海棠与牡丹:陆游的名花记忆

Crabapple and Peony: LuYou's Reminiscence of Famous Flowers

陆游的咏花之作除了学界最为关注的梅花诗词,海棠和牡丹的吟咏之作也同样值得关注。海棠陪伴和见证了陆游的蜀中生活,更以其张扬气格和遭谗命运而与诗人心神相通。牡丹是北宋承平繁荣的幻影。无论是效仿欧阳修《洛阳牡丹记》作《天彭牡丹谱》,还是多番追忆驿送天彭牡丹的盛事,陆游内心的指向都是收复两京、重振社稷。对这两种名花的深切怀念,不仅彰显着陆游的诗人情致,而且牵动着陆游的家国之志。

Lu You was a lover of flowers, whose collections abounded with poems on flowers. Apart from poetry on plums, works on crabapple and peony attract academic interest. Crabapple accompanied Lu You＇s exciting life in Sichuan, whose wild personality and slandered destiny led to telesthesia with Lu You. Peony indicates Northern Song Dynasty＇s prosperity. Lu You composed The Notes on Luoyang Peony by following Ouyang Xiu＇s The Notes on Tianpeng Peony , and recollected the great event of sending Tianpeng＇s peony on many occasions. In so doing, Lu sought to regain the lost territory and rejuvenate his nation. The reminiscence of the flowers represents Lu You＇s poetic feelings and patriotism.
