赵怀玉对唐顺之接受摭谈

Random Talk about Zhao Huaiyu’s Acceptance of Tang Shunzhi

唐顺之作为一代巨子,文法唐宋,称誉今古;学期致用,垂范后世;著述宏富,名重天下;文武兼擅。荆川先生对后世影响深远,尤其是常州作为其桑梓之地,遗泽所至,后学浸染涵濡,靡然向风,遂使清代常州文化继往开来,臻于鼎盛。后学之中,赵怀玉庶几为典型例证。赵怀玉对唐顺之的接受,主要表现在诗文、事功及书法方面。诗文方面,尤重唐顺之古文创作成就,认为其人对常州古文创作有首发之功;事功方面,固然满含尊崇,不过对唐顺之晚岁之出,也稍有微辞;书法方面,则关涉到唐顺之书法的风格与地位、李邕书法在明代的接受与传承,由此还可对董其昌书法渊源再作思考,对明代书学研究或可有着较为重要的参考价值。总而言之,研究赵怀玉对唐顺之的接受,可以从中细绎常州文化转捩的关键之处,进而蠡测乾嘉常州文坛高峰林立的渊源,可能正在于乾嘉常州文人对待前贤,尊重而不盲目,接受而不步趋,心摹手追,融会贯通,终得自树新帜,蔚为大观。
