唐诗，这座令后人仰望而着迷的文学山峰，奇峰突起又雄浑高绝，吸引人们不断尝试攀登。

西川，上世纪八十年代起活跃诗坛，是当代最重要的诗人之一。他以新作《唐诗的读法》开启了又一个新鲜的尝试，好比架设一台具有X光功能的望远镜，打开一条带着他体温的思考通道，让耳熟能详的唐代诗人从故纸堆里立起来。

Tang poems are like a fascinating literary pinnacle admired by later generations. It is not only splendid but also magnificent, attracting people to constantly conquer it.

Xichuan, who has been active in the field of poetry since the 1980s, is one of the most influential contemporary poets. He made a new attempt with his new book How to Read Tang Poems as if setting up a telescope with X-ray function, building a path of thinking with his own characteristics and making those famous Tang Dynasty poets more real and vivid.

解锁花式“理论”Introductions to Miscellaneous ‘Theories’

西川有自己的野心，或者说坚持。本书中，他没有罗列多少李杜等人的生活秘闻，而是通过对整个唐诗文化的重新审视和打量，希望从理论上就给我们一个全新的，甚至可以是颠覆式的阅读和理解通道。

比如，他一上来就抛出唐诗缩小阅读论、进士文化论，安史之乱对唐诗的影响论，还有针对杜牧李商隐的“窝囊”论，可以说是传统的唐诗解读中不多见甚至没有过的。

只是，书名虽是要谈“读法”，但理论的言说远远大于细节的陈列，几乎没有对一首具体的诗作进行具体的解读，这对于大多数普通读者来说，不啻为一条坎坷的险路了。西川似乎在用一个诗坛大腕、诗词高手的境界，衡量和要求所有诗歌写作者乃至爱好者。

Xichuan has his own ambition, or persistence. In this book, he did not focus on introducing the secrets of life of Tang Dynasty Poets, including Li Bai and Du Fu.Instead, he re-examined and looked at the entire culture of Tang poems, hoping to theoretically give us a brand-new and even subversive reading and understanding channel.

For example, at the beginning, he started to present theories of Tang poems narrow reading quantity, Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) culture,the influence of the Rebellion of An Lushan and Shi Siming on Tang poems, and the ‘cowardliness’ of Du Mu and Li Shangyin. This is rare or even absent in the traditional interpretation of Tang poems.

However, although the title of this book is meant to talk about ‘How to Read’, the introduction of theories is far more than descriptions of the details. There is almost no concrete interpretation of a specific poem. This is tough for most average readers. Xichuan seems to evaluate and require all poetry writers and even amateurs with a standard of professional and talent poet.境秘府·南卷》“论文意”篇的话给出了答案——“凡作诗之人，皆自抄古今诗语精妙之处，名为随身卷子，以发兴也。”

什么是随身卷子？同书引名为《九意》的随身卷子来告诉你：《九意》者，“一春意；二夏意；三秋意；四冬意；五山意；六水意；七雪意；八雨意；九风意。”“春意”条下有一百二十句，如“云生似盖，雾起似烟，垂松万岁，卧柏千年，罗云出岫，绮雾张天，红桃绣苑……”“秋意”条下有一百四十句，如“花飞木悴，叶落条空，秋天秋夜，秋月秋蓬，秋池秋雁，秋渚秋鸿，朝云漠漠，夕雨蒙蒙……”
