先秦两汉诗歌山水审美意象的书写探究

Abstract

The academia has paid more attention to the writing of landscape poetry in its initial and mature stage, but lacks of attention to the landscape writing of the poetry in pre-Qin and Han dynasties. The aesthetic image of landscape in Book of Songs implies early reverence and meaning of virtue for landscape, as well as literary meaning of evocation, but subjectively there is not much natural aesthetics. The image of vanilla and beauty in Songs of Chu implies nobleness because of Qu Yuan’s life experience. From Book of Songs, moral view of landscape has developed into a combination of natural aesthetics and human spirit. This not only opens up Sao-style and image of other landscape poetry in later generations, but also sets an example for noble quality of life emotion expressed by landscape poetry in the future. Nineteen Ancient Poems in Han Dynasty contains too much eschatological sadness, so landscape are mainly described with the method of evocation, while Yang Yun’s Geshi indicates that pastoral feeling of landscape have already attracted the attention of literati. Although in landscape writing of poetry about immortals, there are some entertainment elements in the performance of Yuefu poetry, sadness of migration and impermanence of life and death are problems that literati have to face. Therefore, leaving from the society described in fairyland landscape and going into the society in the from of virtue and achievement in Confucianism are a contradictory complex most of the time, which is an inevitable development of literati’s view of nature.
