妻梅子鹤得传人——六论林逋与梅花

Having no Wife and Son but Having Descendant——the Sixth Discourse upon Lin Bu and Mei Flower

史载林逋不娶无子,但古今中外都有人自称是林逋的后人,历史上,从宋朝开始就有人自称是林逋子孙,在当代,浙江奉化市黄贤村与宁海县加爵科村的林姓人都自认是林逋的后人,在国外,有日本馒头祖师林净因的后代回来寻根祭拜林逋。梅妻鹤子的林逋却在海内外有传人,充分体现出林逋高风亮节的深远影响与人格魅力的灿烂光辉,也充分体现出林姓人尊祖敬贤的良好家风与择善而从的精神追求。林逋还被神化为"林祖先师"得到信徒的礼拜,其传人已不仅仅是林姓人,而是把林逋奉若神明的百姓了。

Lin Bu had no wife and son, but there some domestic and foreign descendants. The emergence of these descendants show clearly that Lin Bu's exemplary conduct and nobility of character has far-reaching influence, and that these descendants respect ancestor and follow after virtuous and talented person.
