“庄老告退,山水方滋”是刘勰在《文心雕龙·明诗》中提出来的,其涉及到中国诗歌尤其是山水诗的流变历程,是文学史上很重要的一个说法。但是长期以来各路方家对此的论述莫衷一是,同是反对或赞成的也各不相同。为了真正理解刘勰的原意,进一步认识这条理论在诗歌史上的意义,把其放在文学史的大背景中去全面的考察无疑具有一定的意义。 “Zhuang Lao retreat, landscape Fang Zi ” is Liu Xie in the “Wen Xin Diao Long Ming Poetry” put forward, which relates to the Chinese poetry, especially the history of landscape poetry is a very important history in literature . However, the arguments made by various parties on the road for a long period of time have been totally different. They also oppose or agree with each other differently. In order to really understand Liu Xie’s original intention and further understand the significance of this theory in the history of poetry, it is undoubtedly of certain significance to study it comprehensively in the context of literary history.
