魏晋南北朝海洋诗歌中的生命意识

Abstract

The Wei Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties is not only a period of storm and stress, but also a period of deep life color. The scholars who living in this age witness the rise and fall of different dynasties, passive political strife, and the suffering of separation and death. And in the turbulent social context, the self-consciousness of the individual and the life consciousness of the scholars were during gradual Awakening, and they were also highlighted in the literature and art. As the origin of life, the sea is not only closely related to life in science, but also blending literature with life-consciousness in many forms and shape into ocean-poetry, ocean-Fu etc. Their ocean poetry not only carries their depression and pain, ideality and affectionate writing, but also lurks many types of life consciousness when they sigh over the passage of time, fear for the future of our country, treat life with positive and motivational thoughts or regard life with indifferent attitude. This paper discusses the life consciousness contained in the ocean poetry of this period from two aspects which is the loss of life value and the pursuits of life value. It is found that although the keynote of the life consciousness is sad, there is joy in the sadness. Even a part of the scholars generated a kind of rational and conscious life realm. In particular, the loss of life is reflected in two aspects : the lamentation of limited life, namely, lamented the transient life or the lives out-of- control. The second is the mournful indignation of bereavement which happened in their love, fellowship and family. In the pursuit of the meaning of life, the ocean poetry was mainly written from two aspects, the pursuit of the value of real life and the transcendence of the existing realm of life. The poets often combine their own experiences to express the power, comfort and peace given to them by the ocean. The excitement of the ocean gives them a positive power of pursuing their dream, the breadth of the ocean gives them spiritual comfort, and they also gained the courage to leave reality, formed the realm of life of rational freedom, and try to practice this ideal realm by themselves.
