浮生若夢，為歡幾何？一本清朝普通文人沈復的自傳體式散文，卻在百餘年後觸發無數情感共鳴，欽慕沈復與其妻芸娘之間文雅風趣、堅貞不渝，卻又備極坎坷的愛情，清朝思想家王韜讀後說：「筆墨間纏綿哀感，一往情深。」林語堂歎道：「芸，我想，是中國文學上一個最可愛的女人。」沈復出生於富裕世家，與友人相處的暢快情景，「遊人見之，莫不羨為奇想。杯盤狼藉，各已陶然，或坐或臥，或歌或嘯」。後遭逢家道中落，最後流離於世間。儘管身處困境，仍不忘苦中作樂。沈復與芸青梅竹馬，然婚後公婆不喜芸娘，沈復堅決不肯離棄，兩人乃四處流離。其後，更貧病交迫，與兒女訣別。愛情的最後，他沉痛呼籲：「奉勸世間夫婦，固不可彼此相仇，亦不可過於情篤。語云『恩愛夫妻不到頭』，如余者……」「一日，見二蟲鬥草間，觀之正濃，忽有龐然大物拔山倒樹而來，蓋一癩蝦蟆也！」全書應有六記，但完稿百餘年後初次刊行時，已僅存〈閨房記樂〉、〈閒情記趣〉〈坎坷記愁〉、〈浪遊記快〉，不僅記錄個人的哀樂，也是一個歷史時代的情感悲歌。林語堂乃說本書是「代表中國生活藝術及文化精神的專著」。沈復以一人的親身經歷，見證了古代最後一個盛世「乾隆盛世」，重現普通人的現實生活，觸及人生在世的命運和困境。不僅記錄個人的哀樂，也是一個歷史時代的情感悲歌。《浮生六記》不僅是浮世生活的詩意寫照，亦為清代傳記散文中的感人作品。◎本書特色★註解力求詳盡、準確，為目前市面上最完整的版本。★直譯譯文遵循原文語言特色，簡潔典雅，原汁原味。★新增分節標題，完整反映人物經歷脈絡，構成一部「生活的藝術」。【閨房記樂】記與其妻陳芸的愛情故事。兩人為表姊弟關係，兩小無猜，自少年起就戀戀不捨，遂得以訂婚。夫妻倆耳鬢廝磨，如影隨形，愛戀之情，難以用言語形容。這種一往情深，是沈復婚姻的開始，也是其人生悲喜的主因。【閒情記趣】記生活趣事，名篇「余憶童稚時，……」出於此卷（〈童趣〉）。也記夫妻兩人的生活點滴，陳氏雖未讀書，然才情俱佳，對詩文自有其理解，夫唱婦隨，夫妻倆之生活情趣由此可窺。【坎坷記愁】記家庭變故、顛沛流離的生活。陳芸心腸善良，卻被利用而遭誤會，又因母親病逝、弟弟出走，身體每況愈下，最後鬱鬱而終。後沈復又遇父親病死、喪子不曾見，其哀痛又怎麼言說？【浪遊記快】記其「拋書浪遊」、學作幕僚時曾遊歷的山河美景。詞藻優美，畫面感極強，讀時彷若身歷其境。「返至來鶴，買舟而歸。余繪《無隱圖》一幅，以贈竹

大家看看，這些人有病！東床袒腹、咄咄怪事、雪夜見戴、管寧割席、新亭對泣、看殺衛玠、望梅止渴、韓壽偷香……百餘則出自《世說新語》的短篇故事，帶你領略魏晉的文采風流，感受名士的高雅飄逸，品味語言的機智雋永，一窺六朝人物的放誕與深情。［初版書名：慢讀．世說新語最風流］★關於《世說新語》──陳寅恪：「一部清談之全集。」魯迅：「一部名士底教科書。」