清宁都曾灿《六松堂诗余》探析

An Analysis of“Liu Song Tang Shi Yu”(Poetic Remnants of the Six Pines Hall)by Zeng Can from Ningdu in the Qing Dynasty

清江西宁都人曾灿所撰《六松堂诗余》,较多闺情相思、交游题赠、羁旅纪行、节令咏物之作。艺术上也有自己的特色,受云间词派影响,曾灿早年作词以小令居多,宗主晚唐北宋,词作多表现儿女之情、离别之思,词风绮丽婉约,未脱“词为艳科”之藩篱。明亡后,由于遗民词人的身份,又出于慷慨激昂的个性,曾灿常用长调抒写故国之思与忧时伤世之感,词旨遥深、风格多样,或绵密醇雅或豪放苍凉,在一定程度上突破了明末浮艳绮靡之词风,对清初词坛词风的革新有重要作用。

“Liu Song Tang Shi Yu”,written by Zeng Can from Ningdu,Jiangxi Province,during the Qing Dynasty,predominantly features themes of boudoir longing,social exchanges,travel records,and seasonal odes.Artistically,Zeng Can s work bears its own distinctiveness,influenced by the Yunjian school of poetry.In his early years,his lyric compositions were mostly short songs,adhering to the styles of the late Tang and Northern Song dynasties.His works,often depicting romantic love and miss during separation,are characterized by their ornate and gentle lyricism,initially conforming to the traditional view of lyric poetry as an art of romantic expression.Following the fall of the Ming Dynasty,as a poet of the remnants,and influenced by his impassioned personality,Zeng Can frequently employed longer tunes to express his nostalgia for the fallen state and his sorrow for the troubled times.His poetic aims and styles varied,ranging from rich and refined to bold and desolate,which,to a certain extent,broke away from the extravagant and decadent lyric style of the late Ming,playing a significant role in the renewal of early Qing lyric poetry.
