Title:: Creation Based on the Current Trends: Innovations in Meng Jiao’s Poems

摘要:: 处中唐之世,受崇尚主观的佛、道二教影响,受追求瘦硬的审美风尚濡染,受皎然主变诗学观的启发,孟郊诗表现出崇主观、尚瘦硬、求理致的新变取向。其“崇主观”,主要表现在诗歌意象的创造,从“文章得其微,物象由我裁”的认识出发,孟郊构拟了山水组诗以及与韩愈联句中的奇崛意象,奠定了“韩孟诗派”的险怪基调。其“尚瘦硬”,主要表现在锤炼狠重有力的字眼,选用质地坚硬的物象和采用奇险斩截的形式。其“求理致”,主要表现为借象明理、以情驭理和语参道佛。孟郊诗的新变取向,已开宋诗之先声。

Abstract:: In the mid-Tang Dynasty, due to the influence of Buddhism and Taoism advocating subjectivity, the aesthetic taste for simplicity and harshness, and the inspiration from Jiao Ran’s views on poetry characterized by seeking changes, the poems of Meng Jiao displayed a relentless pursuit of subjectivity in image creation; simplicity and harshness in style; and reason in philosophical underpinning. In terms of images in poetry, Meng Jiao created a large number of series of landscape poems and usual images in the poems co-authored with Han Yu, setting the gloomy and eccentric tone for “Han-Meng” poetic school. Also, he preferred forceful and harsh words and images of a solid texture in a theme-oriented form. Moreover, he pursued rational thinking through explicating his ideas with images in nature, expressing his strong emotion and drawing wisdom from Buddhism and Taoism. In a word, innovations in Meng Jiao’s poems predicted the poetic taste of the Song Dynasty.
