日本作家井上靖晚期历史小说的代表作品《本觉坊遗文》运用梦境描写与幻想手法精彩地呈现了死亡这一永恒的文学主题。通过描写主人公千利休对死亡的积极面对以及以自身生命为代价对茶道艺术最高境界的追求,将乱世中茶人的生死鲜明地浮现出来。在作品中,肉体的毁灭升华为艺术中的永生。死亡本身成为追寻生存真正意义之纯粹路径,获得了终极生命的含义。 The representative works of Japanese writer Inoue Yasuharu’s late historical novels, Benjō-wu, use the mode of describing and imagining dreams to present the timeless literary theme of death. By describing the positive face of death by the hero Qianlixue and the pursuit of the highest state of art of tea ceremony at the expense of his own life, the life and death of the tea people in the chaotic world are clearly revealed. In the work, the destruction of the flesh sublimated into eternal life in the arts. Death itself has become the pure pursuit of the true meaning of existence and has acquired the meaning of ultimate life.
