李振钧题画诗考论

李振钧出身安徽太湖官宦世家,清代道光九年状元.他的诗集《味灯听叶庐诗草》中有59首题画诗.清代题画诗的繁荣,对书画的喜爱以及与画家的广泛交游促使他创作了大量的题画诗.他的题画诗反映了他看重性情、坦率放纵、追求个性自由、热爱艺术的特点,为我们提供了观照他的新角度.诗歌书画是他安顿自己痛苦心灵的处所,也是其解救自己的途径.他的人生经历反映了一个灵魂在现实的挤压和艺术的放纵里挣扎的心路历程.最终,他为了外在的功名放弃了自我,又不能适应官场的倾轧,45岁便抑郁而终.

On Li Zhenjun's Poems for Paintings

Li Zhenjun was born in a bureaucratic family in Taihu County of Anhui Province, and he ranked first overall nationwide in imperial examination in the ninth year of Daoguang Reign of Qing Dynasty. Due to the prosperity of poems for paintings during the period, his appreciation of poem and painting and his acquaintance with many painters, he created a larger number of poems for paintings. In Poems of Weideng Tingye Cottagem, he composed 59 poems for paintings. His poems show that he is a scholar attaching much importance to frankness and straightforwardness of personality, and to freedom and art, which helps us gain a new and better understanding of him. However, he could only find in poems and paintings a room to console his suffering heart and a way to save himself. His life experience is a journey of the heart struggling between ruthlessness of reality and wildness of art. Finally, he gave up and pursued for external fame, but was unable to adjust himself to bureaucratic strife and died of depression only at the age of 45.
