這裡所謂的“花”,還有“香”、“茶”、“瓷器”,當然都不是宋人的創造,但它卻是由宋人賦予了雅的品質,換句話説,是宋人從這些本來屬於日常生活的細節中提煉出高雅的情趣,並且因此為後世奠定了風雅的基調。為什麼宋人會有、或者説能有這樣的作為呢?原因可以有很多,單從歷史背景來説,便有政治的,經濟的,社會的。比如城坊制的解體,都市生活的發達,還有科舉制的完全成熟,等等,而這些又互為因果,成為一種推動社會變化的合力。
題目叫作“宋人與花與香與瓷器”,已經顯得很囉嗦,其實這還是省略了的,説得齊全,該是“宋人與花與香與茶與瓷器”。不妨先把南宋詩人葛紹體的幾首詩引在這裡:
《韓氏與閒即事》:堂深暑不到,閒意一爐香。棋鬥過河急,琴彈流水長。古瓶下,怪石小池旁。忠獻畫圖在,英聲不可忘。
又《秋堂東軒》:新糊窗紙舊胡床,銅鴨煙昏硯墨香。淡翠屏風小瓶亞,芙蓉紅菊花黃。
又《洵人上房》:自佔一窗明,小爐春意生。茶分香味薄,梅插小枝橫。有意探禪學,無心了世情。不知清夜坐,知得若為情。
葛紹體並不是著名的詩人,也可以説是很沒有名氣的,他的作品,一般的宋詩選本都不會選。但這幾首詩卻很有代表性,兩宋士人的日常生活中幾件互有關聯、並且又都與瓷器相關的雅事,差不多都寫在這裡了,也正應了今天的題目,即宋人與花與香與茶與瓷器,不過因為時間有限,不僅茶事省略掉,香事恐怕也來不及細説了。

Kids Kingdom:Film Showing and Discussion with Director Zhang Tongdao
Thursday, June 06, 2013 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM Young Research Library Presentation Room 11348
Film Showing and Q&A Discussion with Director Zhang Tongdao
Kids Kingdom 82 min, 2009, China
This is a documentary film about a group of Chinese children who spend most of their time in the Ba Kindergarten, a preschool in Beijing. In this magical kingdom of children, a series of stories unfold. Sweet love sparkles between a four-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy; an aggressive boy, though tall, handsome, and charismatic, is a troublemaker and has to learn how to make friends with other children; a two-year-old boy is found out to be the mysterious “thief” whose strong curiosity has driven him to secretly steal playthings. Underneath these cute, innocent stories is a rare glance into China’s preschool education.
