從碧亭到藥樓──談張夢機詩的由虛入實之境

From Bi Ting (Green Pavilion) to Yao Lou (Medicine Building) - A Discussion on Zhang Meng-Chi's Poetic Realm from Xu (Ideological) to Shi (Practical)

碧亭是碧潭的名跡，張夢機早年流連之地；藥廬則是他病後長居之所。張夢機三十前後已享盛名，有一天他告訴我，張維翰主持的「中華詩學研究所」邀請他入會，是唯一最年輕的委員。我熟知當年中華詩學研究所的狀況，張夢機這樣喜悅是有道理的。可是，他前期的詩流連在華藻和鍛鍊之中，詩境往往虛構。及至中風以後，移居新店安坑玫瑰花園城，藥樓養疴的歲月雖然寂寞，卻也使他的詩大大不同，詩境進入真實，感人至深。本文將以實例來解說他的前後變化。

Bi Ting (Green Pavilion) is a famous historic site frequently visited by Zhang Meng-Chi in the early days of his life, while Yao Lou (Medicine Building) was where Zhang resided ever since he fell ill. He became famous in his thirties. He was once invited by Zhang Wei-Han to join Zhong Hua Poetics Research Center and became the youngest member in the center. His joy about this was understandable. The poems he wrote in the beginning of his career were more fictional or more towards practices. After he developed stroke and moved to Hsin Tien Rose City for rehabilitation, his poetic style transformed to be more realistic and touching. This article uses examples to demonstrate his changes.
