明代徽州文人叶权的写松奇文

A Wonderful Prose about Pine Trees Written by Ye Quan,a Writer of Huizhou in the Ming Dynasty

叶权祖籍徽州,寄籍杭州,是明代嘉靖、万历年间的文人,今存有《贤博编》以及附于其后的《游岭南记》。《游岭南记》的首篇《梅岭松记》专记广东梅岭(大庾岭)之松,具有相当高的文学价值。文章谋篇布局颇具匠心,疏密虚实安排得当;连用27个"有……者"句,描摹状物极尽其致;体现了"非实见真闻,不为古今增妄"的求实精神。该文堪称古代写松奇文。

Ye Quan was a literati during the reign of Jiajing and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. He was originally from Huizhou, Anhui Province, but he resided in Hangzhou. Xian Bo Bian and its appendix, You Lingnan Ji, are his works handed down until now. The first chapter of You Lingnan Ji, Meiling Song Ji,which mainly describes the pine trees in Meiling（Dayu Ling）, Guangdong Province, has a high literary value as it is well-structured. In this article, the writer ingeniously used 27 paralleled sentences in succession to give a full description of the pines, which has reflected his realistic spirit. In short, Meiling Song Ji is a remarkable piece of writing.
