唐朝刘禹锡的《陋室铭》,台湾当代作家李乐薇的《我的空中楼阁》,以及李佩芝同志的《小屋》,都是以自己的简陋居室为题材的散文。前一篇固然是千百年来脍炙人口的名篇,后两篇亦堪称佳作。借陋室以抒情言志,这类文章,从孔子的“君子居之,何陋之有”开始,有多少人写过了,不得而知。但到刘禹锡,无疑已是一个高峰,为什么后来者并不视之为畏途,还一而再、再而三地写下去?为什么某些后起的作品还能陆续加入优秀之作的行列?把这三篇散文放在一起,比较着读一读,也许会悟出一点写作的门道来。 刘禹锡是中唐时代著名的诗人、哲学家和政治革新家,几遭打击、贬谪而矢志不移。他写陋室,是要以“惟吾德馨”向世俗 In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi’s “Inscription of the Chamber”, “My Castle in the Air” by Taiwan’s contemporary writer Li Lewei, and Comrade Li Peizhi’s “Cabin” are prose essays based on their own simple homes. The previous article is a famous piece that has been popular for thousands of years. The last two articles are also excellent works. From the bedroom to lyrical expressions, these kinds of articles began with Confucius’s “Men’s Home, What’s There,” and how many people have written about it. However, to Liu Yuxi, there is no doubt that it is a peak. Why do latecomers do not regard it as a daunting route, but write it down again and again? Why do some of the later works continue to join the ranks of outstanding ones? These three prose together put together, read more and read, may realize a bit of writing the doorway. Liu Yuxi was a famous poet, philosopher, and political innovator in the Mid-Tang era. He was repeatedly attacked, relegated, and determined. When he wrote his bedroom, he wanted to use the word “Weiwu Dexin” to the world.
