从“宫怨”题材透视中国古代知识分子的生命形态

Life Form of Ancient Chinese Scholars Seen from Works Expressing "Grievances of maids Inwaiting

“宫怨”是古典文学作品较多的题材之一。从古代知识分子的生命形态来看 ,以唐诗为高峰的“宫怨”题材写作非常有象征意味 ,一个知识分子生命意义的“实现”就恰如宫女一般是来自皇帝的“赏爱”。换句话说 ,生命意义实现的动力不是自我的主动发挥 。

Grievance of maid inwaiting'is one of the popular themes in classical literature.Judged from ancient Chinese scholars' life form,Tang poetry,which is considered peak of this kind of writing,is highly symbolic:the achievement of a scholar's lilfe significance is just like a maid inwaiting's favor from the emperor.In other words,the motive force to achieve life's significance is not from the positive effort of oneself but from negative waiting for others'favor and promotion.
