孔子的社会实践丰富多彩,旷达的人生态度使他体验到诸多的人生之乐,如学习之乐、朋友相聚之乐、赏乐之乐、山水之乐。孔子的人生之乐具有自己的规定性。随着儒家学派的确立,孔子被神化,也被文学化,战国到两汉期间,以《论语》记载的孔子人生之乐为基础,演绎出许多富有文学色彩的传说故事。这些传说故事选取的是最能代表孔子人生之乐的事象,在题材选择方面具有典型性,合乎文学创作的规律,推动了文学发展和文体的生成演变。

Confucius' Enjoyment of Life and Its Literary Evolvement

Confucius' rich and colourful social practice and his broad-mindedness enable him to experience all kinds of joy in life, such as the joy of learning, meeting friends, enjoying music and touring the country. His enjoyment of life bears his personal character. With the establishment of Confucianism, Confucius is apotheosized and visualized. From the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, many legends are gathered on the basis of Confucius' enjoyment of life recorded in "The Analects of Confucius", which reflect Confucius' typical anecdotes as well as his life enjoyment. Since the selected materials accord with the rule of literary creation, they have promoted the development of literature and the evolvement of writing styles.
