柳宗元寫景詩試探

A Preliminary Study of Liu Zongyuan's Landscape Poems

柳宗元在中國文學史上的地位已是無庸置疑，他和韓愈所領導的古文運動，更將中國文學帶進另一個嶄新的階段。至於其在詩歌方面的成就，則集中表現在五言絕句上面，特別是〈江雪〉、〈漁翁〉等名作，一舉將五言詩的創作水準推向巔峰。然而，他也有不少與寫景有關的詩作傳世，由於特殊的政治遭遇，使得他有更多時間和機會流連山林，倘佯水湄，進一步促成了寫景詩的創作，因此不論題材內容或藝術風格，都有其獨到之處，然而因為他詩歌中和寫景有關的作品不在少數，本文並無意對其寫景性質的作品加以整理或界分，只是就他較具典型的寫景詩進行探究，以期歸納出這類作品之特色。

Liu Zongyuan's remarkable position in the history of Chinese literature is undisputed. Along with Han Yu, Liu promoted the Classical Prose Movement, bringing Chinese literature into a new era. As for his poetic achievement, Liu is best known for his five-character quatrains. His most celebrated works, such as Jiangxue (River snow) and Yu Weng (An Old Fisherman), may be regarded as the zenith of five character poetry. In addition, many of Liu's landscape poems have survived. In exile, he had more leisure roaming around mountains and waters, which further allowed his production of landscape poems to flourish. Hence, Liu's political adversity was the source of his unique poetic themes and artistic style. Because he produced a considerable number of poems portraying landscapes, this article does not seek to define or classify his works featuring landscape portrayal; instead, it seeks to probe into his typical landscape poems, in order to summarize the characteristics of this type of poetry.
