杜甫“自比稷契”曾引起后世人们的广泛争议,焦点就在于怎样看待和评价诗人的政治理想。本文认为,“自比稷契”既是杜甫的政治理想,又是他的社会理想的一种表达;杜甫是否具有稷契的政治才能或是否实现了那样的政治抱负,并不是问题的关键,也不能简单归咎于他的言高才疏,而应该从他作为一个具有深厚仁义情怀和强烈社会使命感的诗人的角度,去评判其所表达的社会和谐理想的意义与价值。 Du Fu’s “self-Biji Contract” has aroused widespread controversy in later generations, and the focus is on how to treat and evaluate the poet’s political ideal. This article argues that since Bi Qi Qi is not only the political ideal of Du Fu but also an expression of his social ideal, it is not the crux of the matter whether Du Fu has the political aptitude or not of such a political ambition We can not simply blame him for his superficial skill but rather for judging the meaning and value of the social ideal of harmony expressed by him as a poet with profound sense of benevolence and strong social mission.
