小黑侠
An interesting small book, aptly reflected a Qing’s intellectual’s attitude towards life. It is a book only one who really has plenty of leisure time can afford to write, for it is a book about how to live a leisure life. Li Yu, the author, is endowed with a genius capacity to appreciate every fun and interest in mundane life. He is good story teller and owns a wonderful flair for self-revelation.
When sharing with the readers his philosophy and lifestyle, he wrote in a tone of humor, and made the reader smile from time to time. For example, when talking about meat, he compared several types of animals and then gave his recipe, some of which was claimed to be “released for the first time with the author’s regret”. Li’s attitude towards these animal species is a utilitarian one. To eat or not to eat totally depends on utility of the animal. He didn’t eat beef or dog’s meat, for these two animals worked loyally for mankind and he sees it as very cruel to eat them. Compared to ox and dog, it is more illegitimate to eat roosters, for though they herald the break of the day, the dawn will come even if they don’t crow. And this utilitarian argument goes, compared to ducks, eating roosters would be less justifiable for the ducks do nothing for their hosts. Humorous as it is, I still find this argument is grounded on unpersuasive evidence. For me, every life accounts regardless of their utility.
This book also unveiled Li’s aesthetic philosophy. For Li Yu, the criteria of beauty are simple, elegant and natural. These criteria dominate his critiques throughout the book, remarking on a vast scope of things in daily life, ranging from girls’ beauty, women’s gowns, food, rock garden to opera. Yet his criteria is not rigid and dogmatic, with variations to adapt to different cases. The criteria acts like a suggestion given in a certain tempo-spatial circumstance rather than a fixed stereotype, as illustrated in the many instances he provided.
For example, Li advised, though in most cases girls should not wear too much jewelries, but a newly-wed bride should wear plenty of gold, silver or jade jewelry in fine decorations for the first month since her wedding day, in an attempt to fulfill the good wishes of her parents, her mother-in-law and father-in-law (why not for herself or her husband? Come on, don’t forget this is not in the twenty first century, it is difficult, if not impossible, to judge people in Qing Dynasty by our own modern criteria). Her parents’ “good wishes” were not clearly stated, but I think seeing her well dress-up, her parents would feel assured for it shows her husband’s family’s emphasis on and the acknowledgement of her status in the new family. Except for this one month, a girl is advised by Li Yu to wear one or two pieces of jewelry every day, for too much jewelry will attract the attention of others which should have been focuses on the natural beauty of her face.
I think what makes this book distinct to others is for the most part, the author’s ingenuousness. He loves flowers and said he had four lives in seasons – narcissus and orchid in spring, lotus in summer, crabapple in autumn and plum flowers in winter. He recorded that one year he was impoverished and all his clothes were pawned. In spite of the poverty, he insisted on purchasing narcissus, as in the previous years. His family members plead him not to do so. He answered: “Do you want to take my life? In spite of the heavy snow, I come back home from a long distance to see narcissus. If there is no narcissus, why should I come back?” Then he pawned earrings (most probably his wife’s, I guess) to purchase narcissus. He seems quite stubborn and obstinate in this case. Maybe in the eyes of many others, this is odd. Does it matter if he doesn’t see the narcissus for a year, if the whole family were starving? Yet, maybe this is where Li Yu distances himself from others and other critics. His life is not just for appreciation of beauty, but he tries to make his life beauty itself, thought this beauty in many cases this beauty means sorrow for others. He is committed to his philosophy, and continued to live a leisure life even when he is penniless. This commitment demands s an ingenuous dedication to one’s belief, rather than courage. In short, his lifestyle of leisure is impossible to imitate and hence amazing and unique.

