东方先生很善于在别人想不到的地方挖掘出异样的话题来,这种批判精神令人钦佩。细想一下,他说得确实在理。但是顺着此思路再走下去,还有说头。西方文艺复兴运动颠覆的是神权专制,因此把人类拖入一片浩瀚的天地,而宋代的君权专制是个有盖的苍穹,此乾坤再大最后也要拜倒在一个血肉之躯的膝下。因此,东方先生说唐诗不怎么样,我要说宋代的思想家也不过是带着枷板的舞者,不但难与孔子等先哲比肩,更难望及稍晚一些的西哲之项背了。 Mr. Dongfang is very good at digging out exotic topics where other people can not think of. This critical spirit is admirable. Think about it, he said really reasonable. But go down this line of thinking, there is talk. The Western Renaissance movement subverts the autocratic dictatorship, so dragging mankind into a vast expanse of heaven and earth, while the dictatorship of the Song dynasty was a covered sky, and this heaven and earth again finally fell to the knees of a flesh and blood. Therefore, Mr. Dong Fang said that Tang poetry is not very good. I would say that the Song thinkers are no more than dancers with flail. It is not only difficult to stand shoulder to shoulder with pioneers such as Confucius, but even more hopeless is the late Western philosophy.
