中年哀乐,絮语松声——《海日楼家书》与沈曾植的私领域书写

The Emotion of Middle-aged,the Whisper of Literature:Letters of Hai Ri Lou and Shen Zengzhi’s Private Writings

光绪二十四年至二十八年(1898—1902),沈曾植与夫人李逸静频繁通信,留下近八十封寄内函稿,后结集为《海日楼家书》。在此期间,沈曾植经历了前所未有的人生转折,诗学观念也发生了根本性的蜕变。在此背景之下,这批寄内家书也透显出丰厚的意蕴:人到中年的夫妻两人,通过信函谈论生活琐细,字里行间难觅直白的相思情愫,却琐屑而默契,放松而诙谐,以简素之语传达朴厚之情。这些私领域的文字,透显了沈曾植端凝严肃的儒者面目之外所具有的人间情怀。就诗学层面而言,这些绵绵絮语,亦如松涛之声,呈现出低回郁起、广纳众象的美感特质。

From the 24th to the 28th year of Guangxu Emperor(1898-1902),Shen Zengzhi and his wife Li Yijing wrote to each other frequently,left nearly 80 letters,which were collected as Letters of Hai Ri Lou.During this period,Shen Zengzhi experienced an unprecedented turning point in his life,and his poetic concept also underwent a fundamental transformation.In this background,these letters also show rich implications:the middle-aged couple,through the letters to talk about the trivial life,trivial and tacit,relax and humorous,express sincere feelings by simple words.These private remarks,present Shen Zengzhi’s human feelings,beyond his Confucian features.As far as the poetics concept,these continuous whispers like the soughing of the wind in the pines,show the deep and receptive aesthetic characteristics.
