《列子》是东晋人假托的一部极具表演特色的书籍,典型地展现了六朝文士的演生心态。书中意欲消泯魏晋以来的有无之辨,将人生视为生死等量齐观的过程。这与六朝文士对于生死大化的挽歌情结十分相似。《列子》作者进一步对命运进行重新解释,用人力与命运交争的主题来反映当时人的命运观。这些与六朝文士咏叹命运的文学主题十分切近。《列子》一书反映了作者与注解者在生死无法预料的情形下,从狂欢走向悲歌的必然历程,从而展现了六朝文士独特的演生历程。 “Liezi” is a very performance-oriented book that the Eastern Jin Dynasty falsified, and typically shows the attitude of the literati in the Six Dynasties. The book is intended to eliminate the Wei and Jin since there is no distinction, the life as the same amount of life and death process. This is very similar to the dynastic sentiment of the Six Dynasties scribes who were born and died. The author of “Liezi” further reinterpreted his destiny and used the theme of the dispute between man and his destiny to reflect the outlook on the fate of the people at that time. These literary themes, which astonished the fate of the Six Dynasties scribes, are very close. The book “Liezi” reflects the inevitable course of the author and annotator from carnival to sad song in the unpredictable circumstances of life and death, thus revealing the unique journey of the scholar in the Six Dynasties.
