陈献章与晚明文学思潮

陈献章诗歌真率洒脱、富有情韵,为长期沉寂的明代诗坛注入了一线生机。他论诗求真重趣,已为后来的公安派开启了先声。他的心学受庄禅影响,以致虚、自然和人格自觉为追求,容纳了一些情绪体验,与重性灵的诗学精神有相通之处。基于上述事实,我们说他为晚明文学思想揭开了序幕。

Chen Xianzhang and the Literary Thoughts of Later - Ming Period

Chen Xianzhang breathes vitality into the long silent Ming poetry with his sincere yet free lingering poetic appealing. His claim that poetry should be true and delight sets a paradigm for the late Gongan poetic school. Chen's mind philosophy is rather close to Zhuangzi and Zen, pursuing an emptiness both natural and personal. Together with the emotional experience, such a philosophy is parallel to the poetic spirit. For the reasons above, we may hold that Chen inaugurates the literary trends Later-Ming period.
