“中兴”想象:同治金陵雅集活动的现实关切

The Imagination of“Prosperity”:Realistic Concerns of Jinling’s Literary Gatherings during Emperor Tongzhi’s Reign in Qing Dynasty

同治年间,金陵开展了丰富的雅集活动,接续了战前的风雅传统,是重建地方文化和想象“盛世”的重要方式。雅集诗歌除了表现诗酒之乐外,更重要的是还关切现实,想象和期待“中兴”,表达对国家恢复承平盛世的普遍愿望和政治立场。这种思想情感层面的群体认同,对于战后江南地区“务期于正”的恢复有着重要的推动作用。雅集活动以诗酒弦歌彰显升平,抒写“雅颂”之声,涤荡兵戈沴气,推动社会风气趋于雅正祥和。但随着曾国藩逝世,当初雅集的文人星散各地,短暂的“中兴”想象也就宣告终结。

During Emperor Tongzhi’s reign in Qing Dynasty,there were various literary gatherings in Jinling City.They inherited the prewar literary pursuits tradition,which became an important way to restore and rebuild local culture and imagine a prosperous era.In addition to expressing the joy of poetry and wine,the poetry of the literary gatherings was also concerned with reality,imagined and expected“prosperity”to express the general desire and political stance for restoring a peaceful and prosperous era.This ideological and emotional group identity played an important role in promoting the recovery of the postwar Jiangnan region.Through poetry and wine,the literary gatherings expressed the joy of prosperity and reduced the cruelty of war to promote a more harmonious and peaceful social atmoshpere.But with the passing of Zeng Guofan,literati scattered throughout the country and the fleeting imagination of“prosperity”came to an end.
