and reflected the complex mentality of the literati in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.All these poems depicting the willow of Sudi and the sentimental mood of the literati in the middle and late Tang dynasty have become a unique cultural symbol in the history of literature.
