欲济无舟楫——晏子文化人格的内涵

晏子是优秀的政治家,但其内心深处却潜藏着巨大的痛苦,根源在于他把自己看做“士”,渴望建功立业实现人生价值,但君权至上的宗法等级社会却使他只能处于维护君权的从属地位,没有给他提供实现愿望的条件。这种痛苦是文化人格悲剧二重性的体现,它产生于春秋战国时代,渗透于中国文学发展的各个历史时期,形成了中国文学悲壮昂扬、愤激苍凉的艺术风格。

No Means for the Help- Connotation of Cultural Personality of Yan Zi

As an excellent politician, Yan Zi felt a great pain in the heart of his hearts, because he considered himself a scholar and longed for making great contributions and for self actualization, but the society of patriarchal hierarchy placed him in subordinate position to monarchical power, which it was his duty to maintain but afforded him no conditions for his ambition. This bitterness embodies the tragic duality in his cultural personality, which emerged in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Period of the Warring States, penetrating into every historic period in the development of Chinese literature, forming the artistic style of Chinese literature in the characteristics of being solemn and stirring, being high-spirited and being desolate with soreness.
