翁方纲追和次韵虞集的诗学史意义

The Poetic Significance of Weng Fanggang’s Rhymed Reply to Yu Ji

翁方纲受王士禛《古诗选》的影响,重视虞集七言古诗和题画诗,推崇《题柯敬仲画》“句句是三昧”。在乾隆二十九年至嘉庆十年的四十余年中,翁方纲追和次韵虞集《题柯敬仲画》诗多达七次,称得上是虞集的异代知己。翁方纲为虞集整理诗集、编撰年谱,并在《石洲诗话》和《四库提要分纂稿》中,分别站在个人与官方的立场评论虞集,推尊虞集为诗史上可与陆游、元好问比肩的经典作家。翁方纲还大量化用虞集诗句以及其他元诗典故,说明元诗也可以与唐宋诗一样,成为后人师法的典范,为元诗的经典化进程作了有益的探索,具有重大的诗学史意义。

Weng Fanggang was influenced by Wang Shizhen's Qiyan Gushi Xuan(七言古诗选).He appreciated Yu Ji's seven-character ancient poems and poems inscribed on paintings,and even highly praised Yu Ji's“Poem Inscribed on Ke Jingzhong's Painting”(题柯敬仲画).Weng,who can be called Yu Ji's confidant in different generations,used the rhyme sequence of“Poem Inscribed on Ke Jingzhong's Painting”(题柯敬仲画)and responded to it seven times in over forty years from 1764 to 1805.Weng also compiled Yu Ji's poetry anthologies and chronicle.From the standpoint of personal and official comments,Weng respected Yu Ji and held him as equal to Lu You and Yuan Haowen.Weng frequently alluded to Yu Ji's poems and other Yuan Dynasty poems and classics,indicating that Yuan Dynasty poetry,like Tang poetry and Song Poetry,can also be a model for poets of later generations.His useful exploration for the canonization of Yuan Dynasty poetry was of great significance to poetic history.
