吴昌硕年谱补正——以《香禅日记》为中心

Revisions and Corrections to The Chronology of Wu Changshuo’s Life:Focusing on Xiangchan Diary

晚清苏州文士潘钟瑞的《香禅日记》,有不少与吴昌硕的交往记录。以此日记为基础,通过与其他文献的对比,揭示了《吴昌硕年谱长编》中存在的若干需修正之处。补正内容包括吴昌硕创作《墨梅图》的精确时间、花朝日的传统习俗、郑文焯参与汪氏壶园新居饯春活动的具体日期,以及山塘与留园游览的真实年份等。这些修正不仅有助于更精确地理解吴昌硕的生平与艺术发展,而且为艺术研究领域提供了新的视角。同时,《香禅日记》所记录的苏州下层文士的日常活动细节及其与其他文人文集、日记的相互印证,也凸显了其独特的史学价值。
