摘要
在中国古代文学作品中,海是百川汇聚之处,是广阔的、博大的、深邃的、永恒的、雄壮的。这一观念常常通过浩浩、茫茫、荡荡、洋洋、无际涯、不可极、吞吐日月等词语来直接表达,也常常用鲲鹏、长鲸、巨鳌、大鹏、惊涛骇浪等意象来形象描述。中国古代文人对海洋的认知,更多的是精神层面,而非物质和现实层面;他们对大海的歌颂,体现了他们自己追求自由的精神、豪迈的气质、远大的志向和广阔的胸怀。
In Chinese ancient marine literature, the ocean is the place where all rivers flow to. It represents vastness, broad- ness, profoundness, majesty and eternity. This concept of ocean was frequently expressed in the words of vastness, numerous- ness, greatness, limitlessness, being untouchable, and swallowing the sun and the moon. It was also expressed by the means of images of roc, whale, a huge legendary turtle, and terrifying waves. Chinese ancient literati based their understanding of ocean on the spiritual level, rather than the material and realistic level. They eulogized the ocean in order to express their spirit of free- dom pursuit, heroic temperament, lofty ambition and broad mind.
