《枯树赋》刻帖及相关问题考

Research of the Printed Calligraphy Work Ode on Withered Trees and Related Issues

由于《枯树赋》《唐文皇哀册》被后世奉为褚遂良书法的经典之作,宋代以来关于其书迹的真伪之争也持续不断。从北宋苏颂的记载来看,北宋所传《枯树赋》已为唐人双钩填墨的摹本了,即便米芾见到的《枯树赋》亦为唐人的双钩墨迹本。至明代,此二帖曾为王世贞购藏,综合其对于二帖的记载来看,多有混淆之处,王视《唐文皇哀册》为神物,然詹景凤所论与此相反。王曾将二帖刻石置于弇山园内,到了清代,二帖后由太仓吴氏后人吴大铨购去,复置于吴氏宗祠内。王世贞生前摹刻了大量的名家刻帖,随着时代变迁,大多刻帖已散失殆尽,至今太仓弇山园内仍遗留《枯树赋》刻帖一套,然此帖不为今人所知,此刻帖又见载于王世贞的《弇州山人题跋》,然书中所记亦有未详尽之处。关于《枯树赋》刻帖的底本,王并未言明,而历史上关于《枯树赋》是否为真迹说也一直争论不止。
