书如其人刚健清——由王懿荣所书一幅扇面谈起

Like Author,Like Book,Upright,Tough and Clear:From a Section Written by Wang Yirong

王懿荣是“甲骨文发现第一人”,“甲骨文之父”。王懿荣不仅发现了甲骨文,对古代文字、书籍、字画均有丰富的收藏和研究,至于书法,更是亲体力行,可称一造诣颇深的书法家。王懿荣书有一扇面,为录刘长卿《江州重别薛六柳八二员外》诗,而长卿的经历十分坎坷,先是屡试不第,又两遭贬谪,再晚岁失州。再看王懿荣,其仕途跋涉之路亦多艰辛,三十载苦读,才算有了回报。王刘一样,对自身坎坷的求仕之路及尔虞我诈的官场生活怀有难以言表的复杂心情,这使其心身俱疲,多首诗作中道出厌倦惆怅与愤懑情绪。
