严嵩《陈节推久在南昌寄赠》笺证

The Annotation to Yan Song's poem To Metropolitan Judge Chen Who Stayed in Nanchang For a Long Time

被杨慎称为“真唐绝”的《陈节推久在南昌寄赠》一诗,是明代内阁首辅严嵩的重要诗作。陈节推是指严嵩好友陈辂,广东高要县人,正德十二年至嘉靖四年间任袁州府推官。该诗背景是发生于正德十四年秋的“宁王叛乱”,应南赣巡抚王守仁之招,陈辂和在家养病的严嵩分别前往临江府樟树镇,参加王守仁为平定叛乱而主持的会兵定策。之后,陈辂随军攻克宁王老巢南昌,不久宁王被擒而乱平;严嵩仍留樟树养病,乱平后方回老家。是年冬,严嵩至袁州府衙不见陈辂,意彼仍在南昌,遂赋诗寄赠以表思念。该诗借景抒怀,冲淡沉婉,不愧为“真唐绝”,是严嵩的代表诗作之一。

The poem To Metropolitan Judge Chen Who Stayed in Nanchang For a Long Time,which was called by Yang Shen a"true rhyme quatrain of Tang Dynasty",was an important poem written by Yan Song,the first Grand Secretary in Ming Dynasty.The Metropolitan Judge Chen refers to Yan Song's good friend Chen Lu,who was born in Gaoyao County,Guangdong Province,and served as the Metropolitan Judge of Yuanzhou Prefecture from 1517 to 1525.The poem was written probably in the winter of 1519 with the background of the"rebellion of King Ning"which took place in the autumn of the same year.At the invitation of Wang Shouren,the Grand Coordinator of Nan’gan,Chen Lu and Yan Song went to Zhangshu town of Linjiang Prefecture to attend the meeting of military forces and having some strategies presided over by Wang Shouren to put down the rebellion.After that,Chen Lu with the army conquered Nanchang,the base of King Ning,and soon the King Ning was captured and the armed rebellion was suppressed.At the same time,Yan Song stayed at Zhangshu town to recuperate until the rebellion was put down and then returned to his hometown.In the winter,Yan Song came to Chen Lu's office in Yuanzhou Prefecture,but did not see him.Thinking that Chen Lu might still be in Nanchang,Yan Song wrote a poem to express his missing.This poem was worthy of the true rhyme quatrain of Tang Dynasty and became one of Yan Song's representative poems.
