真情至文 骈体叙事--庾信《思旧铭》的艺术高峰

Lyric Prose and Parallel Narrative:The Artistic Peak of YU Xin s Nostalgia Inscription

庾信《思旧铭》,以“铭”而非“诔”,乃是借铭文永不磨灭的文体意义,以向秀《思旧赋》为精神源头,悼念故人萧永,书写故国历史,微言表达亡国之痛和身世之悲。六朝铭文虽有褒赞警戒、记物写景等多种功能,但往往内容空洞、形式华美。庾信《思旧铭》却能在四六藩篱制约下,书写真情,记录历史巨变,达到了六朝铭文的情感高峰,开拓了骈体铭文叙事的新功能。《思旧铭》的艺术创新有赖于庾信思想自由灵活,有赖于庾信既有前期精湛的艺术准备,又有后期求真的人生境界。庾信顺应历史情境,引领时代思潮,从而使骈体铭文文质彬彬、和谐统一。
