杜甫与严武关系考辨

A textual research and discrimination of the relation between Du Fu and Yan Wu

杜甫与严武的关系自唐以来有两说,一为情谊深厚,一为杜甫酒后失言,严武耿耿于怀,杜甫几乎招致杀身之祸。有的论者对杜甫的诗作曲意附会,以坐实杜、严二人有"睚眦"之事;有的论者不从杜、严的上下级关系出发理解二人的礼数问题,竟以此为二人"睚眦"的佐证;有的论者不从杜甫的思想状况出发理解他辞幕的原因,而是不合情理地将它与二人的"睚眦"之事联系起来;有的论者指出杜甫悼严武诗感情不深挚,推测二人不睦,这也是深文周纳。

The relation between Du Fu and Yan Wu can find two statements, which are poles apart. One is the two of them cherish brotherly affection for each other; and another is that Du Fu's indiscreet remarks at Yan Wu under the influence of alcohol, over which Yan Fu nursed a grudge, courted his own destruction. Some arguers distort the original meaning of Du Fu's poems and draw a forced analogy in confirmation of their enmity arising from tiny grievance. Some regard something wrong with their rank in such hierarchy as the evidence of their petty grievance without the consideration that Du Fu worked under Yan Wu. Others attribute unreasonably Du Fu's resignation to that there are conflict between them, rather than his thought at that time. Still others infer they are at odds for each other according as the feeling in Du Fu's poem written in commemoration of Yan Wu is not sincere and earnest. This is also a case of frame-up.
