友情·乡情·雅情:梅尧臣礼物酬答诗的情感析微

Analysis of Emotional Expression in Reciprocating Poetry by Mei Yaochen

北宋时期,文人之间的馈赠活动频繁。作为受赠主体的梅尧臣以诗歌为回礼进行酬答,创作了数量众多的礼物酬答诗,呈现了文人间以物为媒介展开的文学交游。在礼物酬答诗中,梅尧臣融入个人境遇,寄寓了因馈赠而带来的不同类型的情感体验,主要有可慰藉惨淡人生的友情、可熨帖漂泊心灵的乡情和可超越世俗生活的雅情等三种。经由梅尧臣的书写,这类诗歌中的情感由于具有了特定指向而不流于普泛化,因为蕴含了个体真挚感受而不止于应酬性。此类题材诗歌是了解宋代文人交游细节的一个重要窗口,也有助于更为立体地探索梅尧臣丰富的情感世界。

It was frequent for the literati in the Northern Song dynasty to interchange gifts.Mei Yaochen,a founder of Song poetry,rewarded other literati by writing poems so that he created a considerable amount of reciprocating poetry,which showed the literature intercourse between literati via gift media.Mei integrated into his personal circumstances and embodied a variety of emotional experiences brought about by gifts.These experiences fall into three categories:the friendship which can comfort a tough life,the nostalgia which can console a wandering heart and the aesthetics which can transcend a secular life.These poems were originally designated for social intercourse,but Mei made some changes so that the emotion of them became specific and personal,instead of generalization.Therefore,the reciprocating poetry is a significant channel to understand the details of intercourse of literati in the Song dynasty,whereby helping us to explore the plentiful emotional world of Mei in a wider perspective.
