失志以后的歌哭——曹植、阮籍诗歌比较

曹植之失志 ,是被“夺志”;阮籍之失志 ,则是“弃志”。失志原因的不同导致了他们在心境、安顿身心的方法和诗歌的抒情方式的差异。曹植因失意而痛苦 ,却无法忘怀已被剥夺的志向 ,在现实生活中无法安顿身心 ;阮籍孤独而苦闷 ,怀疑甚至否定一切传统的价值观念。曹植采用比兴的手法 ,抒情中带有“缘事而发”的乐府精神 ;阮籍则意欲摆脱具体事实 ,注重更为纯粹的情感抒发

Poems of Their Latter Half Lives

Cao Zhi was deprived of his ideals,while Ruan Ji relinquished his himself.The different reasons for their respective loss of ambitions resulted in the difference in their mood,in the way they seeked settlement and consolation both physically and mentally,and in their poetic lyric styles.Cao Zhi makes use of the device of "Bi Xing" which makes his lyricism with the touch of Yue Fu "expressing emotion deriving from events".Instead Ruan Ji tends to free his poems from concrete facts and attaches more importance to the spontaneous outflow of powerful feelings.
