    转古人帖 - 1000年前的金陵与钱塘

    有美堂記

    歐陽修

    from   Tony私選的古文觀止


    嘉祐二年(宋仁宗嘉祐2年,西元1057年),龍圖閣直學士,尚書吏部郎中梅公,出守於。於其行也,天子寵之以詩,於是始作有美之堂。蓋取賜詩之首章而名之,以為人之榮。然公之甚愛斯堂也,雖去而不忘。今年自金陵遣人走京師,命予誌之,其請至六七而不倦。予乃為之言曰:

    夫舉天下之至美與其樂,有不得兼焉者多矣。故窮山水登臨之美者,必之乎寬閒之野、寂寞之鄉,而後得焉。覽人物之盛麗,跨都邑之雄富者,必據乎四達之衝、舟車之會,而後足焉。蓋彼放心於物外,而此娛意於繁華,二者各有適焉。然其為樂,不得而兼也。

    今夫所謂羅浮天臺衡岳洞庭之廣,三峽之險,號為東南奇偉秀絕者,乃皆在乎下州小邑,僻陋之邦。此幽潛之士,窮愁放逐之臣之所樂也。若四方之所聚,百貨之所交,物盛人眾,為一都會,而又能兼有山水之美,以資富貴之娛者,惟金陵錢塘然二邦皆僭竊於亂世,及聖受命,海內為一,金陵以後服見誅。今其江山雖在,而頹垣廢址,荒煙野草,過而覽者,莫不為之躊躇而淒愴。獨錢塘,自五代始時,知尊中國,效臣順;及其亡也,頓首請命,不煩干戈,今其民幸富完安樂。又其俗習工巧,邑屋華麗,蓋十餘萬家。環以湖山,左右映帶,而商海賈,風帆浪舶,出入於江濤浩渺、煙雲杳靄之間,可謂盛矣。而臨是邦者,必皆朝廷公卿大臣。若天子之侍從,四方遊士為之賓客,故喜占形勝,治亭榭,相與極遊覽之娛。然其於所取,有得於此者,必有遺於彼。獨所謂有美堂者,山水登臨之美,人物邑居之繁,一寓目而盡得之。蓋錢塘兼有天下之美,而斯堂者,又盡得錢塘之美焉。宜乎公之甚愛而難忘也。

    梅公,清慎好學君子也,視其所好,可以知其人焉。

    四年八月丁亥,廬陵歐陽修記。

     

    Note by acid:

    金陵,钱塘,都兼有都会之盛与山水之美,命运却是不同,倒也值得回味。

    杭州的得天独厚,有人说是因为“入世与出世在瞬间便得以转换”,我深有同感。谁让这个城市这么小呢。
