朱英诞的诗与禅

The Poetry and Chan of Zhu Yingdan

作为一个被历史淹没的京派代表诗人,朱英诞的诗歌于历史洪流之外另辟一块自己的园地。古朴幽美的诗风、澄明空静的诗心、戏言近庄的诗趣,都呈现出与主流诗潮迥别的纯粹诗美。深受中国禅宗文化的浸染,朱英诞的诗歌与“禅”有着不解之缘。隐而不奥的禅语、自由空灵的禅思、借禅为谐的禅趣,诗与禅在朱英诞笔下有着深刻的一致性。不仅以禅入诗,化用禅宗典故,更取法禅宗“藉境观心”的思维方式,叩问生命、宇宙之门。从诗与禅的角度鉴赏朱英诞的诗歌,才能领悟其诗的纤美与广博、真诚与智巧、平淡与梦幻。经由佛意禅旨的点化与浸润,朱英诞的诗歌以潜在而独特的写作方式丰富了现代诗坛。

Zhu Yingdan(1913-1983)is a poet representative of the Beijing school,with his poetry submerged by the annals of history.Zhu’s poetry carves out its own niche beyond the torrents of historical mainstream.His poetic style,characterized by simplicity and elegance,a clear and serene poetic spirit,and a playful yet profound poetic charm,showcases a purity of poetic beauty distinct from the prevailing trends.Profoundly imbued with Chinese Chan(禅)culture,Zhu Yingdan’s poetry shares an inseparable bond with“Chan”.In his works,poetry and Chan converge deeply through the use of subtle Chan sayings,free and spiritual Chan meditation,and the harmonious interest of Chan,demonstrating a profound consistency.Zhu Yingdan not only infuses his poetry with the essence of Chan and employs Chan allusions but also embraces the Chan Buddhist method of“observing the mind through circumstances”,probing the mysteries of life and the universe.It is only through the lens of poetry and Chan that one can fully appreciate the finesse,vastness,sincerity,ingenuity,simplicity,and dreaminess of Zhu Yingdan’s poetry.Enriched by subtle influences and immersion in Buddhist and Chan principles,Zhu Yingdan’s poetry adds a distinct and potent layer to the tapestry of modern poetry.
