从《经正课艺》看楚雄儒生李楷材的国学指趣(下)
|
摘要
楚雄府在咸同兵变以后,很快便恢复了雁峰书院(旋改建龙泉书院)以期重整科举颓势,惟省城昆明新建的最高学府经正书院仍是该郡"七属三井"诸生们最理想的捷径。除姚州甘德光(甘孟贤次子)外,另一位幸运儿就是李楷材。在短短的十馀年间,李楷材能与袁嘉穀、秦光玉、李坤等住院高材生同师竞技,留下了一批很宝贵的经史辞章,时人皆谓其文"仿六朝八家",而其诗"沉郁绵丽,出入温、李、钱、刘间,可谓文字之良友"。遗憾的是李楷材未竟其学,但有部分作品因师友的呵护而得以传世。
Shortly after the Xiantong Revolt( 1855 ― 1873),Yanfeng Academy( to be renamed Longquan Academy before long) was reopened in Chuxiong Prefecture to prepare local students for the imperial examinations. Except for the newly established Zhengjing Academy in Kunming – the provincial capital,it was the most ideal place to pursue classical studies for scholars of the nearby counties. Besides Gan Deguang( son to Gan Mengxian),another fellow admitted was Li Kaicai who,in the following dozen years,wrote a number of valuable articles as a result of constant discussion with the teachers and other scholars staying in the academy,including Yuan Jiagu,Qin Guangyu and Li Kun. The contemporary critics greatly praised his works,comparing him to some famous ancient classical essayists. Unfortunately,Li Kaicai did not finished his study but,fortunately,his works were preserved by his teachers and fellow students.

引文
(1)此处所谓的“时事”,即清光绪二十六年(1900)夏历七月二十一日凌晨,因八国联军开始攻打北京城,慈禧太后带着光绪皇帝及大阿哥溥俊等出顺贞门仓皇“西逃”,至九月初四日抵达西安。第二年(1901)夏历八月二十四日,在西安待了近一年的慈禧和光绪皇帝才起驾回京。此时,李楷材撰《仿李太白〈上皇西巡南京歌十首〉》,敢于“正言无隐”,针砭时弊,深得师友们的称赞。按:秦光玉撰《仿李太白〈上皇西巡南京歌十首〉(作四首)》(收入《经正课艺四集》卷五《诗古近体》)有《序》说:“太白诗为明皇幸蜀而作,今外夷犯顺,圣驾西幸关中,爰仿厥体,籍抒下怀。”相比较而言,秦光玉的诗句要隐晦一些。
(2)据《经正课艺二集》目录,得知李楷材当时还撰写了一篇《杨升庵高峣别墅赋(以“云间海树入冥濛”为韵)》(普盐宪课,李堃取一名,李楷材取七名,崔淮取十三名),惟云南省图书馆藏《经正课艺二集》卷四《赋》已残,仅有李堃、崔淮两人的《赋》,而李楷材的《赋》已无法获读,亟待有识者补证。
