论贺裳的《载酒园诗话》

Reading Notes on He Shang's Poetry Talks in Zai Jiu Yuan

《载酒园诗话》是一部从内容到形式都很独特的诗话,表面上看它沿袭了明代诗话贪多求全、包揽古今的特征,但却不像明人诗话那样空疏而好作大言,而是在对古今诗学确具真知灼见的基础上下断的;尤为难能可贵的是,贺裳的这些批评大都建立在对具体作品的分析之上,放眼明代以来的唐诗批评,如此细致而有规模的研究殊无先例,仅此也可见贺裳诗话在批评史上非同寻常的意义。总之,《载酒园诗话》充分体现出清初江南诗学崇尚中晚唐诗的倾向,其中对传统诗学命题的阐释具有总结前人遗产的意义,而诗人和诗歌艺术批评又引领了清代唐诗学的学术风气,体现了清代诗学在作家批评方面日趋专门化、细致化的特征;当然,如果深入探究,《载酒园诗话》确实也暴露出作者好学而乏深思、理论概括力不足的弱点。
