从《诗经》看周人生命意识的觉醒

生命意识,是人类生存发展的基本动力。我国第一部诗歌总集《诗经》,“大体上反映了周代的社会面貌和人民的思想感情”,它艺术地凸现了周人从文化演进中汲取的丰富生命资源,隐喻了他们逐渐走向觉醒、解放、强化的内在生命理路,澄清了周人在这一历史段落中不断滋长的人伦意识。这样的生存体验不仅是原始天命观念、祖先崇拜观念等商周思想意识流变的作用物,而且构成我们从《诗经》透析周人生命意识的思维视点。

Zhou-Dynasty People's Awakening of Life Consciousness in The Book of Songs

Life consciousness is a primary power for existence and development of humankind.The Book of Songs,the first collection of poetry of our country,generally reflected social look and ideology and sentiment of people in the Zhou Dynasty,showed aesthetically people's abundant resources of life absorbed from cultural evolution,alluded the process of their attitude toward life from awakening,emancipation to rootedness,and revealed their ever-enhancing human relations awareness in that period.Such experience of living not only reserved the power of changing ideology of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties including a primitive idea of fate,worship for ancestor,etc.,but also provided us a perspective for analyzing people's consciousness toward life of that era.
