从《御览诗》看中唐后期士风与诗风的走向

Seeing the Tendency of the Scholarly and Poetic Styles in the Late Mid-Tang Dynasty from "Poems for Emperors

中唐元和后期,随着宪宗前期清明政治的逆转,元、白针砭时弊,关注现实的"新乐府"诗已失去存在的现实依托。在历经理想破灭、仕途坎坷的痛苦后,元和士人的积极进取精神和儒士的兼济情怀遭到严重摧抑。迷惘、失落中,他们普遍回归自我,在艳情或闲适中安顿心灵,寻求安慰,齐梁浮靡诗风再度受到青睐。《御览诗》的编集正是当时整个社会士人心态和审美趣味的集中体现。

In the late Yuanhe Period of Mid-Tang Dynasty, with the turning of the politics of the early Xianzong's rule, Yuan and Bai demoted the frauds of that time. Those 'xinyuefu' poems lost the bases in reality. After going through the disillusionment and ups and downs in their official careers, the scholars of the Yuanhe period suffered so greatly that they lost their enterprising spirit and generosity. Bewildered and lost, they generally returned to self and tried to seek comfort in love affairs or leisure. So the extravagant style of Qi and Liang Dynasties prevailed. The compilation of the 'Poems for Emperors' was just the embodiment of the mental state and aesthetic taste of the scholars at that time.
