梅尧臣题画诗考论

Research on Mei Yaochen's Poems in Paintings

梅尧臣的题画诗约有45题60首,据其题画诗考察,他参与的大型诗画雅集活动约有8次。这些雅集活动展示了宋初诗歌与绘画之间的互动,即文人以曝书画会、写真会、观画会、游历会等各种集会形式观赏绘画,并以品鉴、题咏、唱和等方式围绕绘画展开写作。这种聚会极大促进了梅尧臣题画诗的创作,也影响了其题画诗的书写方式。他的题画诗具有以"观"为中心展开叙述和"绘形传神"的创作特点;同时以诗论画,参与了宋代绘画史的建构,是探索北宋诗画关系的重要资料。

There are about 60 poems with 45 themes inscribed on paintings by Mei Yaochen. It can be seen from his poems in paintings that Mei attended about eight large poetry and painting garden gatherings. These gatherings showed a new trend in the relationship between poetry and paintings in the early Song Dynasty. The literati appreciated the paintings by way of open book-and-painting displays, portrait painting parties, painting viewing parties, and touring and sightseeing, and created poems centering round the paintings in the form of appraisal, narration and intoning, and responsory. These kinds of gatherings greatly stimulated Mei＇ s creation of poems in paintings and also affected the writing style of his poems in paintings. His poems had two features： the narrative skill of centering round ＂viewing＂ and ＂ extremely vivid and lifelike descriptions ＂. Mei＇s poems closely related to the paintings played a part in the making of the history of paintings in Song Dynasty and supplied important material for the study on the relationship between poetry and paintings in Northern Song Dynasty.
