屠隆《娑罗馆清言》的多层镜像——兼谈晚明清言小品的另一维度

The Mirror Images in Tu Long’s Sāla House Qing Yan:Also on an Alternative Dimension of Qing-Yan Style Essay in Late Ming Dynasty

屠隆《娑罗馆清言》是晚明清言小品具有代表性的一部。藉由《娑罗馆清言》的映照,可以观察屠隆等一代晚明文人在入世与出世之间的人生选择、关于艺术化与自然化的物质生活的思考,以及受到一批历史或佛学人物影响的精神世界等多层镜像。同时,在文类学概念"小品"包含的诸多文体中,清言是文体边界较为模糊的一种。清言尤其是晚明清言与作者休戚相关的维度常因其显著的说理、劝诫特点而遭到忽视。因而,探寻晚明小品这一维度也是本文写作所涉及的内容。

Tu Long’s Sāla House Qing Yan is a typical Qing-Yan style essay in late Ming Dynasty. From this book,several mirror images of the scholars’ characters in late Ming Dynasty can be observed,such as their choices between being an official and living in seclusion,their reflections about the tendency of material life,and their thoughts influenced by a group of historical or Buddhist figures. Moreover,compared with other literary forms of late-Ming essays,the definition of Qing Yan is relatively vague. Due to the fact that the relationship between Qing Yan and its author is neglected in most cases because of its features of rationality and admonition,the concern on this dimension of Qing Yan will be expressed in the article as well.