去年夏天，高考刚刚结束，沉浸在夏日漫长无聊的时光中，经妈妈力荐，看了李渔的这本《闲情偶寄》。确切的说，到现在我还没有真正看完它。一直觉得，这一类的书，并不是一般的从第一页看到最后一页。而是就放在那儿，须有时间与几许闲情，在无事可做的时候，随手翻翻，细细品读那些文言语句。除去戏曲一章须下些功夫之外，其余皆可当生活中一些闲情雅致，扮扮小资情调。譬如教人簪花配饰，衣饰洁面，听曲养生。让时间慢下来，去体会古代人的生活，一切都是细致，缓慢。或晴天午后，看完十几页，不觉日影移动，倦鸟归巢，又是晚饭时间。或阴天欲雨，天光晦暗，坐在窗边，亦可看完几章。
现代人生活节奏那样快，细细想来，除去上班，吃饭，睡觉，也未曾做过几件像样的事来。须有几许闲情，几份可浪费的时间，静坐品茗，阅读冥想，散步赏花，与故友家人交谈，偶尔也需感受感受百年前的生活情趣。

爷爷你的心还年轻如少年啊---读《闲情偶寄》后六部
By/狐狸猜
原谅我标题无能。
虽说我在萌之学府的主修课是美少年，但各款大叔老爷爷也不时打动我的心扉，个人以为，老爷爷一旦风流倜傥起来那个气场，那、那叫一个英俊啊，足以激发我混杂着大叔味道的少女情怀。
这本《闲情偶寄》我小时候就粗略看过，但当时年纪小，看的节选本都不知道，那版选的居然全是《词曲部》《演习部》这些戏曲部分，让年幼的我得出了“这是一本讲唱戏的无聊书”这一错误结论。在此严重BS一下选这版书的坏叔叔坏阿姨们，节选本也要尽量表现全貌啊，笠翁爷爷的风情万种完全没体现嘛。
嗯所以，这次就专门讲讲后六部，也就是声容啦、居室啦、器玩啦之类吃喝玩乐的内容。
首先，爷爷就兴致勃勃细致入微地讲解了如何挑小妾这一文人生活中的重要组成部分。当然啦，即使身为伪·女权主义者，我觉得也没必要对此拍案而起，痛斥封建文人玩弄妇女的腐朽落后行为，这是人家的历史局限性嘛，放轻松放轻松。
爷爷口水掉掉地说啦，选妾一要看肌肤，要白要嫩；二要看眉眼，要灵动要秀气；还要选足观手，要纤纤玉指要窄窄金莲；最后看态度，要天生一段媚态，媚态重于姿色。一次代人相妾(您平时都在干什么啊……）一位候选姑娘抬头时“初不即抬，及强而后可，先以眼光一瞬，似于看人而实非看人，瞬毕复定而后抬，俟人看毕，复以眼光一瞬而后俯”，弄得老先生心神摇荡。
眉眼那段也看得我笑出声，爷爷说眉毛要有天然之曲，“远山”“新月”总得类似一款，“最忌平空一抹，有如太白经天；又忌两笔斜冲，俨然倒书八字”，而且我辈怜香惜玉之人，不是为难姑娘哦，“以其为温柔乡择人，非为娘子军择将也。”
硬件有了，软件也要跟上，接着就谈梳妆首饰衣衫鞋袜，现摘录如下：
认为如今的“牡丹头”“荷花头”“钵盂头”都唐突佳人，你把盛饭之器扣在人家头上干嘛。
匀面须匀项，不然如鬼脸；匀面必掠眉，否则类社婆。
点唇只点一点方是樱唇，如果点得太过，“是为成串樱桃，非一粒也”。
男子遇到美貌妻妾不易，一簪一珥是必备，家里再穷也得种上花供美人点缀云鬓，不然人家白美了一场。
耳环愈小愈佳，忌太大太繁，“时非元夕，何须耳上悬灯？”。
衣衫贵洁贵雅。看不出针线最好，时下流行的零拼碎补“水田衣”丑得直击爷爷的心脏：“缝碎裂者为百衲僧衣，女子何辜，忽现出家之相？”。
云肩夹里与衣裙同色为佳，风吹起美人衣袖，里外同色才美观。
衣裙颜色宜淡宜纯，爷爷读旧诗里有“红裙”等句，心中不屑，“颇笑前人之笨”。
鞋用高底，为使“小者愈小，瘦者愈瘦”，然而大脚往往穿来藏拙，真真“埋没作者一段初心”。