《世說新語》由南朝宋劉義慶所撰，是一部記錄魏晉名士言行風貌的志人小說，完整呈現魏晉風流人物，千餘年來，讓讀者見識那些超然脫俗、高潔優雅、瀟灑飄逸的名士風範。但其文辭簡略，如果不知相關背景，則十分難解。本書作者戴建業，研究《世說新語》三十年，濃縮原書精華時，不僅能結合歷史背景，完整還原書中的軼聞趣事，排除閱讀障礙。平易近人的口吻，更易於現代讀者閱讀。著名魏晉名士、趣事、清談都在這裡，例如──◎率真： 郗太傅派人去王丞相家選女婿，當王家兄弟精心打扮的時候，某人竟然袒露著肚子仰臥東床。想不到郗公聽說後高興地拍手說：「正此好！」這個東床袒腹者，即後來冠絕古今的書聖王羲之。◎雅量：謝安與人下圍棋，突然收到正與符堅在淝水大戰的謝玄派人送來的信，他讀完信後繼續下棋，最後客人忍不住發問，他才說沒事沒事，不過是「小兒輩大破賊。」◎風姿：魏晉多美男傳奇，如衛玠到一個新城市，粉絲眾多，圍觀者如牆，讓他寸步難行。他身體本來就不好，因此回家大病，竟然就死了。時人謂「看殺衛玠」。◎幽默：七月七日家家曬衣服和書籍，郝隆則在太陽下仰臥。人問其故，答曰：「我曬書。」這是自嘲也是自負──自嘲是說自己家貧無藏書，自負是說自己腹藏萬卷。◎曠達： 張季鷹在外地當官時，一陣秋風起，突然思念家鄉的菰菜羹、鱸魚膾，他說：「人生貴得適意」，不想再求名位，就搭上馬車回家了。◎機智：孔融十歲就被視為神童，太中大夫陳韙不以為然：「小時了了，大未必佳。」孔融秒答：「想君小時，必當了了。」果然是神童無誤。◎深情：桓溫每次聽到清亮美妙的歌曲，便忍不住呼喊：「奈何！」就是「這該怎麼辦啊！」謝安評價說：「桓溫可謂一往情深。」◎放誕：劉伶愛飲酒，妻子很生氣，他說：「好，我戒酒，請妳準備酒肉，我在神前發誓。」妻子供酒肉於神前，他跪下對神說：「天生劉伶，以酒為名，一飲一斛，五斗解酲。婦人之言，慎不可聽！」然後就喝醉了。◎情趣：王戎的妻子喜歡叫他「卿」，王戎認為這個稱呼於禮法不合，妻子說：「親卿愛卿，是以

唐宋詞最佳入門，三十餘年經典名家導讀，傾囊相授最全面、最專業的詩詞素養第五卷《問世間，情是何物》，收錄南宋、遼、金詞人包括──吳文英、周密、王沂孫、劉辰翁、文天祥、蔣捷、張炎、元好問等六十餘位詞人，三百餘首詞。清朱彝尊：「詞至南宋，始極其工，至宋季而始極其變。」亡國之音哀以思，在金國與蒙古前後交逼下，看宋末詞人如何迸發最後的奇思壯采，令無數麗字一一生動飛舞。另外，南人得江山之秀，北人以冰霜為清，金人詞伉爽清疏，自成格調，「問世間、情是何物，直教生死相許？」纏綿而清勁至極。【吳文英】用字用句，千錘百鍊，文詞能使萬花為春，如兼寫楊貴妃與連理海棠的「東風睡足交枝，正夢枕、瑤釵燕股。障灩蠟、滿照歡叢，嫠蟾冷落羞度。」以及「黃蜂頻撲秋千索，有當時、纖手香凝」、「何處合成愁？離人心上秋」等名句，可見其為宋末一大家。【周密】盡洗靡曼，詞如敲金戛玉，如「覓梅花信息，擁吟袖，暮鞭寒」、「孤棹晚，載詩還」、「雪霽空城，燕歸何處人家？