论孙绰

A Study of Sun Chuo

东晋中期名士孙绰,出身于太原孙氏家族,曾做官,有诗文创作,才高而“性鄙”。孙绰好讥讽,对自己的才华非常自信。孙绰喜好山水之美,和众多名僧有往来。从孙绰的文学作品和政治活动中可以看出其偏安江南的消极心理。孙绰服膺儒家,崇奉道家,笃信佛教,这集中表现在其行为和文章中。

Sun Chuo, born in the Taiyuan Sun Clan, was a famous scholar in the Middle Eastern Jin Dynasty. He had an official and poetry creation with uncommon brilliance, but conducted not very well. Sun Chuo was sarcastic, for he was very confident of his talent. He enjoyed mountains and water landscapes. And he had an intimate association with eminent monks. From Sun Chuo's literary works and political activities, we can see he was content to exercise sovereignty over the south of Changjiang River. Sun Chuo's thoughts were compatible with Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, which can be seen from his behavior and works.
