顧起元(1565-1628)從小生活在金陵,萬曆二十六年(1598),他上京出任,離開家鄉,金陵成爲他念茲在茲的故鄉。萬曆三十三年(1605),他辭官歸里。此次歸鄉,他已有長居鄉里的打算,且著手於與金陵相關事物之書寫。金陵成爲他書寫的最重要場域,不僅是他的文學創作背景,也是他筆下所塑造的一座城市。因此,本文將探討顧起元如何運用其在金陵居住的經驗與記憶,形構晚明在地文人心目中的金陵形象。 顧起元歸鄉後,遯園是他生命意義得以實踐之處。在遯園,顧起元得以規劃屬於自己的一片山林,以疏懶的狀態過閒適自由的生活。在呈現遯園的閒居生活時,顧起元亦不忘書寫遯園所處的位置——杏花村。他將遯園視作歸鄉後的立足點,以此爲據點,不斷地擴大書寫範圍,從遯園延伸至杏花村群體園林,並通過「遊」的方式來書寫繁榮的金陵城市與恆久的金陵山水。 杏花村經過顧起元的書寫顯得更加立體、生活化,以此亦能見顧起元有意識地對金陵杏花村的地景進行隱逸空間形象的建構,當中顯現了他對金陵歷史、金陵名賢、金陵景色的自信,呈現了對家鄉的自豪。 相較於園林這類新興的景點,顧起元的遊記書寫放眼於金陵較爲恆久的景區,如:秦淮河畔與金陵山水。他的遊蹤可謂遍及金陵,對金陵景點亦呈現了喜惡愛好,積極地塑造有別於一般人的生活品位。相對於秦淮河畔的煩雜,他更傾向呈現自己的山水癖好,尤其鍾愛以山寺爲代表的岑寂之處。這兩者間的抉擇,亦能見他作爲晚明文人心中的矛盾。 顧起元金陵書寫是一種對於生活環境的高度自覺下的創作,不僅呈現了他的個人經驗與生活感受、建構了他心目中的金陵形象,也爲當時的金陵社會、後來的金陵書寫發揮了實際的作用與意義。