夢魂欲渡蒼茫去，怕夢輕、還被愁遮」等，嚼雪盥花，新妙無與為匹。【王沂孫】品最高，味最厚。詞中之曹植、杜甫。如「殘虹收盡過雨，晚來頻斷續，都是秋意」、「一室秋燈，一庭秋雨，更一聲秋雁」、「顛倒絳英滿徑，想無車馬到山中」等，感時傷世之言，而出以纏綿忠愛。【張炎】本是承平貴公子，酒酣浩歌，不改王孫公子醞藉。宋亡之後，無家可歸，詞風淒愴纏綿。「無心再續笙歌夢，掩重門、淺醉閒眠。莫開簾，怕見飛花，怕聽啼鵑」、「向尋常野橋流水，待招來，不是舊沙鷗」、「寫不成書，只寄得、相思一點」。【蔣捷】宋亡不仕，其一生於戰亂年代中顛沛流離、飽經憂患。「笑綠鬟鄰女，倚窗猶唱，夕陽西下」、「流光容易把人拋，紅了櫻桃，綠了芭蕉」、「悲歡離合總無情，一任階前點滴到天明」其作多追昔傷今之詞，詞語尖新，詞風麗密，風格多樣。【元好問】博通經傳，工詩文，在金、元之際頗負重望。金亡不仕，詞近蘇、辛，風格沉鬱雄傑，「浩歌一曲酒千鍾。男兒行處是，未要論窮通」、「只近浮名不近情，且看不飲更何成。三杯漸覺紛華遠，一斗都澆塊磊平」、「澗壑風來號萬竅，盡入長松悲嘯」。情詞不多，但一經涉筆，便臻絕唱：「問世間、情是何物，直教生死相許？」、「鴛鴦隻影江南岸，腸斷枯荷夜雨聲」。除了元好問，本卷亦收入眾多金國詞人，可見其「清勁能樹骨」的風格。如仕金官至尚書右丞相的蔡松年「五畝蒼煙，一丘寒碧，歲晚憂風雪。西州扶病，至今悲感

唐詩最佳入門，三十餘年經典， 名家導讀，傾囊相授， 最全面、最專業的詩詞素養， 每日十分鐘讀首唐詩，輕鬆掌握全唐詩精華。 第三卷《此情可待成追憶》，收錄中唐至晚唐詩人 包括：杜牧、李商隱、賈島、李賀、溫庭筠、羅隱、韋莊等八十餘位詩人，三百五十首詩。 晚唐的詩，愈見雕琢，無論是瑰豔穠麗，或是狂誕清俊， 隨手一摘，皆是滿滿的名言金句，所有創作人必學必讀── 比喻自己的抱負，賈島說得極為鋒利：「十年磨一劍，霜刃未曾試。」 宮鬥之恐怖，朱慶餘描述：「含情欲說宮中事，鸚鵡前頭不敢言。」 「天若有情天亦老」，司馬光稱李賀此句「奇絕無對」，你對得出下句嗎？ 形容音樂，李賀更寫出足以泣鬼神的「女媧鍊石補天處，石破天驚逗秋雨」。 至於投降亡國之辱，花蕊夫人怒斥：「十四萬人齊解甲，更無一個是男兒！」 杜牧讓今日讀者朗朗上口的句子之多，簡直是金句之王，例如「商女不知亡國恨，隔江猶唱後庭花」、「江東子弟多才俊，卷土重來未可知」、「東風不與周郎便，銅雀春深鎖二喬」、「蠟燭有心還惜別，替人垂淚到天明」、「天階夜色涼如水，坐看牽牛織女星」……而杜牧在詩中使用數字，已經出神入化，例如「山頂千門次第開，一騎紅塵妃子笑」、「千里鶯啼綠映紅，水村山郭酒旗風。南朝四百八十寺，多少樓臺煙雨中」、「娉娉褭褭十三餘，荳蔻梢頭二月初。春風十里揚州路，卷上珠簾總不如」。 