“闲情”,就是闲适生活中的情致。所谓“闲适生活”的标准,往往因人、因时、因地而有很大的差异。在今天大多数的中国人看来,衣食无虞而小有积蓄,早晚莳弄些花草,周末逛逛商场,看看电视,就算是“闲情”了;或者对于小知识分子来说,还包括’红袖添香夜读书”的内容;而在三百年前的李渔看来,“闲情”的内涵又自不同,那至少应当包括拥美妾、观歌舞、居园林、见山水等等的节目。这,我们只要看他的《闲情偶记》,就可以明白了。 李渔,字笠翁,浙江兰溪人,明万历三十九年(1611年)出生于江苏如皋,幼时即有才名,以五经受知学台,补博士弟子,少壮擅诗词古文,有才子称。三十岁以前,应过几次乡试,不幸落第,又值丧乱,不免败兴。自此以后,渐走入放浪生活,索性连举业也荒废了。紧接着就是甲申之变,明亡清起,其间他大概也感受些离乱之苦,不久便剃了发,做清朝的顺民了。顺治丁亥,浙事初定,笠翁移家杭州,大概住了有十几年光景。顺治十四五年,又厌倦了,便迁至金陵,一直住了二十年。现在仍常见到的《芥子园画谱》的“芥子园”,就是他在金陵时的别业。 “Leisure,” is the love of leisurely life. The so-called “leisurely life” standard, often due to people, because of time, due to local differences. Most Chinese people today seem to have no worries but little savings. They spend some time sooner or later planting shopping on weekends and watching TV. Even for the young intellectuals, Including the contents of “Reading in the Red Sleeves and the Taste of the Night,” while in the view of Li Yu three hundred years ago, the connotation of “Leisure Feelings” was different from each other. At least, it should include “concubines, viewers and song and dance, gardens and landscapes” This, we can see as long as his “leisurely couple”, you can understand .Li Yu, word Weng Weng, Zhejiang Lanxi, Ming Wanli thirty-nine years (1611) was born in Jiangsu Rugao, when you were young Only by the age of 30, should a few rural examinations, unfortunately, the first, and the value of the funeral, can not help but degeneration. Since then, gradually away Into the wave of life, simply even the industry has also been abandoned .After that, is the change of A, Ming and Qing up, during which he probably feel some of the bitterness of the disorder, soon shaved hair, do the Qing Dynasty Shunmin Shun Shun Ding Hai, In the early days of Zhejiang, Weng Weng moved home in Hangzhou, probably living there for more than a decade.Junior Fourteen-five years, and tired, then Jinling, has lived for twenty years now is still common to the “Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden” and “Mustard Seed Garden”, is he not in the industry at Jinling.
