欧公居滁无乐考——《丰乐亭记》、《醉翁亭记》别解

Ouyang Xiu in Chuzhou: No Enjoyment——An alternative interpretation of Fengletingji and Zuiwengtingji

庆历六年,欧阳修在滁州创作的《丰乐亭记》和《醉翁亭记》,极力铺陈渲染山水之乐、宴宾之乐、丰收之乐、民俗之乐等各种乐事,给人留下深刻印象。但在他同时期的诗中,多写其遭贬后的苦闷与烦恼,而讳言其"乐"。事实上,欧阳修贬谪滁州,背负着"朋党"与"德薄"的双重恶名,隐藏着巨大的精神压力与心灵创伤。这两篇宣扬"与民同乐"的游记,既表达他醉酒后的狂放与洒脱,更反映其强自振作、强颜欢笑的贬谪心态,堪称"太守之文"的典范。

Fengletingji In the 6th year of Qingli Reign, Ouyang Xiu in Chuzhou wrote his famous essays i （Essay in Fengli Pavilion） and Zuiwengtingji （Essay in the Ebriety Sire＇s Pavilion） , in which he depicts impressively the enjoyments in scenery, banquet, harvest and folk celebrations. However, in his poems written in the same period there are many expressions of his gloominess and vexation resulted from the demotion. In fact, during his stay in Chuzhou, Ouyang Xiu was under great spiritual pressures due to the conviction of his ＂illegal organization＂ and ＂immorality＂ The two above essays express indeed his drunken carnivalism and broadmindedness, and his strive for ambitions and suppression of melancholy. The essays are models of ＂prefecture chief＇s essays＂
