杨慎、黄峨夫妻往还之作考论

An Analysis of the Corresponding Works of the Couple Yang Shen and Huang E

晚明清初以前,夫妻间唱和赠答、互诉深情的作品留存很少,杨慎与黄峨夫妇留下的往还互赠之作,多至18篇,是文学史上夫妻间文学交往的典型个案。他们的往还之作,极大地充实了古典文学中夫妻之情这个主题。这些作品,有序地展现了杨慎、黃峨从夫妻情深到感情出现裂痕的全过程,既写出了初期两人之间深挚的情感与深刻的理解,又反映了两人在三十载分居生活中夫妻感情的逐渐变化,揭示了二人在变化中的真实心态,也揭示了二人在对抗现实压力、在生活的自由度、情感的专一度等方面的不对等关系。在杨慎、黃峨之前,还未有夫妻往还之作能如此全方位地表现夫妻情感及其变迁过程,也未有夫妻往还之作表现夫妻之情能达到如此的深度和厚度。同时,夫妻的文学往还是文学交往行为中不可忽视的一类,比一般友朋之间的唱和赠答情感交流更深入、文学互动主动、对彼此的影响也更鲜明。故此,杨慎、黃峨的夫妻往还之作具有极大的文学价值及社会价值。
