吴昌硕精神世界解读--笺释吴昌硕旧诗九首

Interpretation of WU Changshuo's Spiritual World:An Interpretations of WU Changshuo's Nine Poems

吴昌硕是晚清到民国的跨世纪人物。其一生从平民到艺术大师,颇具传奇色彩。其艺术成就当植根于独特的人生经历。人生磨难锤炼了他的坚韧心志和刚强人格,使他通达了人情世故,也使他在逆境里能始终保有一份豁达的心境,逐渐对超越现实苦难、追求理想境界有更深的觉解。究其精神来源,陶渊明是第一位可采信的历史文化存在。从民国到共和国的百余年来,吴昌硕、陈寅恪们均认陶渊明为中国自由观念的思想元祖。本文认为真正在二十世纪激励了中国知识者独立人格的价值元素,并不千篇一律地源自于西方自由主义,也源于陶渊明式的自由观念,对中国知识阶层有着更久远、更深挚的影响。

WU Changshuo was a cross-century figure from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.His life has been legendary from an obscure grassroot man to a pre-emine nt master of art.His artistic achievements are mainly originated from his unique life experiences.The hardships of life fostered his spirit of perseveranee and developed his strong personality,furnished him with sufficient knowledge about the world,and also en-abled him to maintain an open-minded state of mind and cherish a Ionging for a better life in long time's adversity.He gradually deepened his understanding as to the issue of how to transcend sufferings in the physical world and pursue ideals in his metaphysical sphere.TAO Yuanming is the first approachable figure in terms of historical mnd cultural existence.In more than one hundred years from the Republic of China to the People's Republic of China,both WU Changshuo and CHEN Yinke and other celebrities regarded TAO Yuanming as the ideological ancestor of embodying the Chinese concept of freedom.It can be seen that the value elements that really in spired Chinese in tellectuals to foster their independent personality in the twentieth century did not all originate from Western liberalism,but also from TAO Yuanming's concept of freedom,which has in reality exerted a more profound and substarv tial impact upon Chinese intellectuals.
