豹變--保羅的讀書小筆記

推薦 0 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台

值漫遊「語教傳奇」際，正讀卜書，見書中有「豹變翻成蝶夢」一句，馬上為其豐富的意象所吸引。或許是由於兒時住過埔里，見過繁花粉蝶恣意鬧，樹枝間山伯英台追逐，溝南岸北迤邐出東坡的行草；每念及此，總引來如打坐時的嘴角微微上揚。

這句話大家較熟悉的應該是「蝶夢」。典出《莊子》齊物論「不知周之夢為蝴蝶與？蝴蝶之夢為周與？」，千古傳頌。其實《莊子》也提及夢化為魚化為鳥，大宗師中說：「且汝夢為鳥而厲乎天，夢為魚而沒於淵。不識今之言者，其覺者乎？其夢者乎？」這段借孔子之口回答顏回，教導其高徒安心接受變化，便可入於寥天一。

「豹變」源自《易經》革卦象辭：「大人虎變，其文炳也。…君子豹變，其文蔚也。」豹變描寫的是會做文章的人，舌思若泉，辭湧若藻，興奮處，如鞭雷驅電，繡虎雕龍，低迴時，似蒲柳早衰，崦嵫向晚；文采就像是花豹身上花紋斑爛亮眼。科舉時代有此文采學問肯定蟾宮連步。當年對策列高第，授朝散郎的王勃路過南昌，參與都督閻公宴餞時，寫下「落霞與孤鶩齊飛，秋水共長天一色」，「天高地迥，覺宇宙之無窮；興盡悲來，識盈虛之有數」等名句，宴罷往交趾省文，渡海溺水，驚悸成疾而卒，年僅廿八，令人有「豹變翻蝶夢」之嘆。

推衍來說，凡是人間光彩奪目之造作皆可稱「豹變」之作。例如畫家梵谷在一八八八年春天到法國阿爾(Arles)近郊畫下的「桃花盛開」，當時梵谷內心充滿希望，感情澎湃，服膺Camille Pissarro（1831-1903)在巴黎時向他說過的話：「你應當放膽去鋪張色覺，不管和諧與否，只要有色彩」。梵谷在虯結的樹枝上用了桃紅、粉紅、櫻紅、血紅，背景的淡雲藍天似乎只讓油彩未乾的綠地更加懾人心神。歷二年餘，畫完「黍園上的烏鴉」，梵谷似乎抵不住四合而來的魔影，以手槍對自己的脅骨射擊，三十七年痛苦生涯嘎然而止。

至此，「豹變翻蝶夢」所揭示的「人生無常」意思已十分明顯。但吾人不應只身陷其消極面，而應知「即使蝶夢，無妨豹變」。王勃的滕王閣序傳頌至今，無事拿來念念，仍心生歡喜，更加珍惜如詩樣美麗的中文，確是觀止之作。梵谷的遺作不只市價不菲，其中飽實的生命力，與生之欲的掙扎在在向世人宣說人類處境最深層的牽絆與救贖。

蝶言豹語空幻有，夜深人靜，本文是否也是夢中作？若有所悟，寫「豹變翻蝶夢，南柯生大有」，置於桌墊下，再尋周公去也。

Yours Lucky
March 14, 2007

Dear Sherry and Paul,
It’s me—yours Lucky. Indeed, long time no see. I haven’t seen Sherry for about 12 years and Paul even more. I remembered the year when I saw Sherry last time was 1995. Some of our fellows got together for a short time. Among them, Sherry gave me the deepest impression. She was thin and none of happiness. She let us know her lovely half was not with her. Poor Paul was in the USA. He worked very hard there. She knew she must be stronger to make him not worry about her and their young ones.… Fortunately, Paul came back with great success. They have lived a happy life from then on. Here with all my heart I wish the couple happy and lucky forever.

Dear Lucky:
Thanks for your greetings. I hope that we can get together within a short period of time; this upcoming summer maybe?

Life is like a flow. We can only go with it. By the way, we have only one youngster in the family, a naughty boy, now second-grader in the senior high school. How many kids do you have now?
Good luck to you and your lovely family, too.

Sherry to Lucky
Oh! Did I look unhappy when we old classmates met last time in Changhuang? I didn`t remember it. Maybe that`s because I got tired after driving a long way from Taipei to Changhuang. Sorry for making old friends worried then. Anyway, with Lucky`s wishes, we will surely be happier and luckier. Wish you and your family happiness, too.
