谈邵洵美的诗

On Shao Xunmei’s Poems

在中国新诗史上,邵洵美是一位独具特色,但又饱受争议的诗人。邵洵美的诗歌属于特定时代、特定阶层的文人写作,青春期的躁动,再加上浓厚的唯美主义色彩,在20世纪20年代后期的诗坛上一出现,立即引起了褒贬不同的反响。1949年以后,邵洵美的名字在诗坛消失了。20世纪80年代以后,随着改革开放的春风,一批被埋没的作家重新被发掘出来,邵洵美也在其中。邵洵美是有诗的才华的,尽管由于时代、环境与个人经历的局限,他的诗作在哲理的深度与对人性的深层体认上尚有欠缺,他的爱情诗还未能展示出灵与肉、情与欲的复杂纠缠,某些“颓加荡”风格的作品,更是损伤了他在部分读者中的印象,但这并不影响在中国新诗史中给他一个恰当的位置,并作出实事求是的评价。

In the history of the Modern Chinese Poetry,Shao Xunmei is a distinctive but controversial poet.His poetry,which is a literatus-style writing for a specific era and specific class.The reflects the restlessness of adolescence with a strong color of aestheticism,immediately aroused a variety of responses when it first appeared in the poetic circle in the late 1920s.After 1949,his name vanished from the poetic circle,but in the 1980s,with the favorable conditions of reform and opening-up,some underappreciated writers—including Shao Xunmei—were re-examined.His poems are brilliant,but limited by time,environment and personal experiences,they lack philosophical depth and profound understanding of human nature;his love poems fail to show the intricate relationships between spirit and flesh,love and desire;particularly,some of his“decadent”poems even damaged readers’perceptions of him.Nevertheless,all these flaws do not affect a fair assessment of him,and he still occupies an important place in the history of the Modern Chinese Poetry.
