贺遂员外非贺遂涉考

Councillor He Sui is Not He Suishe

王维有两首给贺遂员外和贺氏外甥的诗,分别为《春过贺遂员外药园》及《送贺遂员外外甥》。陈铁民先生将这两首诗的系年系于天宝末年安史之乱前,并认为贺遂员外乃贺遂涉。其系年的依据其实乃承继赵殿成《王右丞集笺注》中对《春过贺遂员外药园》诗的注释。贺遂涉与赵谦光曾是同僚,比王维大50岁左右,如将此诗系于安史之乱前,王维已55岁。但王维诗中的贺遂员外,有可能是《御史台精舍碑题名》“侍御史兼殿中”条记载的那个贺遂回,他擅长当时流行的八分书,在明皇时曾于长安任职,而这个时间段与风雅的大艺术家王维是重合的,二人可能是相识的。王维诗题中的贺遂氏并不是贺遂涉,而应是贺遂回。

Wang Wei has two poems for a councillor(Yuanwai,a title of official)He Sui and his nephew(whose surname is He),respectively,Spring Passing Councillor He Sui’s Medicine Garden and Seeing a Nephew of Councillor He Sui Off.Mr.Chen tiemin dated the two poems before the Anshi Rebellion in the last year of Tianbao,and thought that Councillor He Sui’s full name was He Suishe.In fact,it is based on the annotation of the poem Spring Passing Councillor He Sui’s Medicine Garden"in Zhao Diancheng's notes on Wang Youcheng's Collection of Notes.He Suishe and Zhao Qianguang were once colleagues,about 50 years older than Wang Wei.If this poem were written before the Anshi Rebellion,Wang Wei would be 55 years old.But Councillor He Sui in Wang's poems may be the he Suihui who was recorded in the article"Yu Shi Tai Jing She Bei Ti Ming"and knew well about the popular eight-part book at that time and served in Chang'an in the Ming Dynasty.This period coincided with the elegant artist Wang Wei,and they may have met each other.He Sui in Wang Wei's poems is not he Suishe,but He Suihui.