而附录中爷爷好友余怀同学所著《妇人鞋袜辨》则再次证明了“人以群分”的道理。
下围棋可以让男女冷静，“缓兵降火之法，莫善于此”，可保后宫安宁也。
美人最宜学吹箫。吹笙时两腮鼓起，难看。吹箫时玉笋尖尖，朱唇小小，更添娇媚。
接着是自己的衣食住行。窗栏用纵横格还是屈曲体，屈曲体作“桃花浪”还是“浪里梅”都有关心情。
装扮窗景，名为“无心画”，坐在窗前就如同赏画一般，大为得意，“不觉狂笑失声”，招来一群妻妾。（捂脸翻滚~）
动手打扮书房壁，把豆绿云母笺撕成小块随手贴满墙，满房冰裂碎纹像哥窑一样，我想象了一下，确实又美又趣致啊。
做了一把暖椅，可御寒、可坐可卧、可当轿子，实为居家旅行必备良品，可代孝子贤妇之职。爷爷就担惊受怕涞---仓颉造字天雨粟鬼夜哭，我造了这种神品会不会也犯了泄露灵秘之忌呀？（掩面，爷爷你太可爱了）
骨董没有用，买了它，“与之坐谈往事乎？”
在手炉上雕花刻诗，自夸“湖上笠翁，实有稗于风雅，非僭词也。”
爷爷这类自吹自擂还有很多：
黄杨实有品格，“非稍能格物之笠翁，孰知之哉？”
看花听鸟不可一日不做，“花鸟得予，亦所称‘一人知己，死可无恨’者乎！”
讲了几段药物就兴头头创立了《笠翁本草》。
提到李白直接是“吾家太白诗云……”，就算同姓爷爷你也认生一点好吗~
爷爷自夸惊天动地，夸起人来也是冬雷夏雪。夸笋是“至美”，夸到蕈怎么办，没关系你是“至美于笋之外”。
花草果蔬也当作人对待。
韭菜不吃老的，吃韭菜芽，因为还没有老韭菜的臭味，“是其孩提之心未变也”。
鸡能报明，算有功之物，“烹饪之刑，似宜稍宽于鹅鸭”。
把处子之裙系在杏树上便结子累累，你这个“风流树”太坏了！（当然名字也是爷爷取的）
世人皆重牡丹，芍药只居相位，太低太低，至少是诸侯吧。爷爷常常温言劝慰芍药：“别听那些无知人的话，不跟他们一般计较。”
同时，爷爷也是中国历史上的反盗版先驱，翻刻我的书，还让不让我活了？“我耕彼食，情何以堪？”“誓当决一死战”，为了我养妾喝酒赏花听戏的money！（握拳~）

渔伯伯他吧，觉得《惊梦》、《寻梦》算不得《牡丹亭》最好两折，因其“犹是今曲，非元曲也”。“袅情丝，吹来闲庭院，摇漾春如线”“停半晌，整花钿，没揣菱花，偷人半面”“良辰美景奈何天，赏心乐事谁家院”诸句，皆为伯伯所诟病，认为太费经营，太欠明爽，只堪作好文章把玩，不可作传奇视听；而“似虫儿般蠢动，把风情煽”“恨不得肉儿般团成片也，逗得个日下胭脂雨上鲜”“是这答儿压黄金钏扁”“地老天昏，没处把老娘安顿”“叫的你喷嚏似天花唾”则令伯伯喜悦。
咳咳！我不是要对伯伯不敬。“叫的你喷嚏似天花唾”确是生动，后面《闹殇》一出还有更生动的呢：“小姐不在，春香姐也松泛许多……鸡眼睛不用你做嘴儿挑，马子儿不用你随鼻儿倒”…… ……
阿汤哥真大师也。唱罢“良辰”句杜丽娘当下说的是“恁般景致，我老爷和奶奶再不提起”——方吐生花妙语，旋作小儿女状，盖自悔太事题赏，失却本分，遽饰以家常娇嗔之语乎？一如宝钗说的，女孩儿家缝缝补补最要紧，就偶而写字也是顽的，倘若认真做起诗来，岂不叫大方笑掉大牙！岂止闺门旦如此，贴旦、生，并那末花神，那一个不是长长短短，短短长长，村话里夹着翠鲜鲜词章，雅韵里绽出活泼泼心肠。本是天然一物、混不可分的好戏文，渔伯伯又何须代演盘古之功？……
既工既乱，亦俗亦雅，传奇须得如此写，方是留够余地给那唱念做打的人。
