论唐顺之《任光禄竹溪记》中的江南文化特质

On the Cultural Characteristics of the South of the Yangtze River in A Note on the Bamboo Garden Zhuxi of Ren Guanglu by Tang Shunzhi

《任光禄竹溪记》是明中期唐宋派领袖唐顺之的古文名篇,以竹喻人,以竹喻志,江南文化特质非常明显。“竹溪”二字,既是园主字号,也是园林名字,同时集中体现了江南水乡的人文风物。唐顺之是在与权臣交恶受到排挤,远离朝廷称病归乡的情况下创作此文的,文中“竹溪主人”任卿的人格精神,正是唐顺之创作心态的体现,清明、平澹、廉贞是江南士子不谐流俗、孤高傲世,追求自得自适的君子人格。

A Note on the bamboo garden Zhuxi of Ren Guanglu is the famous article written by Tang Shunzhi.This article uses bamboo to describe people and aspirations,and the cultural characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River are very obvious.“Zhuxi”is not only the name of the owner of the garden,but also the name of the garden itself.“Zhuxi”represents the characteristics of water town in the south of the Yangtze River.Tang Shunzhi was ruled out for his bad relations with powerful officials,and he returned to his hometown to write the essay when he was sick.The character and spirit of Ren in the essay is the manifestation of Tang Shunzhi’s creative mindset,which is clear,peaceful and honest.All of the mindset equals the unconventional,arrogant,and self-sufficient characters of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.
