唯情、去情，與世情：由宋奇到宋淇的情感詩學

Emotion, Negation of Emotion, and Reality: On Stephen Soong’s (Song Qi’s) Poetics of Emotion

近年來文學界對宋淇（1919-1996）有所認識，主要因為他和張愛玲（1920-1995）的關聯，是後者最信賴的朋友。然而，從1950年代以降的二、三十年間，宋淇的另一個名字「林以亮」，在香港、臺灣，及大陸以外的華文地區可能更加響亮。這位縱橫於西洋文學研究、《紅樓夢》研究、翻譯研究、文學批評等領域的文化多面手，其前半生故事卻少為人知。本文主要探討未移居香港之前宋淇（當時以宋奇為名，另筆名宋悌芬）的文學思想與創作實踐，以及來到香港之後十年間，他過往的文學記憶如何介入新的文學生活。其間「情感」這個詩學議題最能貫串由宋奇到宋淇的文學論述之變化與其時代意義，值得深入考析。

In recent years, scholarly and literary interest in Stephen Soong (Song Qi宋淇, 1919–1996) has largely stemmed from his close relationship with Eileen Chang (張愛玲, 1920–1995), in whom she placed the utmost trust. However, from the 1950s onward, for two to three decades, Stephen Soong’s alternative pseudonym, Lin Yiliang林以亮, may have resonated more prominently across Chinese-speaking communities outside mainland China. A true polymath in the cultural sphere, Lin Yiliang made significant contributions across diverse fields. As such, he stands as a representative figure among the wave of intellectuals who migrated south to Hong Kong after 1949. Yet the earlier life of this Peking and Shanghai–based cultural figure—previously known as Song Qi宋奇—remains relatively unknown. This article focuses on Stephen Soong’s literary activity prior to his migration to Hong Kong, when he wrote under the name Song Qi宋奇, or Song Tifen宋悌芬, and examines the first decade following his arrival in the British colony. It explores how his prior literary memories and experiences shaped and intervened in his new literary life. Among the many themes that connect the transition from the previous Song Qi宋奇to the latter Song Qi宋淇, the motif of“emotion”emerges as particularly significant. It serves as a continuous thread running through the evolution of his literary discourses and reflects the historical and cultural meanings embedded in his shifting intellectual identity.
