陆游与“近幸”姜特立交往中的若干问题

Issues of the Association between Lu You and "Emperor's Favorite Minister" Jiang Teli

姜特立名列《宋史·佞幸传》,与陆游同龄,两人因韩元吉而相识,之后一直保持良好关系。两人交往中留下许多值得思考的问题,如:姜特立以近幸弄权之罪被逐出京城时,陆游作诗相送,并以"君似襄阳孟浩然"许之;在权臣韩侂胄柄国时期,两人分别为其撰写了《南园诗》和《南园记》等。综合起来考察,两人能长期保持良好关系,在于有比较牢固的基础,他们有共同信任与敬重的朋友,在诗歌创作上互相推重,又都有一种使命感;姜特立虽被某些人斥为近幸弄权而被逐,但陆游对当时朝廷斗争的内幕很了解,所以并不影响他们继续交往;为韩侂胄所撰写的《南园诗》和《南园记》,如果单以韩侂胄的功业而言,显然赞誉过当,但是在当时的情况下,国家的命运与韩侂胄已经紧密地捆绑在一起,他们是真心地期望韩侂胄能够匡扶社稷。陆游与姜特立交往也罢、为韩侂胄撰文也罢,正可见出其无所避讳,坦坦荡荡的一面。

Jiang Teli, ranked in 'The History of Song Dynasty·The Biography of Crafty Sycophants', the same age as Lu You, acquainted with Lu You for the sake of Han Yuanji and had maintained good relations since then. Their association left a number of questions worth considering. When Jiang Teli was driven out of the capital on a charge of playing politics, Lu You wrote a poem for him with the words of 'you are like Meng Haoran from Xiangyang'. During the domination period of Han Tuozhou, both of them wrote 'South Garden Poetry' and 'Memorandum of South Garden' respectively for him. It could be seen that the two could maintain a good relationship for such a long time not only because they had common friends with mutual trust and respect, but also they held each other in esteem in poetry writing and they both had a sense of mission. Although Jiang Teli was gradually dismissed because of the accusation of playing politics, it didn’t affect their friendship, for Lu You knew the truth of the court struggle quite well. Their poetries written for Han Tuozhou were obviously excessive praise for Han's exploits, but under the prevailing circumstances, the fate of the country had been closely tied to Han, and they really expected Han to save the country for the people of Song Dynasty. From his association with Jiang Teli and his poetry written for Han Tuozhou, it could be seen that Lu You was very honest and frank, withholding nothing.
