19世纪初,梭罗在瓦尔登湖畔独居26个月后写成《瓦尔登湖》,描述了在一个人在湖边的所思所见,展示出一个人的湖畔生活。20世纪90年代,刘亮程在散文集《一个人的村庄》中叙述了一个人视野中的村庄,记录了所见所思。通过两本书的阅读比较,比较叙述内容,分析不同的原因所在,继而发现两者关于天人合一的共通之处,展示两者如何表现诗意地栖居的美学人生境界。 In the early 19th century, Thoreau wrote “Walden” after living alone for 26 months at Walden Lake, depicting a man’s lakeside life as he saw and saw one by the lake. In the 1990s, Liu Liangcheng narrated a man’s vision of the village in the essay “One Man’s Village,” documenting what was thought and done. By comparing the two books, comparing narrative content and analyzing different reasons, we find out the similarities and demerits of both man and nature, and show how the two represent the realm of poetic aesthetics.
