《六一诗话》的禅学色彩

On the Features of Zen Buddhism in Liu Yi Poetry

欧阳修《六一诗话》受宋初理学与禅学的共同影响,前者因符合时代主流思想而凸显,后者因违背儒家传统价值观念而被遮蔽。讨论欧阳修禅学思想,不仅需追溯其一生与僧人、门人群体的交往情况,考虑其早年的排佛举动是否出于自愿,而且还需结合宋初复古背景,考察古文运动对宋初文坛的深刻影响。《六一诗话》一方面在诗学技艺上表现出机锋论诗、句有法眼等禅学思维,另一方面在诗学品性上体现出平淡、“蔬茹”“酸馅”的禅学趣味。

Liu Yi Poetry by Ouyang Xiu was influenced by Confucianism and Zen in the early song Dynasty. The former was highlighted because it was in line with the mainstream of The Times, while the latter was obscured because it violated the traditional values of Confucianism. To discuss Ouyang Xiu’s Zen thought, we should not only trace his life’s interaction with monks and gatekeepers, but also consider whether his early rejection of Zen was voluntary. In addition, it is necessary to combine the background of the early Song dynasty and investigate the profound influence of the ancient prose movement on the literary circle. The strong Zen color of Liu Yi Poerty is related to this. On the one hand, in poetics, Notes on Poetry shows zen thinking such as nonsense and dharma eyes. On the other hand,in poetic character, it is plain, “vegetable taste” and “sour taste” of Zen.
