唐代文人的蔷薇书写

The Tang Dynasty Literati’s Rose Writing

蔷薇题材诗歌自南朝始有,到唐代才广泛成为文人书写对象,并由此延伸出较为丰富的文化内涵。其一,蔷薇常常出现于以庭院为代表的文人宴饮的场所,通过文人吟咏、唱和、酬赠得以流传,也成为文人集团交往密切的见证。其二,唐代诗人通过视觉、触觉、嗅觉三个方面描写蔷薇,在诗人吟咏间,蔷薇被赋予了人格化特征。其三,唐代开创了蔷薇的另一个代名词“猩猩血”,为唐诗带来了新的趣味。除此之外,不同区域生长的蔷薇寄托了不同的情思,蔷薇成为托物言志和借物抒情的载体。在分析蔷薇文化内涵的基础上,笔者对唐代蔷薇诗的主要意蕴加以分析,发现除表现诗人个性之外,蔷薇亦有独特的象征意义。

The rose-themed poems began in the Southern Dynasties and were not widely written by literati until the Tang Dynasty,thereby extending their rich cultural connotations. First of all,roses often appeared in courtyards and other places of literati feasts,and were circulating through literati chanting,singing and presenting,which witnessed the close contacts among literati groups. Secondly,the Tang Dynasty’s poets described roses through visual sense,tactile sense and the sense of smell,thus roses were endowed with personified characteristics in the process of chanting.Thirdly,another synonym for rose--"scarlet blood"was created in the Tang Dynasty,which brought new meaning to Tang poetry. In addition,roses growing in different areas signified different emotion and became the carrier of one’s ambition and feelings. Based on the analysis of the cultural connotation of roses,the main implication of the rosethemed poems in the Tang Dynasty is analyzed,and it can be found that roses have universally symbolic significance besides showing poets’ personality.
