我們知道中唐社會上的流動，比起初盛唐顯得更為快速而頻繁。此種現象代表著詩人們有許多機會與崇山峻嶺相遇。山水，更是在詩人的生命里程中，所擁有的回憶片段。山水同時也被「生活」此一不斷進行的事件所含蓋，呼吸之間，詩人如何為「生活」賦予精神價值，以期達到中國傳統中道家所追求的現世自由與安適的心靈層次。在山水此一文類未出現前，「遊覽」與「行旅」二詞，隱然指涉出詩人進入山水空間所代表的不同模式，亦可概括大致詩人們進入山水的情況。透過行旅與遊覽的比較，進而論證身體是詩人在世存有的介質，亦為形構「世界」賦予意義價值的立基點。藉此觀看山水與中唐詩人身體如何相互開放，呈現出雙向辯證之關係。

The aim of this study is to explore how landscapes inspired poets in Tang Dynasty, and how the interaction was shown in a two-way dialectical relationship. In middle period of Tang dynasty, social and cultural mobility was much more frequent than in the prime Tang dynasty. This phenomenon represented that poets had plenty of opportunities to meet with lofty mountains. Poets recalled memories in fragments about landscapes in their lives. Landscape was also connected to the ongoing event - "life". Between thinking and breathing, the way how poets gave the spiritual values to "life" was in the hope for achieving the secular freedom and well-being spiritual level pursued by traditional Chinese Taoists. Before the genre of landscape appeared, "travel" as well as the term "itinerant" implicated the presentation and situation of poets' visits to landscape in different modes. By comparison between "xing lu" and "you lan", the study goes further to expound that "bodies", as a medium, not only offered a foothold to shape the image of "world" but also gave the real value to it.
