德国浪漫主义诗人荷尔德林与中国田园诗人陶渊明都被誉为“诗人中的诗人”,他们的诗中都蕴涵着深深的“故土”情结.研究他们的代表作——荷氏的《返乡》与陶氏的《归去来兮辞》,都有许多耐人寻味的地方.尽管文化背景、文化语境、情感基调不一,然而,他们构筑的对“诗意栖居”的憧憬和神往却折射出人类共同的生命艺术境界.本论文分别从两首诗的归因、归程、归宿三方面来论述,两种文化和不同地理环境的特质和基因塑造了两个不同时代、不同地域的诗人,形成了他们别具风格的诗境.

German's romantic poet Holderlin and China's pastoral poet Tao Yuanming have both been known as the "poet of poets". Their poems all contain a deep "homeland" complex. The study of their respective masterpieces- Holderlin's "home" and Tao's "GuiQuLaiXi" reveals many intriguing findings. Although they differ in their cultural backgrounds and cultural contexts, and emotional tones, the longings and yearnings for a "poetic residence" they built up in their works actually reflect a common aesthetic realm of human life. From the aspects of the two poems, this paper discusses the two sets of the cultural and geographic characteristics and genes that shaped the two poets who are of different ages and come from different places as wel as the factors that are responsible for their unique poetic styles.
