“详尽而反复”的生命史——刘大鹏《退想斋日记》所及之生老病死

“Exhaustive and Repetitious Life History”:The Birth,Aging,Ilness and Death in Liu Dapeng's Tuixiangzhai Diary

与衣食住行一样,生老病死亦人之通有,可以归之于具有日常性、反复性特征的“日常生活”一类。在历时半个世纪、多达数百万言的《退想斋日记》中,刘大鹏对其双亲、自身、妻子、子孙、友人等人的生老病死都有“详尽而反复”的记述与表达,值得作为“生命史学”体系的一个范本,进行全面而系统的研究。本文在通读《退想斋日记》稿本缩微胶片和刘氏其它遗著的基础上,对日记所涉相关内容予以勾勒,试图还其原貌,并就相关问题展开讨论。

Like clothing,food,housing,and transportation,birth,aging,ilness and death are also common to humans and can be classified as“daily life”with ordeal and repetitive characteristics.In the half-century and multimillion-word Tuixiangzhai Diary,Liu Dapeng provides exhaustive and repetitious descriptions and expressions of the birth,aging,ilness,and death of himself,his parents,wife,descendants,friends,and others,which is worthy of being used as a model for a comprehensive and systematic study of the“life history”system..Based on reading through the microfilmed manuscript of Tuixiangzhai Diary and other works of Liu Dapeng,this article outlines the relevant content of the diary,attempts to restore its.original appearance,and discusses related issues.