李商隱詩中用典故之多之冷僻，常常隱晦難解，請看本書學者細細道來之後，讓讀者更能品味李商隱詩中，華麗哀豔的佳句：「身無彩鳳雙飛翼，心有靈犀一點通」、「春心莫共花爭發，一寸相思一寸灰」、「春蠶到死絲方盡，蠟炬成灰淚始乾」、「何當共剪西窗燭，卻話巴山夜雨時」…… 「此情可待成追憶」，晚唐的詩，也是詩的最後盛世！ 【第三卷特別附錄】 ★唐代詩人與史事的對照年表： 你知道楊貴妃是嫁給壽王九年後，才改嫁給唐玄宗的嗎？ 玄宗和李白，都在安史之亂結束前一年就過世。 而白居易考上進士時，楊貴妃已經過世四十幾年。 憲宗、敬宗皆為宦官所殺，皇帝的廢立完全掌握在宦官手上， 這又如何影響當時的詩人？ 一次看懂王維、李白、杜甫、白居易、元稹、杜牧、李商隱……等詩人的生存年代，以及同時間社會上發生哪些重要事件。 ★唐詩名句索引： 好耳熟，到底是誰寫的詩？ 「人面桃花相映紅」、「一將功成萬骨枯」、「讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神」、「富貴於我如浮雲」、「天涯若比鄰」、「此曲只應天上有，人

唐宋詞最佳入門，三十餘年經典， 名家導讀，傾囊相授， 最全面、最專業的詩詞素養， 輕鬆掌握、檢索唐宋詞精華。 第四卷《那人卻在，燈火闌珊處》，收錄南宋詞人 包括──辛棄疾、劉過、姜夔、史達祖、劉克莊、黃昇等七十位詞人，三百餘首詞。 北宋滅亡、宋室南渡， 江南地區成為南宋文化重心。 一派人懷抱恢復故國山河之心，一派人隨局面安定隱於世市， 求戰？求和？二種時代性格，也是二種寫作風格。 繁華落盡的動亂年代，江南各地開出詩歌藝術之花…… 【辛棄疾】從金國率眾歸宋，一生懷抱北伐之志，卻不受重用。除了膾炙人口的「眾裡尋他千百度，驀然回首，那人卻在，燈火闌珊處。」「少年不識愁滋味，愛上層樓。愛上層樓，為賦新詞強說愁。」他的詞作更多是大聲疾呼其愛國之心、悲憤懷古。「渡江天馬南來，幾人真是經綸手？長安父老，新亭風景，可憐依舊。」他與北宋的蘇軾有「蘇辛」之稱，為豪放詞派的代表人物。 【姜夔】終生未仕，潦倒江湖，卻不僅被譽為南宋第一詞人，〈暗香〉、〈疏影〉兩首，更被譽為詠梅第一名篇：「翠尊易泣，紅萼無言耿相憶。」「莫似春風，不管盈盈 ，早與安排金屋。」。姜詞感時傷世，「剛健中含婀娜」的特色亦獨樹一幟，「歌扇輕約飛花，蛾眉正奇絕。」「綠楊巷陌秋風起，邊城一片離索。」 【史達祖】曾依隨抗金大臣韓侂冑，但也因韓之兵敗而被黜。作品發揚周邦彥富豔精工的特色，如「做冷欺花，將煙困柳，千里偷催春暮」，字字精鍊、句句精警、深情纏綿。其詠燕之詞，公認是絕唱：「還相雕梁藻井，又軟語商量不定。飄然快拂花梢，翠尾分開紅影。」 【劉克莊】因一首梅花詩「東風謬掌花權柄，卻忌孤高不主張」而得罪朝臣。其時，金軍、蒙古軍接踵而來，其詞則慷慨激越，多述恢復中原之志，「使李將軍，遇高皇帝，萬戶侯何足道哉！」「國脈微如縷。問長纓何時入手，縛將戎主？」 宋室南渡之後，部分文人懷抱恢復江山故河之心，於詞中大聲疾呼其愛國之情；而逐漸安定的局面，也讓部分文人重回詩酒風流的日常。