唐代首位宗陶诗人王绩评略

长期以来,研究家在对唐代祖述陶渊明诗作之辈的评析中,忽略了一位极不应忽略的人物。他就是初唐四杰之一王勃的从祖王绩。从其创作的诗文看,王氏乃将陶渊明引为同调,并将其作为效法榜样。他不独明言“尝爱陶渊明”,更以“渊明对酒,非礼义能拘”自况,并亦步亦趋地仿效陶渊明的诸种之为。其诗作,情感之真挚,语言之质朴,与陶渊明“真率自然”之风显系一脉相承。他将陶诗的意境,生动表现于五绝的寥寥二十字之中,对田园诗发展做出了贡献。特别是用五律反映田园生活,王绩更属唐代第一人。他以自己的创作,架起了从陶渊明到王维、孟浩然间的一座桥梁,今后在评述唐代山水田园诗时,对此应予以足够注意。

The Slight Judgment for Wang Ji, the First Poet with Zongtao Style in Tang Dynasty

Wang Ji, who is Wang Bo＇s grandfather＇s brother and one of the four celebrates in the early Tang dynasty, was ignored for long time by the researchers when they were researching and criticizing the Tao Yuanming＇s works. According to his poetries, researchers found out that Wang＇s descendants took Tao＇s style as their example. He asserted that they like Tao Yuanming, and was drinking with Tao. And they imitate Tao＇s ac- tions step by step. His literal real emotion and his honest words are in accord with Tao＇s poetic style. He con- tributed to pastoral poetic style a lot by his poetic higher - leveled state and vivid twenty words with four - lined five -charactered poem. Especially, he reflected the pastoral life by five -charactered poem. The person who could achieve this is Wang Ji who was the first person of Tang dynasty. He made a bridge for Tao Yuanming, Wang Wei, and Meng Haoran. That point should be drawn more attention when we criticize the poems of pasto- ral style in Tang dynasty.
