梅花吐蕊綻幽香──南宋詩人方岳詠梅詩之探析

Dark Fragrance Spreads While Plum Tree Blossoming： A Study of Fang Yue’s Poemson Plum Blossom

方岳是南宋後期江湖詩派的重要人物。陳起蒐刊江湖文人的作品包括《江湖詩集》、《續集》、《後集》等諸集並未將方岳的作品收入，但方岳《秋崖集》仍潮流天下。近年學者經過研究，依據活動時間、生活背景、傳統看法、收錄狀況、唱酬往來等嚴格標準來鑑定江湖派詩人，咸疑方岳屬於江湖派詩人，但方岳的人品與詩格都迥異於一般的江湖派詩人，他的作品數量、氣度或藝術成就確高於汲汲干祿於江湖的同時期詩人。晚宋江湖小集轉變宋詩走向迫苦哀音，能脫穎而出者極寡，方岳不但突圍籠罩而詩名盛大，錢鍾書就認為方岳是江湖詩派中的重量級人物，其代表性不亞於劉克莊、戴復古。現存方岳的詩共有一千三百多首，其中明白標題詠梅之作就有七十多首，未以梅花為題而只在詩中提及梅花的更是不可勝數，足見方岳個人樂梅、賞梅、爍梅的情有獨鍾。本文就方岳的詠梅詩為研究對象，探析詠梅作品中的藝術表現及詩人內在精神，此乃其藉詠梅意象而形諸在外的深層意蘊。
