在格调与性气之间——明代松江文人莫如忠文学思想述略

Between Pattern and Personality Poetry:A brief Talk of Song Jiang literati Mo Ruzhong’s Literary Theory

明代松江诗人莫如忠出身唐宋派门下,嘉靖中叶与吴维岳等结白云楼诗社。'直写性情'、'清新自然'是这文人群体的共同创作风格。莫如忠反对执迷文学形式而影响性情的抒发,强调作者性格与经历对作品风格的作用,他对吴中诗风加以辩护,指出文学复古与吴中前辈的启示有关,但其评判尺度则接近格调派。复古文人对莫如忠的评价,表现出格调论与唐宋派的根本矛盾并非诗歌风格,而是弃文入道的可能性。莫如忠虽宗尚毗陵,但并未走上性气一路,其文学倾向体现出由性气向格调的回归文学史趋势。

Mo Ruzhong came from the school of Tang Song, in mid-Jiajing era in Ming Dynasty he joined Baiyunlou poetic society with Wu Weiyue etc. The direct describe of personality and nature is the key point of discussion between Baiyunlou poets and Late seven revivalists. Mo objects to over emphasizing literary form which hampers the personality, he regards the poetry as a expression of poet’s own experience; he defended the poetry style of Wuzhong area by pointing out the connection between this style and literary revivalism. Mo was a student of Tang Shunzhi but he never went too far in personality poetry,from which we could observe the fundamental contradiction between the two literary schools.
