与古为新:于坚与中国古典诗歌传统

Inheriting Tradition and Innovating Actively:Yu Jian and the Tradition of Chinese Classical Poetry

迄今为止,学界鲜有研究者提及于坚旧体诗写作背景,实际上20世纪70年代初他曾以《野草集》这部旧体诗习作开启了缪斯之门,汲取古典诗歌资源的尝试虽一度终止,然而新世纪二十年来他已经初步完成了先锋到传统的艰难蜕变。具体表现为:一、将中国传统诗词典故和古代诗人形象大范围移入诗中;二、自觉赓续儒家“为天地立心”的文人风骨,结合现代精神提出并实践“文人写作”的概念。于坚哀痛于“乡土文化”的凋敝和解体,希冀借助传统文化集体无意识的沉淀,用诗歌召唤故乡的亡灵,以期唤起人们对乡土中国的记忆和对自然生态的重视。于坚的转场与蜕变,流露意味深长的还乡情结和古典情怀。

So far,few scholars have mentioned the background of Yu Jian's classical poetry writing.In fact,in the early 1970s,he opened the door of muse with the old style poem Anthology Of Weeds.Although his attempt to absorb the resources of classical poetry was once terminated,he has initially completed the difficult transformation from pioneer to tradition in the new century.The concrete performance is as follows:first,the Chinese traditional poetry allusions and the image of ancient poets are moved into the poems in a large range;second,consciously continue the Confucian literati's character of"setting heart for heaven and earth",and put forward and practice the concept of"literati writing"combined with modern spirit.Yu Jian laments the decline and disintegration of"local culture".He hopes that with the help of collective unconscious precipitation of traditional culture,he can call"the soul of hometown"with poetry,and arouse people's memory of native China and the importance of natural ecology.Yu Jian's transition and transformation reveal his profound homesickness and classical feelings.