無論主戰、主和，反映的是同一個時代的洪流，南宋也成為古典文學的最巔峰。 ※本書為改版書，原書名：《【每日讀詩詞】唐宋詞鑑賞辭典（第四卷）：那人卻在，燈火闌珊處──南宋》 【本書特色】 ★最全面的唐宋詞選集。讀唐宋詞，這一套就夠了。 全套五卷共收錄三百三十位詞人、一千五百餘首詞作。 ★葉嘉瑩、唐圭璋、繆鉞、周汝昌、俞平伯、施蟄存、夏承燾、宛敏灝等二百二十餘位學者專

唐宋詞最佳入門，三十餘年經典 名家導讀，傾囊相授 最全面、最專業的詩詞素養 輕鬆掌握、檢索唐宋詞精華 第三卷《一種相思，兩處閒愁》，收錄北宋至南宋詞人 包括──周邦彥、李清照、朱敦儒、陳與義、張元幹、岳飛、陸游、范成大、楊萬里、朱熹、張孝祥、朱淑真、陳亮等八十餘位詞人，三百二十首詞。 宋詞發展至此已近百年，終於由最深情、纏綿的周邦彥集大成。 在徽宗朝藝術最輝煌的時刻，「靖康之難」迅疾而來。 文人隨宋室南渡，或激憤或懊惱地懷想著， 他們曾經燦爛的城市，然而，此時卻報國無門。 最悲傷的是，他們是曾經見過繁華的一代人…… 【周邦彥】詞「富豔精工」、「無美不備」，看他將元宵燈節寫成人間仙境：「桂華流瓦，纖雲散，耿耿素娥欲下。」化用典故而寫出人間情痴：「寄將秦鏡，偷換韓香？天便教人，霎時廝見何妨！」更因名妓李師師唱其「并刀如水，吳鹽勝雪，纖手破新橙」而受徽宗賞識，也有謠傳因與李師師相好而得罪徽宗，只能黯然離京：「登臨望故國，誰識京華倦客？」一首「葉上初陽乾宿雨，水面清圓，一一風荷舉」，更是描寫荷花精神，古今絕唱。 【李清照】詞飽含無限淒婉，「短幅中藏無數曲折，自是聖於詞者。」她的每一首詞都是經典：「花自飄零水自流。一種相思，兩處閒愁。」「知否，知否？應是綠肥紅瘦！」「莫道不銷魂，簾捲西風，人比黃花瘦。」「只恐雙溪舴艋舟，載不動許多愁。」「尋尋覓覓，冷冷清清，淒淒慘慘戚戚。乍暖還寒時候，最難將息。」 【陸游】詞評價極高且詞風多樣，激昂慷慨者，不讓蘇軾、辛棄疾；流麗綿密者，可比晏幾道、賀鑄。如被迫與元配離婚而寫的「東風惡，歡情薄。一懷愁緒，幾年離索。錯，錯，錯。」詠野梅而自憐的名篇：「零落成泥碾作塵，只有香如故。」皆傳唱千年。他也曾經從軍抗金，滿懷報國至誠，「當年萬里覓封侯，匹馬戍梁州」，但卻不受重用「報國欲死無戰場」，「望秦關何處？嘆流年又成虛度。」 懷想美好年代，幾乎是此時文人的共同底蘊，如南宋名臣趙鼎：「天涯海角悲涼地，記得當年全盛時。」曾在前線抗金的張元幹：「孤負男兒志，悵望故園愁。」陸游：「胡未滅，鬢先秋，淚空流。」張孝祥在聞采石戰勝時也豪氣萬千：「我欲乘風去，擊楫誓中流。」當然更有「三十功名塵與土，八千里路雲和月」的岳飛，但值此亂世，他也不禁感嘆：「欲將心事付瑤琴，知音少，弦斷有誰聽？」 詞人筆下的「中州盛日」、「宣政風流」是永遠回不去了，夢中的故鄉，如今「但寒煙、滿
