靑銅鼎與錯金壺 : 道敎語言在中晩唐詩歌中的使用

Abstract

The mutual use and influence between Taoism language and literary language is a problem rarely touched upon. This paper will consider some words and phrases in Taoist classics widely used by the Tang Dynasty's intellectuals and their use in middle-late Tang Dynasty's poems, in order to point out : --Taoism language functions as a power by which to monopolize the secrecy of linking up God and Man and to play up the splendor of fairyland in extolment and eulogy, therefore, the style tends towards archaic and abstruse and flowery. --The popularity of Taoism in middle-late Tang Dynasty not only influences a lot of man of letters, stimulating their thoughts back in to the ancients, but also makes their poetry archaic and flowery. --The use of Taoism vocabulary in middle-late Tang Dynasty poems and the stimulation of secret experience in the Taoist ritualistic method give the middle-late Tang poems a unique style.
