酒醒却咨嗟:苏轼的诗酒精神

Lament with Sighs while Sober up:SU Shi’s Spirit of Wine in Poetry

苏轼是中国文化史上第一等殊绝人物,赓续了中国传统诗酒精神。作为“放达型儒者”,苏轼在酒诗、酒词、酒文中展现了对于宇宙人生、性与天道的理解。苏轼在诗酒中消遣胸怀、放逐心志,以“醉眠高饱”来消解仕途跌宕起伏所带来的无奈,追求心灵自由从而抵制名利的侵蚀;在诗酒生涯中,苏轼轻视名利,但并未因此放弃人伦之道,表现出了“出世间而即世间”的人生智慧,即以出世的精神来慨然领受现世的苦难与美好。在苏轼看来,人生虽然短暂,但没有必要为此忧世伤生,而应在诗酒中展现生命的丰富性并构建意义世界,呈现人的浩然之气。苏轼的诗酒精神超脱世俗功名,正视醉饱姿态但又不否定现世的价值,“酒醒”之后不是逃离世界,而是在有限的处境中借助诗情酒意去领会无限的人生意义。

Su Shi is the first unique figure in the history of Chinese culture,who continues the Chinese traditional Spirit of Wine in Poetry.As a Liberal Confucian,Su’s poetic terms and proses of wine reveal understanding of the nature of the universe,human nature and the way of heaven.Su let go and relived his mind in poems,eliminated the helplessness brought by arduous official career through drunkenness,satiety and well sleep.He also resisted the erosion of fame and fortune for pursuing spiritual freedom.In his life,Su did not give up the way of humanity,showing the life wisdom of“world out of this world that is”,namely,to embrace the sufferings and beauty of the world generously through the spirit of“lokuttara”.In Su’s view,there is no need to worry about the world as life is short,instead,what we should do is to reveal the richness of life in poetry and wine,to construct The Meaning World,and to show the Awe-inspiring spirit.It is Su’s Poetry in Wine Spirit that transcends the secular fame and reputation,faces up to the drunkenness and the satiety without denying the value of the world,and grasps the infinite meaning of life with the aid of poetry and wine in the limited life instead of escaping from the world.
