白居易“效陶诗”心路历程溯源

白居易晚年一味独善其身,知足保和,提出中隐理论并以“似出复似处”的中隐模式庸俗地生活着。他消极的人生观表现为乐天知命、退守自持的儒家思想、老庄“知足止辱”、佛家色空观的杂糅。他晚年的效陶诗,究其精神实质来说并非积极意义上的学陶。陶渊明诗歌的“无我之境”和他伟大的人格是白居易效陶诗欲学而不能的。

Tracing the Mental History of Bai Juyi in his Poems after the Tao Style

Indulged in self-purification with content and peace during his old life,Bai Juyi proposed the doctrine of seclusion while living a worldly life as characterized in the saying "being seemingly out of the world but in it as well." His negative view of life revealed a combination of the Confucian concept of resigning to fate with retreat to the self,the Taoist concept of "being contented and knowing disgrace",and the Buddhist concept of matter and void.The essential spirit of his poems after the style of Tao Yuanming at later life is anything but a positive imitation of the earlier poet.The "non-self meaningful realm " of Tao Yuanming and his great personality are what Bai Juyi desired but failed to attain.
